  2. Click Add account
  3. Select Google
  4. Complete authorization
  5. Google Meet is now ready to use

Bot-Free Recording

Amie's desktop app records Google Meet calls without adding a bot to the meeting:

How It Works

  1. Join your Google Meet call normally
  2. Click Record in Amie's meeting panel
  3. Your desktop app captures system audio locally
  4. When the meeting ends, audio is uploaded for processing
  5. Receive transcription, summary, and action items

Requirements

  • Amie desktop app (macOS or Windows)
  • System audio capture permissions enabled
  • Meeting must be active

Privacy Benefits

  • No bot joins your meeting
  • Other participants don't see a recording indicator from Amie
  • Audio is processed on your device first

Account Compatibility

The integration works with both:

| Account Type | Support | |--------------|---------| | Personal Gmail | ✓ Full support | | Google Workspace | ✓ Full support |

Transcription & Notes

After a recorded meeting:

  1. Audio is uploaded to secure cloud storage
  2. AssemblyAI transcribes the conversation
  3. AI generates a summary with key points
  4. Action items are extracted and assigned
  5. Notes appear in your meeting details

Processing typically takes a few minutes depending on meeting length.

Troubleshooting

Meet Link Not Generating

  • Ensure your Google account is connected
  • Check that you have permission to create Meet links
  • Try refreshing or reconnecting your Google account

Recording Not Working

  • Verify you're using the desktop app (not web)
  • Check system audio permissions in your OS settings
  • Ensure the meeting is active before clicking Record

Transcription Issues

  • Long meetings may take more time to process
  • Check Settings → Transcription for language preferences
  • Ensure the audio quality was clear during the meeting

Google Workspace Restrictions

Some Google Workspace admins restrict Meet features:

  • Check with your IT admin if features are unavailable
  • External recording may be disabled by organization policy

Privacy & Security

  • Local recording — Audio captured on your device first
  • Encrypted upload — Secure transfer to processing servers
  • You control sharing — Choose who sees your meeting notes
  • No participant awareness — Bot-free means no visible recorder
