Can a Chrome extension record a meeting in the Zoom or Teams app?
Short answer
Yes. With the Acta Chrome extension, click the Acta icon on any tab that isn't a meeting and choose Record a Zoom or Teams app meeting, then Start recording, Entire screen, and switch on Also share system audio so other people's voices are recorded. To skip the share step, use the Acta desktop app instead.

Good to know
It says the meeting sound isn't shared
Keep the system or tab audio switch on when Chrome asks. Without the meeting sound Acta doesn't start, and says what to change.
Which is easier for app meetings?
The Acta desktop app: it notices Zoom and Teams meetings by itself and records without a share step.
