Google Meet
betaBring Google Meet calls into HiveBase — turning transcripts into summaries, searchable context in your Brain, and approval-gated tasks.
Google Meet connects to HiveBase through the Google Workspace integration. Once connected, HiveBase pulls in your calendar for meeting prep and turns Meet conversations into summaries, searchable context in your Brain, and optional tasks.
How HiveBase gets your meetings
Google Meet does not stream live audio to HiveBase. Transcription comes from one of two sources: Meet-generated transcripts saved to Google Drive (available on eligible Workspace plans), or a connected notetaker — Fireflies, Fathom, or tl;dv. A notetaker is the recommended path: it works on every Meet plan and produces consistent, speaker-attributed transcripts. If you want fully native, in-platform meeting capture instead, see the Zoom integration.
How meeting capture works
A meeting flows from Google Meet to a transcript, then into a summary and durable context in your Brain, and finally into optional tasks you approve.
What it captures
Through the Google Workspace connection, HiveBase reads the data below. Calendar context is always available once connected; transcript availability depends on your chosen source.
| Data | Source | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Meeting metadata (title, time, participants) | Google Meet + Calendar | Meeting prep, attribution, context |
| Calendar events | Google Calendar | Upcoming-meeting prep and scheduling context |
| Meet transcripts | Google Drive (eligible Workspace plans) | Summaries and Brain context |
| Meeting transcripts | Connected notetaker (Fireflies / Fathom / tl;dv) | Summaries and Brain context — recommended |
| Summary | Generated by HiveBase | Recall, reports, and task detection |
| Suggested tasks | Detected by HiveBase | Approval-gated task creation |
Connect Google Meet
Google Meet is enabled as part of Google Workspace. Connecting Workspace lets you select which services HiveBase may access.
Open Data Sources
In HiveBase, go to Settings → Integrations → Data Sources.
Connect Google Workspace
Find Google Workspace and click Connect. You'll be redirected to Google to sign in and review access.
Choose services
Select the services to enable. To capture meetings, include Meet and Calendar; enabling Drive lets HiveBase read Meet-generated transcripts saved there. Gmail is optional.
Meet scopes
For Meet, HiveBase requests read access to meeting metadata and participants, plus access to Meet-generated transcripts and recordings stored in Drive.
Authorize
Review the requested permissions on Google's consent screen and click Allow. You'll return to HiveBase with the connection marked Connected.
(Recommended) Add a notetaker
For reliable transcripts on every Meet plan, also connect a notetaker — Fireflies, Fathom, or tl;dv. HiveBase's notetaker pipeline processes their output into summaries and Brain context.
Calendar context for meeting prep
The Google Calendar connection powers meeting prep: HiveBase uses upcoming events — their titles, times, and participants — to surface relevant Brain context before you join, so you walk into the call already briefed. Calendar context works as soon as Workspace is connected, independent of whether a given meeting is transcribed.
Tasks and approval
When HiveBase detects action items in a meeting, it surfaces them as suggested tasks. Task creation and any outbound action follow HiveBase's approval model — nothing is created or sent without your sign-off.
Review before it acts
HiveBase proposes; you approve. See Trust & safety for how approvals, outbound actions, and autonomy work.
Disconnect and data
Open Data Sources
Go to Settings → Integrations → Data Sources in HiveBase.
Disconnect Google Workspace
Find Google Workspace (marked Connected) and disconnect it. This revokes HiveBase's access and stops future data collection. You can reconnect at any time.
Manage imported data
Disconnecting stops new data from flowing in. To remove meeting content already imported into your Brain, use the data-deletion option in Integrations settings.
Notetakers are managed separately
A connected notetaker (Fireflies / Fathom / tl;dv) is its own integration. Disconnecting Google Workspace does not disconnect your notetaker, and vice versa — manage each from its own entry in Data Sources.
FAQ
Does HiveBase record or transcribe Google Meet calls itself?
No. HiveBase does not join calls or transcribe live audio. It reads transcripts from Google Drive (where eligible Workspace plans save Meet transcripts) or from a connected notetaker.
Which transcript source should I use?
A notetaker (Fireflies, Fathom, or tl;dv) is recommended — it works on every Meet plan and gives consistent, speaker-attributed transcripts. Drive transcripts work too if your Workspace plan generates them.
I connected Google Workspace but I'm not seeing summaries.
Confirm a transcript exists for the meeting: either Meet saved one to Drive (and Drive access is enabled), or a connected notetaker captured the call. Without a transcript from one of these sources, there's nothing to summarize.
Is there a fully native meeting integration?
Yes — the Zoom integration captures recorded meetings in-platform without a separate notetaker.
Will HiveBase create tasks automatically?
Detected tasks are surfaced as suggestions and created only after you approve them. See Trust & safety.
