Overview

The CallBricks Google Meet Recorder uses automated meeting bots to capture your Google Meet sessions. Once configured, a "Callbricks Notetaker" bot will join your scheduled calls and record them automatically. The recording is then uploaded to CallBricks, transcribed, and analyzed.

This is perfect for teams that use Google Meet but don't have access to Google Workspace's built-in recording feature, or anyone who wants seamless recording without relying on browser extensions.

Bot Setup

  1. Link your Calendar: Navigate to Settings → Integrations and connect your Google Calendar.
  2. Automatic Scheduling: Callbricks will automatically scan your calendar for upcoming Google Meet links.
  3. Bot Assignment: A bot will be scheduled to join your call at the appointed time.

Calendar Integration Required

To use the automated bot, you must connect your Google Calendar so Callbricks can detect when your Google Meets are scheduled.

Recording a Call

  1. Start your meeting: Join your Google Meet call at the scheduled time.
  2. Admit the Bot: The "Callbricks Notetaker" will request to join the session. The meeting host must click "Admit" to let the bot in.
  3. Automatic Recording: Once admitted, the bot will silently record the audio, video, and generate transcripts for the entire duration of the call.
  4. End the Meeting: Simply hang up when finished. The bot will automatically leave when the meeting ends or when there are no external participants left.

Removing the Bot

If a meeting is sensitive or you do not wish to be recorded, simply use Google Meet's participant controls to remove the "Callbricks Notetaker" from the meeting room.

How It Works

Behind the scenes, the Callbricks bot joins as a regular attendee, capturing high-quality audio and video for all speakers. When the call ends, the recording is assembled into a single file and the normal CallBricks processing pipeline kicks in:

  • Speaker Recognition: The bot identifies who is speaking and separates the audio tracks.
  • Transcription: A full transcript is generated with speaker identification.
  • AI Analysis: Spotlight summaries, call dynamics, coaching insights, and psychology analysis are generated automatically.

The call appears in your Calls page with the source "Google Meet Bot" once processing completes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install a Chrome Extension?
No! Callbricks uses server-side meeting bots that automatically join your Google Meet calls. There is no software to install.
Do I need a Google Workspace account?
No. The bot works with any Google Meet call, including free personal accounts. It joins as an automated participant, so no admin permissions or Workspace features are required.
Does this replace the Google Meet Drive integration?
They serve different purposes. The Drive integration imports recordings made by Google Meet's built-in recording feature (which requires Workspace). The Callbricks Bot lets you record without relying on Google's built-in tools.
Does each recording count against billing limits?
Recorded calls count against your workspace processing allowance and active plan. Free workspaces have stricter limits, while paid plans support more usage and features.
How do I let the bot into the meeting?
The bot will attempt to join the meeting automatically. If your Google Meet settings require participants to be admitted, the host will see a prompt to admit the "Callbricks Notetaker". Simply admit the bot to begin recording.
