How do I automatically record every Zoom and Teams meeting?
Short answer
Pick one of two settings. Without a bot: in the Acta desktop app, turn on Record detected meetings automatically, and Acta records Zoom and Teams app meetings on your computer as soon as they start. With the notetaker: turn on Auto-join scheduled meetings and Acta joins the meetings on your Google or Microsoft calendar.

Install the desktop app

Good to know
The Auto-join switch is greyed out
Auto-join needs your calendar, so it's available when you sign in to Acta with Google or Microsoft.
Does it work for meetings in the browser?
The desktop app notices meetings in the Zoom and Teams apps. For meetings in Chrome, use the Chrome extension or the notetaker.
Is Acta free to try?
Yes. Acta is free for 15 days, with unlimited recordings and transcriptions.
