If you've tried connecting your calendar but your IT team hasn't approved the permissions, don't worry - you can still use Marloo to record and summarise your meetings. Here's how:

1. Send Marloo to Virtual Meetings (Paste the Link)

For Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet calls:

  • Go to the Marloo dashboard and click New Meeting

  • Paste your meeting link into the box

  • When the meeting is starting click the โ€œSend Marloo Nowโ€ button so Marloo can join the meeting

  • Marloo's notetaker will join the meeting and start recording once admitted by the host

Note: When using this method, the meeting won't automatically link to an existing calendar event. Tag the client to the meeting so it appears in their client profile.

2. Upload Audio Files

If you've already recorded a meeting separately:

  • Go to your Marloo dashboard

  • Click New Meeting

  • Use the upload option to add your audio file

  • Marloo will transcribe and process the recording automatically

3. Record In-Person Meetings Using the Mobile App

Use the Marloo app on your phone to record face-to-face meetings:

  • Download the app and log in with same details as website

  • Before the meeting, click New Meeting> Start Recording

  • You can then view the transcript and view the summary on the website

Important: Always press the Stop Recording button when finished. This saves and uploads the recording. Keep the app open and in the foreground on iPhone to prevent interruption.

To record phone calls view these articles here for iPhone and here for Android (you will need to upload onto a New Meeting)

4. Upload an Existing Transcript

If you already have a transcript from another source, you can upload it directly and Marloo will generate your summary.

Tips for Best Results

  • Tag clients to meetings so notes appear in their profile: Tagging a client to a meeting

  • Meetings created via "New Meeting" won't automatically link to calendar events, so tagging clients is especially important
