Maximize Your Google AI Pro License in Meet

Need a quick update? Ask Gemini to summarize ongoing discussions or provide a recap of what someone said. It can help improve meeting outcomes by identifying key takeaways, decisions, and action items, and lets you quickly catch up on what you missed if you joined late.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Join your Google Meet call.
2. Click the Ask Geminiicon in the lower left corner of the Meet Screen.
   • 
3. Click the default "Summarize the discussion so far" button to instantly generate a recap of recent discussions, or type a custom question into the prompt box.
4. Review the generated response in the side panel to review key takeaways, decisions, or missed details.

Automatically capture summaries, decisions, and tasks. You can even use this feature to capture notes for in-person meetings. When notes are taken, Gemini can now automatically capture visual screenshots of presented content (like slides or charts) directly into the notes document (presenters receive a notification and can disable this from the notes panel).

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Join the meeting on a laptop or room device.
2. Click the Gemini AI note-taking feature icon (pencil with sparkle) in the top-right meeting header.
   • 
3. Select "Start taking notes"
4. Conduct the meeting while Gemini automatically captures summaries, decisions, and tasks in the background.
5. For Presenters: When presenting slides or charts, Gemini automatically embeds visual screenshots into the notes. To disable this during a presentation, open the Notes side panel and toggle off Capture visuals from presentation.

Gemini meeting notes are deeply integrated with Google Workspace. Generated notes are automatically saved to your Google Drive and attached directly to the Google Calendar invite for easy access by internal attendees.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. End the meeting. Gemini will automatically compile and format the document.
2. Access the notes by opening the meeting event in Google Calendar and clicking the attached Google Doc, or navigate to Google Drive > Google Meet > Your Meeting.
3. To Share with External Guests: Open the generated document in Google Drive, click Share, and explicitly grant view/edit access to external email addresses.

When presenting Google Slides in Meet, Gemini intelligently detects trigger phrases in the chat or audio—like "Can you please add me as a co-presenter?" or "Next slide please." It then suggests adding that participant as a co-presenter in the Ask Gemini panel, allowing you to grant them control with one click.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Present a Google Slides deck directly within Google Meet.
2. When a participant uses a trigger phrase in chat or voice (e.g., "Can you add me as a co-presenter?"), Gemini will generate an automated prompt.
3. Click Add as co-presenter directly on the pop-up notification banner on screen or within the Ask Gemini side panel.
4. The participant will instantly gain slide control access.

1. Join the meeting from individual laptops inside the same physical room.
2. Accept the automatic Adaptive Audio detected prompt that appears on screen upon joining.
3. Alternatively, manually enable it by navigating to More Options (three dots) > Settings > Audio and turning on Adaptive Audio.
