Native Google Meet recording requires a paid Workspace edition, and only hosts (or users the host allows) can start it. If you're a guest, on a personal account, or on the free tier, the record button simply isn't there. Wave works regardless of who's hosting.
Even when native recording works, you get a video in Google Drive — not answers. Finding one decision means scrubbing through an hour of footage. Wave gives you a searchable transcript and an AI summary with decisions and action items.
The best recording setup is the one that's automatic. Connect your calendar and Wave's notetaker joins your scheduled Meets on its own — no remembering, no scrambling after the meeting starts.
Record Google Meet directly from your browser. Wave's Chrome extension captures the tab audio and your microphone with one click — no bot in the participant list, no host permission needed.
Connect your Google or Outlook calendar and Wave sends an AI notetaker to your meetings. It joins as a visible participant, records video and audio, and delivers the transcript and summary automatically.
Every Meet recording becomes a full transcript with automatic speaker identification — know exactly who said what, which Google's own captions don't preserve for you.
Key decisions, action items, and follow-ups extracted automatically after the meeting ends. Paste it into Slack, email, or your docs instead of writing notes from memory.
Wave Desktop captures your microphone and system audio together, so the same setup records Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, Slack huddles — anything playing on your computer.
All your Meet recordings live in one searchable place. Find any detail from any meeting by keyword — even months later.
