Record a meeting: bot, upload or microphone
Pick whichever way fits: the bot for live calls, an upload for something you already recorded, or your microphone for in-person conversations.

Send the bot to a meeting
- Click New meeting and go to Join a meeting.
- Paste the meeting link. Jevu accepts Google Meet links (meet.google.com/…) and Zoom links (zoom.us/j/…). For Zoom, paste the whole “Join Zoom Meeting” link with the password still in it (…?pwd=…).
- Enter the Contact email: the person the meeting is with. It’s required, and it’s the contact the summary and action items go to when you push the meeting to your CRM. The Meeting title is optional.
- Click Send the bot, then admit it from the meeting’s waiting room.
The bot appears in the call as Jevu.ai Notetaker (Your Name). When it joins, it posts a message in the meeting chat saying the meeting is being recorded, with a link to our Privacy Policy. In Google Meet the message is pinned.
You’re responsible for telling other participants that the meeting is recorded, and for getting their consent where the law requires it. The chat message helps, but it may not be enough on its own.
While the bot is in the meeting
- The bot waits up to 15 minutes in the waiting room, and up to 10 minutes for the host to start the meeting.
- To end the recording early, click Stop on the meeting in Meetings or on the meeting page, and confirm. Everything recorded so far is kept and processed.
- The bot leaves on its own after 3 hours.
Zoom meetings need a connected Zoom account, and you have to be in the meeting yourself. Connect Zoom →
Upload a recording
- Click New meeting and go to Upload a recording.
- Drop the file onto the card, or click Choose from your computer.
- Fill in Contact email on the same screen: uploads need it too. Add a Meeting title if you like.
- Click Process.
You can upload audio or video up to 1 GB: MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV, M4V, WEBM, MKV, OGG, OPUS, FLAC or AAC.
Record from your microphone
For an in-person conversation, or a call in an app the bot can’t join, use Record in the sidebar. This feature is in beta.
- Click Record in the sidebar.
- Optionally, enter a Meeting title and Contact email.
- Click the microphone button and allow microphone access in your browser.
- Click it again to stop. The transcript is generated after you stop.
Jevu records only what your microphone hears, so other people on a call in your headphones won’t be captured. One recording can last up to 120 minutes, and you can run two at the same time.
After the meeting
Each meeting shows its progress in Meetings: Waiting to be processed, Transcribing, Summarizing, then Ready. If you turned on auto-push to Snov.io, Syncing to Snov comes before Ready.
- Jevu detects the spoken language on its own, even when different people speak different languages.
- The summary is written in the language most of the meeting was in.
- Every meeting uses minutes from your allowance. If none are left, Jevu tells you instead of starting a recording.
