Google’s support page for the feature notes that, “If a user who is not in person wants to join the meeting, you can transition the meeting to a normal video call.” The feature also works for impromptu meetings — Google says you “don’t need to be in a meeting room” or in a previously-scheduled meeting to use it.Image: GoogleUsers can go to the Google Meet home screen in the mobile app or on desktop and select “take notes for me” to start recording, regardless of whether the meeting is in-person or taking place on a platform other than Google Meet. Gemini will then create a summary and “action items” from the meeting in a Google Doc, which will appear in Google Drive for the user who started the recording.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Stevie Bonifield
