Avoma Chrome Extension for Google Meet

Easily record Google Meet calls using the Avoma Chrome Extension, whether it’s a scheduled meeting or an impromptu sync. The extension enables you to trigger the Avoma Assistant (Bot) or Google Meet’s native recording with just one click.

The Avoma extension can be found in the Chrome Web Store, allowing you to easily record your Google Meet meetings.

Prerequisites

Before using the extension:

Make sure your calendar is synced with Avoma.
For native Google Meet recording, ensure your Google account is integrated with Avoma.

What you can do with the Avoma Extension

The Avoma Chrome Extension gives you full control and flexibility while using Google Meet. Here’s what you can do:

Start recording any meeting instantly - Whether it’s scheduled or impromptu, launch the recording directly from your Google Meet tab.

Manually invite the Avoma Assistant - For meetings not on your calendar, you can still record by clicking “Start Recording.” The Avoma Assistant will join and begin recording in seconds.

Automatically trigger Google Meet’s native recording - If your Avoma settings and calendar are configured, the extension can automatically start native recording and transcription.

View live meeting status - See if the recording is active, paused, pending host permission, or in the process of being saved, right from the extension.

Pause, resume, or stop recordings anytime - Maintain full control of the recording flow without disrupting the meeting.

How to add the Avoma Chrome Extension for Google Meet

Follow these steps to add the Chrome Extension for Avoma Google Meet.

Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for Avoma Google Meet Extension or simply click here to install it directly.
Click Add to Chrome and follow the prompts to install it.
Once installed, pin the extension for easy access:

Click the puzzle icon in Chrome’s toolbar.
Pin the Avoma icon.

Once the extension is installed and calendar integration is complete, you can record Google Meet calls in two ways:

1. Recording via Google Meet’s cloud recording

When using Google Meet Cloud recording, Avoma does not join the meeting as a bot. Recording is managed directly in Google Meet.

Auto start for hosts
If the host joins and recording has not started, Avoma automatically starts the recording on their behalf.
Start recording when the host is not present
If the host is not in the meeting and recording has not started, the extension prompts you to start recording with one click.

If you do not have permission to start recording, Avoma shows a message asking you to notify the meeting host.

2. Recording via Avoma Assistant (Bot)

When Avoma Bot recording is enabled, the bot automatically joins the meeting at the scheduled start time and begins recording.

The Chrome extension shows the current recording status, such as waiting for permission or recording in progress.

Start recording early
If you join the meeting before the scheduled time, click Start recording now from the Avoma button to invite the bot and begin recording.
Invite the bot for impromptu meetings
If meeting was unscheduled, the bot is removed, denied entry, or times out, the extension gives you the option to click Start recording now to invite the bot and start recording.
Pause or resume recording
You can pause and resume the recording at any time using the controls in the extension.

Bot vs. Cloud Recording and what to expect

Avoma Bot Recording: Bot joins as a participant, announces recording via audio and chat, and provides real-time transcripts. Visible in the meeting.

Cloud Recording (Zoom/Webex): No bot participant is added, recording announcement is handled by the platform, and real-time transcript is not available yet.

How to kick out the bot from Google Meet recording

If you need to stop recording or remove the bot from a Google Meet:

Open the People panel in Google Meet.
Find Avoma in the participant list.
Click Remove to remove the bot from the meeting.

Once the bot is removed, recording will stop automatically.
