New user controls for Take notes for me

Update (March 5, 2026): The rollout to Rapid Release domains is currently paused while we make enhancements to the feature. We'll provide an update here when it resumes, including a specific date for the start of the rollout to Scheduled Release domains.

We are introducing more ways meeting hosts and participants can view and control “Take notes for me” in Google Meet.

When participants join a call in Google Meet, they are first directed to a green room. In the green room, participants now see a more prominent notice when “Take notes for me” is enabled for a meeting they are about to join.

Additionally, eligible users can now turn off "Take notes for me" and transcription directly from the green room before joining a call that has yet to start. If the call has started, users can still stop or start notes at any time during the call.
