There are many reasons why you might prefer using a bot to record your meeting, instead of background capture. Not only they join at the scheduled time and leave when the meeting ends, minimizing user error, but in some cases it can be better for compliance, as some companies require visible indicators that a meeting is being recorded. Bots can also be great for long sessions or when your computer might sleep/crash.
This is how you invite a bot to record your meetings in Bluedot:
Step 1: Connect Google Calendar
Go to the Bluedot dashboard.
Navigate to Automation → Integrations.
Connect your Google Calendar. (Outlook Calendar integration is coming up soon.)
This is crucial: it allows Bluedot to detect which meetings the bot should join.
Click Continue and wait for the connection to complete.
Step 2: Enable the Meeting Bot
Return to Automation.
Click on Meeting Bot.
You’ll see a list of your upcoming meetings.
You can either:
Manually select which meetings the bot should join.
Or toggle on “Record all your meetings”, so the bot joins every future event automatically.
How the Bot Works
The bot joins a few minutes before the scheduled start time.
It leaves when the meeting ends or when all participants exit.
It shows up as “Your name’s AI NoteTaker”—you’ll need to click Admit when prompted.
For Ad Hoc Meetings (Instant Recording)
Click on the Bluedot Chrome extension.
Select “Record with bot”.
Hit “Start capture.”
After a few seconds, the bot will appear in your meeting—just admit it when prompted.
That's it! Thank you for using Bluedot. 🔵
