There are cases when you have a meeting link to join right now. It is not a scheduled event, but an ad hoc or impromptu meeting. How can the Wudpecker notetaker bot join in this situation?

Answer: You use the Invite Notetaker feature.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

In the main menu, press "Invite Notetaker".
​

Enter the meeting link

Then press "Invite notetaker". A notetaker is on your way, and it shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes.

Note: if you don't admit the bot in the meeting within two minutes, it will automatically leave the lobby.
