Joining Zoom calls
Metaview will join scheduled Zoom 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 Zoom.Allowing the Notetaker bot into the call
If your Zoom settings require meeting hosts to admit guests, the Notetaker will need to wait in the Zoom “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. ClickAdmit
to allow the Notetaker to join your call and start capturing notes for you.
Ending your call
Metaview’s Notetaker bot will stay on the Zoom 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. If no one joins the call, Metaview will leave after 15 minutes from the scheduled start time.Invite Metaview to an ongoing Zoom call
