Guide steps

  1. 01

    Install extension

    • Click the puzzle icon in the top right corner of the browser and pin YOTEXT so its icon is always visible.

  2. 02

    Sign in to YOTEXT

    • Click the YOTEXT icon to open the panel on the right side of the browser, then choose Sign in with Google.
    • Use the same Google account you use on yotext.app. The first time you sign in, accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
  3. 03

    Start recording in Google Meet

    • Open Google Meet in your computer browser and join the meeting.
    • Start recording in any of these ways: press Ctrl+Shift+U (Cmd+Shift+U on Mac), right click on the Meet page and choose Start YOTEXT recording in this tab, or open the YOTEXT panel and press Start recording.
    • If Chrome shows a tab picker, choose the meeting tab and make sure tab audio sharing is turned on.
    • Let participants know the meeting is being recorded. The Copy the notice message button in the panel prepares a message you can paste into the meeting chat.
  4. 04

    During the meeting

    • The live transcript appears in the panel, with speaker names from Meet.
    • Press Pause for parts that should not be captured, then Resume to continue.
    • Choose the meeting language in the panel: automatic, Indonesian, English, or Mandarin.
    • Press Share live transcript if a teammate who is not in the meeting needs to follow along from a link.
  5. 05

    After the meeting

    • Press Finish in the panel. Recording also stops on its own when you leave the meeting or close the Meet tab.
    • YOTEXT turns the meeting audio into a more accurate transcript, a summary, decisions, and tasks per person. It usually takes just a few minutes.
    • Open yotext.app and pick the meeting under Meetings. You can also ask anything about it in Ask about this meeting.
  6. 06

    Share and follow up

    • Share the meeting results by link so the whole team reads the same summary.
    • Tasks from the meeting go to Tasks. Check off finished tasks so everyone sees the progress.

Common questions

Still stuck? Email support@yotext.app and we will help you directly.

Invitation email not arriving?+

Check your Spam or Promotions folder. If it is there, mark it as Not spam so future YOTEXT emails land in your inbox.

Cannot see the YOTEXT icon?+

Click the puzzle icon in the browser toolbar, then click the pin icon next to YOTEXT.

Ctrl+Shift+U shortcut not working?+

Another extension may already use that shortcut. Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts to change it, or right click on the Meet page instead.

Recording empty or silent?+

Usually tab audio sharing was off when the tab was picked. Stop the session, start again, and make sure the meeting tab is selected with its audio shared.

Can I use it on my phone?+

You can open meeting results on your phone at yotext.app. To record, use Chrome or Edge on a computer.

Have an existing audio recording?+

Upload it from the app home page. Supported formats: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, and FLAC.

Meeting on Zoom or Microsoft Teams?+

The YOTEXT extension can also record Zoom and Microsoft Teams opened in the browser. It works the same way, starting from that meeting tab.
