Google Workspace now features automatic recording, transcription, and note-taking for video calls in Google Meet.
Auto Recording is enabled by default, but you can quickly turn it off in the Workspace settings. This option does exactly what its name suggests - it allows you to automatically record meetings. This should make life easier for many users who have lost important conversations because they forgot to press the record button before starting a meeting.
Automatic transcription works similarly to automatic recording and can be turned off in the settings. This feature generates a text transcript of all conversations that took place during the call.
The third new feature in Meet allows you to set Gemini to take notes automatically. The option will be available under Apps > Google Workspace > Google Meet > Meet video settings > Auto-create notes.
All three features should already be available in Meet. To use them from your organization's account, you may need to enable them from your administrator.
