How can remote teammates who missed a meeting catch up?

The person who recorded the meeting in Wave shares its AI summary and transcript by link or email invite, or posts the recap to a Slack channel through Wave for Slack. Teammates read the summary and transcript on their own schedule.

Does Wave work with every video conferencing tool?

Yes. The Wave desktop app for Mac and Windows records any call your computer plays, including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack huddles, without joining it. Wave's calendar bot supports scheduled Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meetings.

Can Wave handle meetings in more than one language?

Yes. Wave transcribes meetings in 76 languages with speaker labels and can translate a transcript into another language, so teammates can read meetings held in a language they don't speak.

Do teammates see each other's Wave recordings automatically?

No. On Wave Teams, every person has a private account and nothing is shared automatically. Each person shares individual meetings, and team admins see usage and seats, never recordings.

Is remote team meeting data secure in Wave?

Wave is SOC 2 Type 1 compliant for the Security criteria. Recordings, transcripts, and summaries are encrypted in transit and at rest, are never used to train AI models, and belong to the person who recorded them.

AI Meeting Notes Built for Remote Teams

Last updated: November 3, 2026

Wave AI writes AI meeting notes for remote teams: the Wave desktop app records Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls without a bot, and each meeting gets a transcript and summary teammates in other timezones can read later. It works on Mac, Windows, the web, iPhone, and Android, in 76 languages, and is free for 30 minutes a month.

How remote teams use Wave

How do remote teams get AI meeting notes?

Someone on the call records it with the Wave desktop app for Mac or Windows, the Wave Chrome extension, or a Wave bot that joins from the calendar. Wave transcribes the meeting with speaker labels, writes a summary with decisions and action items, and the recorder shares it with teammates who weren't there.

Record from your desktop: the Wave desktop app captures your mic and system audio, with nothing added to the call.
Or automate it: connect a Google or Outlook calendar and a Wave bot joins scheduled Zoom, Meet, and Teams calls.
Share it: send a share link, invite teammates by email, or post the recap to a Slack channel with Wave for Slack.
Catch up later: teammates read the summary and transcript on their own schedule.

Desktop app or meeting bot?

The desktop app records from your side, so no bot appears in the participant list and it works on any call platform. The calendar bot joins scheduled Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meetings even when you aren't at your computer. Many teams use both.

How does Wave work for a whole team?

Wave Teams gives a company one bill and a team console to invite people by email and manage seats, starting at $7.50 per user per month with a 5-user minimum. Every person keeps a private Wave account. Nothing is shared automatically; people share the meetings they choose, and admins see usage, never recordings.

The problems you know too well

Timezones Mean Someone Always Misses the Meeting

Across continents, not everyone can attend live. A summary and transcript let them catch up without a second meeting.

Decisions Drift Without a Shared Record

Remote teams lose alignment when the only record is someone's memory. A searchable transcript settles what was decided.

Nobody Wants to Write the Notes

Someone has to write and post notes after every call. Wave writes them, and Wave for Slack can post them to a channel.
