Options for using Notetaker
1. Auto-join (set and forget)
Configure Notetaker to join all internal and/or external meetings by default. You can still admit or deny it on a per-meeting basis. This is the recommended approach for most users.
2. Per-meeting toggle
Enable or disable Notetaker for a specific upcoming meeting without changing your default settings. This applies to recurring meetings too.
3. Invite to a live meeting
Already in a call? Paste a Google Meet or Zoom link to have Notetaker join within seconds. You can also trigger this directly from the Work page when Coworker detects you are on an active call.
4. Instant meetings (One-click Notetaker)
Start an audio-only meeting directly in Coworker without a Google Meet or Zoom link. This creates an "Instant Meeting" that is transcribed and summarized just like any other call. Useful for quick conversations or when you do not have a meeting link.
What to expect during a meeting
Notetaker attempts to join 5 minutes before the scheduled start time
It remains for up to 5 minutes after the call ends
If it is not admitted within 5 minutes of the meeting start, it will time out and leave
On Google Meet and Zoom, it appears in the waiting room and must be admitted by a participant
What you get after the meeting
Transcript: Available in Coworker approximately 30 seconds after the call ends
Summary report: Available approximately 1–2 minutes after the call ends, including discussion topics and action items
Note: Your Google Calendar must be connected to Coworker for Notetaker to automatically join your meetings
