Where can I find my meeting recordings?

All recordings and transcripts are available in your ScreenApp account under My Recordings.

Is the Meeting Bot secure?

Yes, ScreenApp’s Meeting Bot only joins meetings you authorize and uploads recordings securely to your account.

It seems the Meeting Bot does not join our meetings

Meeting Bot can only join meetings which are open to join for anyone with a meeting URL. We recommend that you double check your meeting link does not require participants to Sign In. A Sign In requirement would prevent the Meeting Bot to join the meeting.

My Meeting Bot left in the middle of the meeting

Sometimes Google Meet may remove the meeting bot from the meeting. If this happens, you can always send a new Meeting Bot to join your meeting using the My Meetings page.
