Recording Google Meet

Google Meet is the most flexible platform in ScribX: you can capture in-call with the extension or send a bot — whichever fits the moment.

Availability — Google Meet

Bot ✅ · Browser extension ✅ (full side panel) · Quick Notes (mic) ✅ See the full capability matrix.

Desktop app or web?

Google Meet runs in the browser — there's no desktop app. Both options work in your tab: use the extension if you're already in the call, or send a bot to stay hands-off.

The ScribX side panel inside a Google Meet call
Google Meet gets the full ScribX side panel — live transcript, translation and capture controls in-call.

If you're already in the call with the extension installed, open the ScribX side panel and hit capture — no link to paste, nothing joins the call. You get the live transcript and captions right in Meet.

→ Capture from the extension

Paste the Meet link into Start ScribX in the web app and a bot joins as a participant, records, and leaves when the call ends. Best for scheduled calls or when you don't want to keep a tab open. Bots can also auto-join from your calendar.

→ Send a bot

Admit the bot​

If the meeting holds guests, a host clicks Admit when ScribX asks to join — or admits ScribX from the People panel if the prompt doesn't show. With the extension you also get an Admit & record shortcut. Full steps: Admit the bot.

Google may show a "potential risk" label

On newer Google Meet, the bot can appear under a "potential risk" heading when it asks to join. That's just Google flagging any external participant — it's expected. Admit ScribX as usual.

  • Restricted Meet meetings (limited to signed-in accounts in a Workspace domain) can block outside participants — ask the host to allow guests, or admit the bot manually.

Troubleshooting​

  • Bot stuck on "Joining" — it's waiting in the lobby; a host needs to admit it.
  • No ScribX side panel in the call — refresh the Meet tab, and check the extension is installed & pinned and you're signed in.
  • Bot can't join a restricted meeting — the meeting is limited to signed-in accounts; ask the organizer to allow guests, or admit the bot manually.
  • More fixes: Troubleshooting the extension.
