The Take Notes feature<\/a> is now rolling out in Google Meet, giving users a new way to capture what happens during in-person meetings without manually writing everything down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The update addresses a familiar workplace challenge. When discussions move quickly, participants often have to choose between staying fully engaged and keeping detailed notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Google’s latest addition, that trade-off is becoming easier to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New Role for Google Meet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Meet has traditionally focused on virtual meetings. Now, Google is extending its capabilities to face-to-face collaboration as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Take Notes feature uses Gemini to capture audio from an in-person meeting and turn the discussion into organised documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, participants can focus on the conversation while Gemini handles the note-taking in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the Take Notes Feature Works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting started is straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start the Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can open Google Meet on the web or mobile and select the “Take Notes” button from the home screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once started, audio capture begins immediately. Gemini then captures information from the in-person meeting and works on generating the notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review the Meeting Afterwards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the meeting ends, users can select the button again to stop audio capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini<\/a> then processes the meeting and creates a structured summary. It also identifies action items and generates a complete transcript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resulting content is placed in a Google Doc and saved directly to Google Drive. Users also receive an email containing the link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, meeting participants can access the record afterwards without having to manually type up everything discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Separate Admin Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For administrators, the rollout uses existing Google Meet notes settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means organisations do not need a separate setup process specifically for the new capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For users who want additional information, Google points to its Help Center for further details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rollout Begins Across Platforms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rollout covers both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. However, availability depends on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
