Invite Notetaker to meetings not connected to your calendar / Zoom account on an ad-hoc basis... and to any call on any platform
Guy Mannerings
Right now, there is no way to invite Notetaker to a meeting that is not on your calendar or connected to your Zoom account.
This severely limits the usefulness of Notetaker, as you often get an ad-hoc meeting link right at the last minute ("Let's jump on a video call!") and have no time to add it to your calendar, or it's impractical to add it to your calendar.
Likewise, if the call does not take place on Zoom, you cannot record.
Further, if you don't want Notetaker to be in EVERY call, there is no way to achieve this. It is all or nothing.
We should be able to just invite Notetaker to any call on an ad-hoc basis, in the same way other users or notetaking programs can be.
And it should work with any call platform.

Guy Mannerings yes, ability to join an ad-hoc meeting is smth for us to crack after notetaker deduplication (which is now in progress).
For this "if you don't want Notetaker to be in EVERY call, there is no way to achieve this. It is all or nothing" part, how would you see it solved to fit your workflow?
Guy Mannerings
Alex Lashkov Simply by giving the Notetaker a link to join.
So you send Notetaker a link/add a link to Notetaker, and it joins when the meeting starts, or when you send it (whichever is appropriate).
It would be great if:-
- We could forward a link to it via e-mail (say, if we are not at our computers but still want Notetaker to join a call).
- It can tell if the meeting has already started or when it will be starting, so it knows whether to join now or later.
I have the following in HappyScribe - a simple meeting link box (see image).
Also it has the following useful settings (see images).

Guy Mannerings thanks for the explanation!

Another use-case: When someone just sends you a link to a call in an e-mail.
This won't be in your calendar, won't be in your Zoom account, and won't be in a ClickUp Task. So Notetaker cannot join it.
I just want to be able to join the call and invite Notetaker.

Guy Mannerings yeah that makes total sense. We are exploring what we can do for that!
