    • After the meeting, it sends a Google Doc with the meeting notes to the organizer (and sometimes the person who started note-taking). Google Help+1

    • It supports multiple languages but keeps only one spoken language during the meeting. Google Help

⚠️ Things to watch out for / limitations

  • Privacy & consent: Recording/transcribing meetings automatically can raise privacy concerns. All participants should be made aware.

  • Languages: Some tools only support certain spoken languages, or may only handle one at a time.

  • Costs and Plan-Requirements: Many features (AI summaries, auto-joining bots, etc.) may require paid plans.

  • Accuracy: Especially with accents, overlapping speech, names, etc., the auto transcription could have errors. Always good to review.

  • Post-meeting editing: Tools might not catch every action item perfectly — some manual cleanup helps.
