How to Record a Google Meet Meeting
Learn how to record Google Meet meetings effectively, from simple in-app methods to API solutions for businesses.
Add meeting intelligence to your business app without developing your own meeting bots. Get meeting recordings, transcripts, and native calendar integrations with the Nylas Notetaker API.
While other teams get stuck with Google Meet’s recording restrictions and manual triggers, you can build across all platforms.
The Nylas Notetaker API gets meeting data for you so you can focus on building competitive AI features.
We’ve made it easy to integrate your app to Google Meet with Notetaker.
Follow these steps:
1. Authenticate: Users authenticate through OAuth to connect their Google accounts. You’ll use your Nylas API key and their Grant ID to deploy meeting bots.
2. Schedule and deploy meeting bots: Automatically deploy meeting bots to join Google Meet calls using meeting URLs or calendar sync rules that monitor scheduled events.
3. Access data: Retrieve post-meeting recordings and speaker-labeled transcripts through webhooks or direct API calls.
4. Sync data: Sync meeting outputs to CRMs, training platforms, or other systems.

The Google Meet API is a REST API that allows developers to create and manage Google Meet spaces, retrieve meeting data, and access artifacts like recordings and transcripts programmatically.
Notetaker supports integration for CRMs, training platforms, developer tools, and more. You can use our API to build app that benefits from meeting recordings and transcripts.
Notetaker requires users to authenticate through OAuth to connect their Google accounts. You’ll need a Grant ID for authenticated users and your Nylas API key to make requests on their behalf.
Notetaker provides meeting recordings and transcripts with speaker identification. You can then use your own AI processing or integrate with AI services to analyze the transcript data for insights.
Rate limits depend on your Notetaker plan. Check our pricing page for details.
