Recording and Automatically Importing Your Meetings with Google Meet

Updated over a week ago

1. How does the Modjo x Google Meet integration work?

Modjo records your video conferences on Google Meet and Microsoft Teams using a bot, the Modjo Recorder, which automatically joins your meetings. This bot participates in the meetings as a participant, capturing both audio and video, and then imports the recording into Modjo in less than 5 minutes after the session ends.

Meetings or video conferences are automatically detected in the calendar of users who have a recording license.

For more details on the setup and features of the Modjo Recorder, check out the articles dedicated to the Microsoft Teams integration and the Modjo Recorder.

2. How to activate Modjo x Google Meet?

A. Activating Google Meet recording in Modjo (admin part)

💡 If you were using the previous version of the Modjo x Google Meet integration and want to switch to the new Google Meet integration, simply follow the steps outlined below. The old integration will be automatically disconnected.

To activate Google Meet recording in Modjo:

  • Go to Settings and then Integrations in Modjo.

  • Locate Google Meet (Recommended) and click Connect.

  • Select the option Enable Google Meet Recording via the Bot.

B. Allow the recorder to join your Google Meet meetings (admin part)

Special case: The Modjo Recorder, as an external participant without a Google account, may be blocked by the settings of some organizations on Google Meet. To resolve this, adjust the settings to allow access to meetings.

To configure its access to meetings:

  • Access this link, available only to administrators.

  • Select the option "All users can join Google Meet meetings."

By following these steps, you ensure that the Modjo Recorder can join your Google Meet meetings without restriction.

C. Grant calendar access (user part)

Once users are connected to Modjo, they must authorize access to their calendar. Modjo then integrates with Google Calendar or Outlook, displaying upcoming meetings and offering quick access to past meeting information.

Follow the steps described in this article to connect your calendar.

💡 To check which users have granted calendar access, go to the "Integrations" section and select the Google Meet integration. If a user's name is accompanied by the calendar logo, it indicates they are connected. Otherwise, you can ask them to connect by going to Settings > Profile > Connect Google.

D. Test a call with the Modjo Recorder

To ensure that the Modjo Recorder works correctly during your video conferences, follow the detailed instructions in this article.

This will ensure that your calls are properly recorded and imported into Modjo.

3. FAQ

What permissions are required from users?

The user must grant two permissions to Modjo to connect their calendar to Google:

  1. Permission to view the primary email address associated with your Google account: (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email)

  2. Permission to view events on all your calendars: (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.readonly)

Refer to the OAuth permissions list for Google Calendar for more information.
