Record and transcribe Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams. No bot in the call.
To record a Google Meet, Zoom web, or Teams web call, open it in Chrome and click the Wisprs ghost. The extension captures the tab audio (and your mic if you allow it) and turns the call into an AI transcript with a summary, chapters, and action items, without a bot ever joining the meeting.
How it works
Open your meeting
Join Google Meet, Zoom (web), or Microsoft Teams (web) in Chrome, then click the Wisprs ghost in your toolbar.
Start recording
Wisprs captures the tab audio plus your microphone if you allow it, and uploads as you talk. Flaky Wi-Fi is fine: audio is buffered locally and retried.
Get your transcript
Stop when the call ends. Your AI transcript, summary, chapters, and action items land in your Wisprs account, filed under Meetings.
Tab capture vs. native transcription vs. meeting bots
Native transcription needs the right plan and host settings. Bot note takers like Otter or Fireflies join your call as a visible participant. Wisprs records the tab you are already looking at.

Meeting sites

Frequently asked questions
How do I record a Google Meet call without being the host?
Install the Wisprs Chrome extension, open the Meet tab, and click Start recording. Wisprs captures the audio of the tab you are viewing, so you do not need host controls, a workspace admin, or a paid Google plan. Always let participants know the call is being recorded.
Does a bot join my meeting?
No. Wisprs records the audio of your browser tab directly. Nothing appears in the participant list, no third party joins the call, and there is nothing for the host to admit or remove.
Does it work with Zoom and Microsoft Teams?
Yes, with their web clients: Zoom in the browser (zoom.us or zoom.com) and Teams at teams.microsoft.com. Desktop apps cannot be captured by a browser extension; join from Chrome when you want a transcript. Any other browser tab with audio works too.
Is the Wisprs extension free?
Yes. Installing the extension and starting out is free with no credit card. Recording time counts toward the free transcription minutes on your Wisprs account, and paid plans raise the limits.
Do meeting participants have to consent to recording?
Laws in many regions require every participant to consent to being recorded. The extension asks you to confirm that everyone on the call knows before your first recording, and the same responsibility applies to every recording after that.
What happens if my connection drops mid-meeting?
Audio is stored locally in five-second chunks and uploaded with retries, so a dropped connection does not lose the recording. If an upload cannot complete, you can still finalize with everything that reached Wisprs.
