What happens next? Once connected, your calendar meetings will appear in Marloo, and you can choose to have Marloo automatically join and transcribe your client meetings.

Configuring Auto-Join Settings

Set up Marloo to automatically join your virtual meetings

Understanding auto-join

Auto-join means Marloo will automatically attend your scheduled virtual meetings to record and transcribe them, without you having to add it manually each time.

Choose your preference:

Option 1: Yes, auto-join my meetings

  • Marloo will automatically join your virtual meetings

  • Set and forget - no need to add Marloo case-by-case

  • You retain complete control - always admit Marloo manually and can remove it anytime

  • Marloo joins the waiting room first, so you decide when it enters

Option 2: No thanks, I'll add Marloo manually

  • You'll add Marloo to meetings on a case-by-case basis

  • More control over which meetings get recorded

  • Good option if you only want to record specific meeting types

Important notes:

  • You always have control: Even with auto-join enabled, you must manually admit Marloo to each meeting

  • Waiting room behavior: Marloo always joins the waiting room first

  • You can change this setting anytime in Settings > Meetings

Best practice tip: Most advisers find auto-join saves significant time, especially for busy meeting schedules.
