Video lesson coming soon. For now, follow the steps below.
The meeting bot joins a Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams call (or a Discord voice channel), records it, and at the end generates the transcript and summary. Each recorded minute uses 2 credits.
Where to find it in Cognizy
Before you start
- Have the meeting link ready.
- Let participants know the call will be recorded.
Step by step
- Step 1:
Open . At the top, see how many minutes were recorded this month and how many your credits cover. Click Add to meeting.
- Step 2:
Choose Meet, Zoom, or Teams and paste the Meeting link. If you want, add a title.
- Step 3:
Under When to join, choose Join now or Schedule for the meeting time, and the Meeting language. Click Join meeting.
- Step 4:
The bot asks to join the call: accept it in the meeting room. When the meeting ends, it appears in Meetings with the recording, transcript, and summary.
How to know it worked
The meeting appears in the list with the duration, summary, next steps, and transcript. The recorded minutes are added to the monthly counter.
If something goes wrong
The bot didn’t join.
It stays in the waiting room until someone in the meeting lets it in. Also check that the link is for the right meeting and that it has already started.
I want to email the summary to the participants.
Send the bot from the Schedule tab with Google Calendar connected: a manually pasted link doesn’t include the guests’ email addresses.
