無需進入會議即可錄製會議：如何輕鬆擷取討論內容

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.

In this guide, we’ll explore 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:

• Conflicting schedules – You can’t attend but still need the information.

• 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.

Ways to Record a Meeting Without Entering It

1. Use a Meeting Bot (Best for Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams)

Some tools provide AI meeting assistants that can join and record meetings on your behalf.

Popular Meeting Bots for Recording:

• Otter.ai Assistant – Automatically joins scheduled meetings and transcribes them.

• tl;dv – Records Zoom & Google Meet calls, generates summaries.

• Fireflies.ai – Captures meetings, transcribes, and extracts key action points.

✅ Pros:

• No need to join manually.

• Provides both video and text transcription.

• Easy integration with calendar and conferencing apps.

❌ Cons:

• Some platforms notify participants that a bot is recording.

• Requires setup and integration.

2. Record Through a Secondary Device (Best for Internal or Private Meetings)

If you have access to a meeting link but don’t want to actively participate, you can:

• Use a separate computer or phone to join the meeting and record from there.

• Keep your camera and microphone off to stay unnoticed.

• Use built-in screen recording software like QuickTime (Mac) or Xbox Game Bar (Windows).

✅ Pros:

• Simple and free method.

• No need for third-party tools.

❌ Cons:

• You still technically “enter” the meeting.

• Some platforms notify hosts when a recording is happening.

3. Request a Meeting Recording from the Host

If you can’t attend, the simplest solution is to ask the meeting host to record and share the file with you.

✅ Pros:

• Ensures high-quality recording.

• Avoids third-party software risks.

❌ Cons:

• You rely on someone else to record and share.

• Not always an option in external meetings.
