• For unscheduled meetings, click Start Recording in the extension, the Assistant will join within seconds and start recording.
  
  

Avoma extension will show you information based on the current state of recording. Following states are shown by extension as per the current state of the ongoing meeting

• Recording in progress - The Avoma Assistant has successfully joined the meeting and is now recording. At this point, the extension provides options for you to pause or stop the recording as needed.
  
  
  
  
• Recording Paused - Once recording is paused , the extension provides options for you to either resume or stop the recording as needed.
  
  
  
  
• Waiting for recording to start - This message indicates that the meeting has been started prior to its scheduled time. This functionality enables users to begin recording early, ensuring that no crucial conversations are overlooked before the meeting officially commences.
  
  
  
  
• Pending host permission - The Avoma Assistant is currently waiting for the host's permission to join the meeting. Users who do not have the necessary permissions to admit the Avoma Assistant will see this status. In such cases, participants should reach out to the host to grant access for the assistant to join the meeting and start recording.
  
  
  
  

• Saving recording information - The Avoma Assistant has successfully completed the recording of this meeting and is currently uploading the data for processing. At this stage, no further action is needed from you, and you are welcome to exit the meeting.
  
  
• For unplanned meetings (impromptu) that are not on your calendar and not synced with Avoma, users can still utilize the Avoma extension to record these sessions. Once you click the Start Recording button, the Avoma Assistant will join the meeting within seconds, and the recording will be automatically synced to Avoma at the conclusion of the meeting.
  
  Record this meeting
  
  
• For users who prefer to record using Google Meet's native recording feature, the Avoma extension will automatically initiate both recording and transcription if the meeting is on your calendar and configured for recording in Avoma’s settings. If a meeting is not scheduled on your calendar or is set to be excluded from recording, you can easily start the recording manually by clicking the "Start Recording Now" button.

2. Using Google Meet’s native recording

• If your meeting is scheduled and recording is enabled in Avoma settings, the extension will start native recording automatically.
  
  

If it’s not scheduled or configured, you can click Start Recording Now to begin recording manually.
