Google’s AI meeting notetaker is no longer limited to Google Meets — Gemini can also generate summaries and transcripts of in-person meetings now, as well as meetings on Zoom and Microsoft Teams, as first reported by 9to5Google.

Support for in-person meetings was previously limited to alpha users and only available on Android. 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.

Users 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.
