Google Meet
Metaview seamlessly captures meetings through Google Meet. Just add Metaview as a participant to your Google Meet video call and we’ll automatically record, transcribe, and summarize everything. No changes to your existing workflow are required.
Joining Google Meet calls
Metaview will join scheduled Google Meet calls autonomously up to 2 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. You will know that Metaview Notetaker is capturing notes for you when it appears as a guest participant in your Google Meet.
Allowing the Notetaker bot into the call
If your Google Meet settings require meeting hosts to admit guests, the Notetaker will need to wait in the Google Meet "waiting room" and will send this request notification to the meeting host. Metaview will not capture any notes for you until it has been admitted into the meeting.
Whoever is the meeting host on the Google Meet call will need to admit the Notetaker bot within 8 minutes of the scheduled start time after which the Notetaker bot will kicked out of the Google Meet waiting room. If you use multiple Google accounts, make sure you are logged in to the same Google account as the one that organized the meeting. You should see the "Meeting Host" title next to your name in the participant tab.
If a call starts late, the bot may have already timed out and left the waiting room by the time the meeting host joins and admits the bot. We recommend using the
Ending your call
Metaview's Notetaker bot will stay on the Google Meet call until all participants have left, there is no audio for a extended period of time, or if the meeting is ended by the host. Your notes will be ready on your Metaview account within 5 minutes of the bot leaving the call.
Removing the Notetaker bot before the end of the call
Call participants can easily remove Notetaker bot from an ongoing Google Meet. Meeting hosts can remove the bot directly from the meeting screen. Select the bot, click ⋮ (3 dots) and Remove from the call. If you remove the bot at the very start of the call, Metaview will not process any notes.
Metaview interviewers and account admins can also remove Metaview from an ongoing call from their Metaview account home page. To do so, go to section "Completed interviews", click ⋮ (3 dots) of the ongoing call and select the Remove bot option. If you remove the bot at the start of the call, Metaview will not process the notes. Click Confirm and the bot will leave the Google Meet call within 30 seconds.
Customizing the bot's appearance
By default, Metaview appears as "AI Notetaker: powered by Metaview" on your Google Meet calls. If your organization would like to customize this by adding your logo as shown below, please submit your request here or have your account admin submit a logo to support@metaview.ai with the following specifications:
SVG or PNG format
Minimum 400px width
Logo background must be transparent

Changing your Google Meet settings
To change your Google Meet settings, select an upcoming calendar event in Google Meet. Click the ⚙️ (gear) icon to access the Video call options.
Under Meeting Access, you will see three options for Meeting access type. The Notetaker bot will join automatically (no "waiting room") if the meeting access type is set to Open. If the meeting access type is set to Trusted or Restricted, the Notetaker bot will have to request access from the Google Meet "waiting room" and can only be admitted by a meeting host.
Make the desired changes, and click Save. If your Google Meet settings are controlled by your IT administrator, you may need to contact them to make these changes.
