Meeting Recorder

Join Google Meet calls as an active participant with real-time transcription.

Prerequisites

1. Chrome automation skill must be installed and working
2. Run setup once: ~/.claude/skills/meeting-recorder/scripts/meeting-recorder-setup/setup.sh

Quick Start

Join a Meeting

meeting-recorder join "https://meet.google.com/xxx-yyyy-zzz"

Check Status

meeting-recorder status

Read Live Transcript

# Current meeting
tail -f /tmp/meetings/current/transcript.txt

# Specific meeting
cat /tmp/meetings/abc-defg-hij/transcript.txt

Send Chat Message

meeting-recorder chat "Hello from Claude!"

Leave Meeting

meeting-recorder leave

List Past Meetings

ls /tmp/meetings/

Meeting Storage

Each meeting creates a directory at /tmp/meetings/<meeting-id>/:

• transcript.txt - Full transcript with timestamps
• metadata.json - Meeting info (URL, start time, status)
• mentions.txt - Detected questions/mentions for Claude

The /tmp/meetings/current symlink always points to the active meeting.

Configuration

Edit ~/.meeting-recorder.json:

{
    "participant_name": "Claude Assistant",
    "meetings_dir": "/tmp/meetings",
    "mention_keywords": ["claude", "assistant", "ai"],
    "speaches_url": "ws://localhost:8000/v1/realtime",
    "transcription_model": "Systran/faster-distil-whisper-small.en"
}

How It Works

1. Chrome navigates to meeting URL
2. Enters participant name and joins (camera/mic off)
3. PulseAudio captures Chrome's audio output
4. Audio is batched (5-second chunks) and sent to Speaches HTTP API
5. Transcription written to meeting directory
6. Claude can read transcript and respond via chat

Active Participant Mode

Claude can monitor the transcript for mentions and questions:

• Check /tmp/meetings/current/mentions.txt for detected questions
• Respond via meeting-recorder chat "response"
