Can I record Google Meet without a Meet recording bot?

Yes. Capture from your computer with yapyap instead of admitting a notetaker to the call.

Where does the Meet transcript live?

On your computer by default. Export only when you choose, not as a condition of using yapyap.

No. yapyap records the computer’s audio, so the browser, the profile, and the tab do not matter.

Keep the Meet guest list clean. yapyap records locally and turns the call into notes on your hardware.

In short: use Meet as you already do. yapyap records from your computer so you never have to approve or explain a notetaker guest.

Join Meet in the browser or app as usual.
Start yapyap capture on the same computer.
When the call ends, stop. Then open the transcript. If you need a write-up, choose a lens.

Headphones on: the call audio still arrives, because it comes from the computer, not the room.
Meet in a second browser profile: no difference. Capture sits below the browser.
Someone joins by phone: their audio comes through Meet like anyone else’s.
