Google Meet is expanding its Gemini-powered note-taking feature to support in-person meetings.
The "Take Notes" option summarizes key points, creates a transcript, and saves a document in a Google Drive folder shortly after a meeting ends. Until now, it has only worked for video calls on Google Meet. However, a new support page says that you can now use it for “impromptu and casual meetings that are in person. You don't need to be in a meeting room to use this feature.”
Just tap the Take Notes button as usual, and place the recording device closer to the people involved. Gemini will document the meeting and save a file in Drive.

The feature is currently Android-only, but support for iPhone, iPad, and the web will arrive soon, Google says. For now, it is limited to subscribers of Google Workspace’s Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, and Enterprise Plus plans. Since it’s still part of Google’s alpha program, your organization’s admin has to enable it for your account.
Take Notes in Google Meet supports English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, but it captures words in only one language at a time.
Google is also making Gemini’s note-taking ability available for Teams and Zoom meetings, 9to5Google reports. It recently added support for Meet on Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well, so you can attend scheduled meetings without having to take eyes off the road.
