Accessing your meetings dashboard

Once you've completed onboarding and integrated your calendar, you'll see your Marloo meetings dashboard with all your client meetings displayed chronologically.

Auto-join vs manual selection

  • Change anytime: Update your auto-join preference in Settings > Meetings

Important reminders

  • You're always in control: Even with Marloo set to join, you must manually admit it to the meeting

Recording In-Person Meetings

Capture and transcribe face-to-face client meetings

Using the web app for in-person meetings

Step 1: Open your meeting

  • Go to your meetings dashboard

  • Click on the in-person meeting you want to record

  • Or create a new meeting by clicking the meeting and selecting the relevant client

Step 2: Start recording

  • Click "Start Recording"

  • Marloo will begin capturing audio through your device's microphone

  • A recording indicator will show that the session is active

Step 3: Stop recording

  • Click "Stop Recording" when your meeting is finished

  • Marloo will process the audio and create a transcript

Using Marloo Mobile Apps

  • Download the Marloo mobile app for iOS or Android

  • Open the app and start a new recording

  • Perfect for meetings away from your desk

  • All recordings sync back to your main Marloo account

Processing time

  • Transcripts usually appear within 1-2 minutes after the meeting ends

  • You'll see the transcript automatically populate in the meeting

Best practices for in-person recording

  • Ensure your device microphone has good access to the conversation

  • Minimise background noise where possible

  • Test your setup with a short recording first

Starting Meetings Early with "Send Marloo Now"

Begin recording when clients arrive early or you want to start ahead of schedule

Understanding the "Send Marloo Now" feature

When you have auto-join enabled, Marloo waits until the official meeting start time to join. But what if your client arrives early or you want to start recording immediately?

Use “Send Marloo Now:”

Step 1: Go to your meeting

  • Navigate to the meeting in your dashboard

  • Click on the meeting details

Step 2: Click "Send Marloo Now"

  • You'll see a blue "Send Marloo Now" button

  • Click this button to send Marloo to the meeting immediately

  • Marloo will join the waiting room right away, rather than waiting for the scheduled start time

Step 3: Admit Marloo

  • Marloo will appear in your meeting's waiting room

  • Manually admit Marloo to begin recording

  • Continue with your meeting as normal

Why this matters

  • Client flexibility: Handle early arrivals professionally

  • Complete capture: Don't miss important pre-meeting conversations

  • Control: You decide exactly when recording begins

Remember: You're always in control - Marloo waits in the waiting room until you admit it to the meeting.

Adding Marloo to a Meeting by Pasting a Link

  1. Go to your meeting in the Marloo dashboard

  2. Click into the meeting details

  3. Look for the option to paste a meeting link

  4. Copy your virtual meeting link (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet)

  5. Paste it into Marloo

  6. Marloo will join the meeting automatically at the scheduled time

This method is useful when you need to manually add Marloo to meetings that weren't automatically picked up from your calendar.
