Hi! My name is Rodion, and I'm part of the mymeet.ai team. In this guide, I'll show you how to quickly install and start using our Chrome extension for recording Google Meet sessions. The extension is a simple tool that transforms any meeting into a structured report with just a few clicks.
The mymeet.ai Chrome extension solves the main task — it enables you to record meetings invisibly to other participants. You control the recording process, see what's happening, and get the same quality analysis as when using mymeet.ai bots. After installation, the entire process takes less than a minute per meeting.
Installing the mymeet.ai Chrome Extension
The extension installation process is standard for all Chrome extensions and takes no more than two minutes. The extension works in all Chromium-based browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Yandex Browser, and others.
Step 1: Go to Chrome Web Store
Open Chrome Web Store and search for "mymeet.ai: AI assistant for online meetings" or follow the direct link.
Step 2: Install the Extension
Click the "Install" button in Chrome Web Store. The browser will show a popup requesting permissions — the extension needs access to data on meet.google.com to record meetings. Click "Add extension" to confirm.
After successful installation, you'll see an "Extension added" notification in the top right corner of the browser, and the mymeet.ai icon will appear in the extensions panel.
Step 3: Pin the Extension
For convenient access, we recommend pinning the extension to the toolbar:
Click the puzzle icon in the top right corner of the browser
Find mymeet.ai in the extensions list
Click the pin icon next to the name
Now the mymeet.ai icon will always be visible in the toolbar for quick access.
Setting Up the Extension for Meeting Recording
After installing the extension, you need to link it to your mymeet.ai account. This step ensures the widget works correctly and provides access to all service features. If you don't have an account yet, you can register directly through the extension and get 180 free minutes for testing.
Authorization in the Extension
Click the mymeet.ai icon in the browser toolbar. The extension window will open with a prompt to log into your mymeet.ai account. On the opened page, enter the email and password for your mymeet.ai account or click "Register" if you don't have an account yet.
This completes the setup — the extension is ready to use.
Checking Browser Permissions
For correct audio recording, the extension requires microphone access. Most browsers automatically request permissions on first use, but we recommend checking settings in advance:
Open browser settings (three dots → Settings)
Go to "Privacy and security" section
Select "Site settings" → "Microphone"
Make sure microphone access is allowed
Important: If meet.google.com is in the blocked sites list, be sure to allow microphone access for this domain. Without this, the extension won't be able to record meeting audio.
How to Record Meetings Through the Chrome Extension
Recording through the Chrome extension gives you full control over the process — you decide when to start and stop recording, see everything happening on screen, and get the audio file saved to your computer. This approach is ideal for confidential or important meetings where it's crucial to capture everything without failures.
Starting Meeting Recording
Join a Google Meet session as usual
Click the mymeet.ai icon in the browser toolbar
In the extension window, click "Start Recording"
A recording indicator will appear on screen — you'll see that the meeting is being recorded
Recording starts immediately and continues until you stop it or leave the meeting.
Controlling the Recording Process
During recording, you have full control over the process:
See the active recording indicator on screen
Can stop recording at any moment
Recording automatically stops when leaving the meeting
All this happens locally in your browser, so other meeting participants don't see any signs of recording.
Completing Recording and Saving
When you stop recording or leave the meeting, the following happens:
The standard browser file save dialog appears
Choose a folder on your computer to save the audio file
Click "Save" — the recording file will be saved to your computer
Simultaneously, the recording is automatically sent for processing to mymeet.ai
The recording file remains on your computer forever, while mymeet.ai begins creating the transcript and AI report. If internet connection is lost during saving, the file will still be saved locally, and processing upload will resume when connection is restored.
Accessing Processed Recordings
All recordings made through the extension are saved in your mymeet.ai personal dashboard along with bot recordings and uploaded files:
Open mymeet.ai in your browser
Log into your account
On the main page, you'll see a list of all processed meetings
Click on the desired meeting to view transcript, AI report, and work with AI chat
Each recording contains a full transcript, specialized AI report (if selected), and access to AI chat for additional questions.
mymeet.ai Chrome Extension Pricing and Limitations
Extension pricing is integrated into the overall mymeet.ai pricing system. Depending on your plan, different limitations apply to extension usage.
