Answer: three ways to transcribe Google Meet
The short answer: to transcribe a Google Meet, use MeetingJuice in one of three ways — the Chrome extension (captures from your browser while you attend), the bot (joins and records for you), or the Workspace add-on (control capture from inside Meet). All three produce the same searchable transcript plus an AI summary, and none require recording audio.
Method 1 — Chrome extension (you’re in the call)
- 1Install the MeetingJuice Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store.
- 2Join your Google Meet as usual and pin the side panel.
- 3The extension transcribes live from Meet’s captions — no bot joins the call.
- 4When the call ends, your transcript and AI summary appear in your dashboard.
Method 2 — Send the bot (even if you skip)
- 1Invite bot@meetingjuice.com to the Google Meet calendar event (or send the bot from the add-on).
- 2The MeetingJuice bot joins as a participant and records for you.
- 3You don’t have to attend — the transcript and summary land in your dashboard automatically.
Method 3 — Workspace add-on
- 1Install MeetingJuice from the Google Workspace Marketplace (for you or your whole org).
- 2Open the MeetingJuice panel inside Meet.
- 3Start capture from the side panel — control everything without leaving the call.

Yes. MeetingJuice’s free plan transcribes up to 10 meetings per month (up to 5 via the bot) with no credit card. Google Meet also has built-in captions, but they aren’t saved as a searchable transcript by default.
