Sometimes, you need to record a meeting without actually joining it—whether it’s because of a scheduling conflict, a busy day, or just wanting to review the discussion later without actively participating. While most video conferencing platforms require you to be present to initiate a recording, there are ways to capture meeting audio and video without entering the session yourself.
Neste guia, vamos explorar the best methods to record a meeting without joining and introduce a powerful AI tool to transcribe and summarize your recordings automatically.
Why Record a Meeting Without Entering It?
There are several reasons why you might need to capture a meeting without actively joining:

- Passive participation – You only need to review key points later.
- Time efficiency – Instead of sitting through long discussions, you prefer a summary.
- Asynchronous collaboration – Team members in different time zones can catch up at their convenience.