Plan | Extension Minutes | AI Chat | Additional Features |
Free | 180 minutes (deducted) | 10 requests | Basic functionality |
Lite | From monthly package | 10 requests | Standard AI reports |
Pro | Unlimited | Unlimited | Transcript cleanup, all reports |
Ultra | Unlimited | Unlimited | Maximum functionality |
Pricing Features
On Free and Lite plans, extension recordings deduct minutes from your monthly package just like file uploads or bot usage. This means an hour-long recording "costs" 60 minutes from your limit.
On Pro and Ultra plans, extension usage is unlimited — you can record meetings of any length without deducting minutes. This is especially beneficial for teams that conduct many meetings and want to record them regularly.
Plan Management
You can change your plan anytime through your mymeet.ai personal dashboard:
Open the "Plans" section in your personal dashboard
Choose a suitable plan from available options
Make payment — changes take effect immediately
When upgrading to a higher plan, additional features become available immediately. When downgrading, limitations apply from the beginning of the next billing period.
Tips for Effective Extension Use
To get maximum benefit from the mymeet.ai Chrome extension, we recommend following a few simple rules. These tips are based on our users' experience and help avoid common problems.
Recording Quality
For the best transcription results, use a quality microphone, conduct meetings in quiet rooms without echo, ask participants to speak clearly, and avoid background noise. Original recording quality directly affects transcription accuracy, which can reach 98% under optimal conditions.
Choosing AI Report Type
When uploading recordings in your personal dashboard, choose the appropriate report type from 11 available options:
Regular meeting — universal option for standard calls
Client meeting — for client negotiations
HR interview — for candidate interviews
Sales coach — for analyzing sales conversations
Meeting protocol — for formal meetings with clear agenda
Research — for user interviews and focus groups
Team sync — for team synchronization
Article — for creating content from interviews
One-on-one — for personal meetings
Medicine — for medical consultations
Notes — for lectures and educational content
Choosing the right report type ensures the most relevant analysis of meeting content.
Organizing Recordings
For convenient work with your meeting archive, use clear names for recordings, add tags in titles for grouping, and regularly export important reports to corporate systems. A systematic approach to data organization helps quickly find needed information even months after the meeting.
Combining with Other Tools
The Chrome extension perfectly complements other mymeet.ai capabilities. Use bots for automatic recording of routine meetings, apply the extension for important negotiations, use the Telegram bot for quick processing of audio notes and quick bot invitations to meetings, and use the API for integration with corporate systems. This combined approach ensures maximum flexibility in working with meeting information.
Common Problems with the Chrome Extension
Most extension problems are solved in a few minutes with simple actions. We've collected the most frequent situations and effective solutions based on thousands of users' experience.
Recording Start Issues
Sometimes the extension may not respond to the start recording command or record an "empty" file. This is one of the most common problems, usually related to account settings or browser state.
Problem: Extension doesn't start meeting recording or records a file with no content.
Solution: Check the following in order:
Is your email displayed in the extension interface?
Do you have available minutes for recording on your plan?
Has the Google Meet page fully loaded before starting recording?
Is the meeting tab minimized during recording?
If all checks pass, refresh the meeting page, log back into your account through the extension, or restart the browser.
This problem often occurs when working with multiple Meet tabs simultaneously or with unstable internet connection.
Audio Quality Issues
Missing audio in recordings or poor quality can ruin an entire meeting. Audio problems usually arise from conflicts with other applications or incorrect browser settings.
Problem: The recorded file has no audio or it's very quiet and distorted.
Solution: Check audio settings and resolve conflicts:
Is the microphone enabled in Google Meet settings?
Is microphone access allowed for meet.google.com in the browser?
Close video communication programs (Zoom, Skype, Teams)
Temporarily disable antivirus
To prevent such problems, we recommend checking audio settings before important meetings and using quality headsets.
File Saving Issues
When the recording file isn't saved to your computer, all work can be lost. This problem is most often related to browser security settings or insufficient disk space.
Problem: After recording ends, the file save dialog doesn't appear or the file doesn't download.
Solution: Check browser and system settings:
Are popup windows blocked in browser settings?
Is there enough free disk space to save the file?
Try changing the default downloads folder in settings
Temporarily disable antivirus that might block downloads
Make sure the extension has all necessary permissions
In critical situations, the recording file is still processed on mymeet.ai servers, so you can get the transcript through your personal dashboard even if local saving fails.
