How to transcribe a Google Meet recording
Save your Google Meet recording from Drive, upload it to NoteScribe, and get structured decisions and action items — not just a transcript, and with no bot.
Google Meet saves meeting recordings to Google Drive (on eligible Workspace plans). The recording is a useful archive, but the value is in the decisions and action items inside it — which a raw recording leaves you to dig out by hand.
NoteScribe extracts them for you, without connecting to your Google account. You download the recording from Drive and upload it; NoteScribe transcribes it and returns structured outcomes. No bot joined the call, and there is no integration to authorize.
Step by step
- 1
Open the recording in Google Drive
Google Meet saves recordings to the "Meet Recordings" folder in the organizer’s Google Drive. Open it there.
- 2
Download the recording
Download the MP4 file to your device. NoteScribe extracts the audio for transcription automatically.
- 3
Upload it to NoteScribe
Start a new upload in NoteScribe and choose the file. No Google account connection or permissions are needed.

Get decisions and action items
Receive a speaker-labeled transcript plus structured decisions, action items, and open questions to export or search.
Tips
- Only some Google Workspace plans can record Meet calls — if you cannot record, capture the meeting on another device and upload that file.
- You do not need to convert the file; common audio and video formats upload directly.
- The same steps work for any recording, so you can standardize on one post-meeting workflow across tools.
Frequently asked questions
Does NoteScribe integrate with Google Meet or Google Drive?▾
No. NoteScribe does not connect to Google Meet or Drive and never joins your calls. You download the recording from Drive yourself and upload the file, keeping your Google account private.
Can I transcribe a Google Meet recording without a plugin or bot?▾
Yes. There is no plugin and no bot. The entire process is post-meeting: upload the recording you already have, and NoteScribe transcribes it and extracts structured outcomes.
What if my plan can’t record Google Meet calls?▾
Record the meeting on any device — a phone works well — and upload that file instead. NoteScribe does not depend on Google Meet’s recording feature, so the workflow is the same.
