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

- When the meeting ends, audio is uploaded for processing
- 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:
