Record Google Meet

Nothing joins your Meet call. Banter records from your side of the browser: your mic on one channel, shared audio (everyone else) on the other, so the transcript still knows who said what.

With the extension (recommended)

1. Install the Chrome extension and keep Banter open in another tab. The extension has no account of its own — it works with the Banter tab you’re already signed in to.
2. In the Meet tab, click Record with Banter next to the call controls (or click the extension icon and choose Record this tab). If the button says Open Banter to set up, open app.usebanter.ai first.
3. By default the recording becomes a new note in Unfiled. The arrow next to the button lets you send it to the note open in Banter or to a folder instead; Settings → Connections → Chrome extension sets the default.
4. Click Stop when you’re done, or just leave the call — Banter shows a 60-second countdown, then saves the recording on its own.

The extension hands the meeting audio to your Banter tab, which records it alongside your mic. It also reads the participant list from Meet itself, so speaker labels get real names instead of “Speaker 2”.

Without the extension

The web app alone can do it:

1. Open your note and click Record audio in the editor toolbar → System audio + microphone.
2. In the browser’s share picker, choose Entire screen and turn on Share system audio.
3. Click Stop in the recording status at the top of the timeline, or the toolbar’s Stop recording button, when you’re done.

If system audio is unavailable, you can select the meeting tab with tab audio enabled in the same picker, or use the Chrome extension to record the tab directly.

From your calendar

No need to prepare a note before the call. The extension quietly notes the Google Calendar or Outlook events whose details you open (it adds nothing to the calendar page), and with Calendar details on (Settings → Connections → Chrome extension; on by default) a recording that creates a new note picks up the matching event’s title, guests, and description on its own. To pick a different event, or leave the details out for one recording, open the arrow next to Record with Banter and use Calendar details; an event appears there once you’ve opened its details in your calendar within the last day. Recording into the current note leaves that note’s content as it is.

During and after the call

• Keep taking notes during the call. The transcript, speaker labels, timestamps, and summary appear after you stop recording — see Transcripts and speaker labels.
• Press Cmd+Shift+S to attach a screenshot of the shared screen at that moment — it’s cropped to the shared content automatically.
• Once the transcript and summary are ready, ask the assistant for the follow-up: see Prompts that work.

A note on recording etiquette

Bot-free doesn’t mean secret. Tell people you’re capturing notes, and follow your local recording-consent rules — see Privacy and recording.
