Which one should you pick?

Pick RecordMeeting if
  • You don't want a third-party bot named in the participant list of sensitive calls.
  • You record many ad-hoc meetings that aren't on the calendar.
  • You want recording to start instantly from inside the Meet UI rather than via a bot dispatch.
  • You prefer a Chrome-native experience over a server-side notetaker.
Pick Fireflies.ai if
  • You want a notetaker that automatically joins every scheduled call without anyone clicking record.
  • You rely heavily on Fireflies' search-across-all-meetings and conversation-intelligence features.

Frequently asked questions

Does RecordMeeting auto-join scheduled meetings?
RecordMeeting is designed to be triggered with one click from inside the meeting, not to auto-join via a bot. If your priority is unattended bot-based recording of every calendar event, Fireflies is built for that. If you'd rather not have a bot on the call, RecordMeeting is the better fit.

Will the other meeting participants see RecordMeeting recording?
Google Meet shows a standard recording indicator to all participants, as it does for any recording. There is no third-party bot in the participant list.

Is RecordMeeting GDPR-compliant?
Yes. RecordMeeting is GDPR-compliant and the underlying infrastructure is ISO 27001 certified. See recordmeeting.com/security for details.

Can I export my recordings from RecordMeeting?
Yes. Recordings can be exported as MP4 video, audio, or full transcript and shared via link.
