How to Take Notes for In-Person Meetings With Google Meet

Google Meet is now offering a Gemini-powered "Take notes for me" feature that can capture in-person conversations and turn them into a Google Doc with summaries and action items. This expansion goes beyond video calls, enabling the feature to document conversations hosted on Zoom or Teams as well. Users with access can start notes from the Meet home screen on both mobile and desktop devices.

The notes generated by Gemini include a summary of the discussion and any action items identified during the meeting. To use this feature, administrators must first enable it through their Google Workspace edition or Google AI plan, and ensure that the necessary consent is obtained from all participants. Google states that the notes follow the organization's Meet retention policy and are available in several languages, though the generated document will only reflect the discussion in one language at a time.

Google advises organizations to conduct thorough testing before deploying this feature organization-wide, as AI-generated meeting summaries may not always be accurate or complete.
