Overview

The CallBricks Google Meet Recorder uses a Chrome Extension to launch a Recall-powered meeting bot only when you click record. Once started, the "Callbricks Notetaker" requests access to your live Google Meet, records the session, and sends the recording back to CallBricks for transcription and analysis.

This is ideal for teams that use Google Meet but want a clean, permission-light setup. Callbricks does not need Google Calendar or Google Drive access to start the bot.

Extension Setup

  1. Install the extension: Add the Callbricks Google Meet Recorder to Chrome.
  2. Connect your workspace: Open the extension and sign in to Callbricks once.
  3. Join Google Meet: Open any live Meet room and click Record with Callbricks.

No Sensitive Google Scopes

The extension strategy avoids Google Calendar and Drive permissions. Your Google OAuth consent flow stays limited to identity scopes only.

Recording a Call

  1. Start your meeting: Join your Google Meet call as usual.
  2. Launch the bot: Click the extension button or the floating Callbricks control inside Google Meet.
  3. Admit the bot: The "Callbricks Notetaker" will request to join the session. The host must click "Admit" in Google Meet.
  4. Automatic recording: Once admitted, the bot records the meeting and Callbricks processes the call when the bot finishes.

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 extension sends your active Meet URL to Callbricks. Callbricks then creates a Recall AI meeting bot that joins as a regular attendee. When the call ends, 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 "Chrome Extension" once processing completes.

Yes. The Google Meet Recorder now uses a lightweight Chrome Extension so you can launch the Callbricks Notetaker exactly when you want it.
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?
Yes. The extension replaces the old calendar-driven Google Meet automation flow. Callbricks no longer needs Calendar or Drive scopes to start your meeting bot.
Does each recording count against billing limits?
Recorded calls count against your workspace processing allowance. Available capacity depends on how your workspace is configured.
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.
