Google Meet can now take notes for your in-person meetings.

      Your next face-to-face meeting will now include an automatic scribe.

      We’ve all experienced it: sitting in a meeting, trying to engage and share thoughts while frantically taking notes to ensure important details aren’t overlooked. Fortunately, you no longer need to sacrifice one for the other.

      Google is introducing a new capability that allows Google Meet to handle note-taking not just for video calls, but also for in-person meetings. This feature was unveiled at Google’s Cloud Next 2026 event in Las Vegas and is now being rolled out to users.

      How does the Google Meet note-taking feature work?

      Starting a session is straightforward. Simply open Google Meet on your web browser or mobile device, then click the Take notes button on the home screen. After you press record, Gemini starts capturing everything discussed in the meeting room.

      When the meeting concludes, press the same button again to finish the recording. From there, Gemini compiles everything it captured into a concise summary, outlines the action items, and creates a complete transcript, all within a new Google Doc.

      The document is then saved to your Google Drive, and you will receive an email with the link to it, so you won’t have to search for it later.

      Who can access this feature?

      For admins, this feature is linked to your current Google Meet notes settings, so no additional setup is necessary. In terms of availability, Android users will start receiving it from August 11, while web users can expect it from August 14.

      iOS users will need to wait longer, with the rollout set to begin no earlier than August 31. Depending on your platform, you might already have access, or you may need to wait a few more weeks for the feature to appear.

      This feature is available to Business Standard and Plus, Enterprise Standard and Plus, Google AI Pro and Ultra consumer plans, as well as Frontline Plus users.

      The 10-by-10 macro pad transforms an empty grid into a customizable control panel.

      Keychron has created a 100-key macro pad for anyone who's ever wished that none of a keyboard's keys were assigned duties. The Keychron C100 8K, priced at $64.99, features a 10-by-10 grid with no letters, numbers, or commands predefined.

      Four corner keys are designated for lighting controls and cannot be remapped, resulting in 96 programmable slots. That’s almost the entirety of a full-size mechanical keyboard dedicated to shortcuts, though no one has yet determined their functions.
