If you forget to set up the Meeting Recorder before a meeting or your meeting starts unexpectedly, you can add the Recorder to a virtual meeting that is already in progress by providing the meeting URL directly.
How to add Recorder to a live meeting
Navigate to Meetings in the side menu
Click Invite Coworker Recorder
Paste the Google Meet or Zoom meeting URL into the field and click Invite Recorder
Coworker Recorder will join the meeting within approximately 5–10 seconds and appear as an attendee named Coworker Recorder
Admitting Recorder from the waiting room
Depending on your meeting settings, Recorder may appear in the waiting room before it can join. The meeting host or co-host must admit it. Once admitted, the Recorder begins capturing audio and will generate a transcript and summary report when the meeting ends.
Notes
Recorder only records from the point it joins — it cannot capture audio from before it was invited.
If Recorder is not admitted within 5 minutes, it will stop attempting to join.
This method works for both Google Meet and Zoom meetings.
For recurring meetings, consider using auto-join settings instead of adding Recorder manually each time.
