FAQ

Whether speaker diarization is available and how effective it is will vary depending on how you use the service. Please refer to the table below:
If speaker labels in the transcription are incorrect (for example, the number of speakers is wrong or one person is split into multiple speakers), please first check whether multiple people joined using the same account (applies only to the meeting bot), whether there were any network or audio interruptions, and whether the meeting was within the supported language and speaker‑count limits. If the issue persists, please contact us through in‑product feedback or customer support with specific meeting details and screenshots to help us investigate.
If you prefer not to have the bot join your meeting, there are still other ways to record and transcribe it:
- Use the “Record online meeting tab” feature:
- In the “Create meeting” menu, click “Record meeting” and choose a recording mode (standard recording or live transcript).
- Turn on the “Record online meeting tab” feature and select the browser tab where your meeting is taking place (for example, the Google Meet tab). The system will record the video and audio of that tab.
- After the meeting ends, stop the recording. The system will automatically handle transcription and speaker segmentation.
- Or, record using another method and then upload the file:
- If you prefer to record the meeting using other devices or tools (such as a voice recorder, smartphone recording, or other screen recording software), you can first capture the audio that way.
- After recording, upload the audio file to Meeting Ink for transcription. Common audio formats such as .mp3, .wav, .m4a, and .aac are supported.
The Meeting Ink meeting bot will join meetings and perform recording and transcription based on your Google Calendar events or a Google Meet link you provide. It is suitable for the following situations:
- When you cannot join the meeting on time or in person but still want to keep a record.
- When you want to automatically generate a verbatim transcript and key points from the meeting for later review or sharing with participants.
- When you need to consistently record specific types of meetings (such as internal syncs or client meetings) and want the bot to join automatically via calendar integration.
Before using it, please make sure that:
- The meeting has a Google Meet link. (For automatic joining via calendar, the Calendar event must already contain a Google Meet link.)
- You have completed Google integration in Meeting Ink and linked the correct email address in the settings.
- Someone must approve the bot’s join request within about 20 minutes after the meeting starts; otherwise, the bot will automatically leave.
After use, please make sure that:
If you leave the Google Meet while the meeting is still ongoing, the bot will not automatically exit. If you want to stop recording, you must re-enter the meeting and remove the bot manually; otherwise, it will continue recording and consume your meeting recording quota.
The basic features are the same, but enterprise plans add an option to “auto‑join internal members only”. When this is enabled, the bot will automatically join a meeting only if all “participants listed in the Calendar event” use email addresses from the same company domain. If even one external email is included, the bot will not be scheduled to join.
How to confirm the bot email you’ve integrated:
- Go to the relevant enterprise workspace.
- Click your avatar and choose “Settings”.
- Select “Integrations & Apps”.
- Confirm that “Google Meet” is connected and click “Settings” on that integration card.
- Check the email domains listed under “Linked email”, for example, if you see , the domain is example.com.
Even if auto‑join is enabled, if no one accepts the Meeting Ink bot’s join request within 20 minutes after the scheduled meeting start time, the bot will automatically leave the Google Meet.
To avoid wasting resources, if the bot detects no sound for more than 10 consecutive minutes during a meeting, the system will automatically remove the bot from that meeting.
This can happen in situations like:
- The meeting room is opened early, but the meeting has not actually started.
- Long periods of mute or break time.
- The meeting is interrupted but not formally ended.
If the meeting is going to continue later, you can manually have the bot rejoin using the methods described below.
If the Meeting Ink bot is removed from the meeting by the host, or fails to join due to permissions or connection issues, you can manually have it rejoin.
- Scenario 1: The bot was kicked out during recording, and you want to continue recording the same Google Meet.
- Scenario 2: You notice there is no bot in the meeting before recording starts. In either case, you can use one of the methods below:
- From “Create meeting” in the Dashboard:
- On the Dashboard, open the “Create meeting” function and choose the “Meeting bot” option.
- Then paste the Google Meet link and click “Start recording”. The bot will re‑enter the same Google Meet and resume recording (in scenario 2, the host or a participant must approve the bot’s entry).
- From the calendar panel or calendar page in the Dashboard:
- Go to the calendar page from the left navigation.
- Find the relevant calendar meeting card.
- Click “Join bot” to have the bot enter the meeting and start recording.
The Meeting Ink meeting bot joins meetings based on the “meeting link in the Google Calendar event”.
If the calendar event only has a title and time, and no Google Meet link has been created or attached, the bot will not be able to auto‑join.
Recommended checks:
- Confirm that the Google Calendar event has a Google Meet meeting link attached.
- Edit the event, click “Add Google Meet”, save it, and then return to the Meeting Ink calendar page to confirm the status.
Yes. They’re interchangeable—sign in with the same account and your entitlement and expiration date stay in sync across platforms, with no extra payment required.
In-app subscriptions are billed and processed by the app stores.
Apple / Google charge developers platform and payment processing fees, so in-app prices reflect those costs.
Direct purchases on the official website don't include that platform fee and can often be cheaper.
Actual prices may vary by currency, taxes, or promotions.
We recommend purchasing on the official website:
- Log in to the official website with the same account
- Choose a plan and complete payment
- Return to the app and sign in with the same account; your benefits will sync automatically (no extra payment).
Quick link: Go to website subscription
Payment channels are different, so you can’t switch directly. You’ll need to:
- First cancel your current in-app subscription (this won’t affect access for the period you’ve already paid for).
- After it expires, re-subscribe on the official website.
Cancel on iOS: iPhone "Settings" → Apple ID → "Subscriptions"
Cancel on Android: Google Play Store → account icon (top right) → "Payments & subscriptions" → "Subscriptions"
No. After canceling, you can continue to use the service until the paid-through date. Once it expires, purchase on the website to continue seamlessly.
On the Enterprise plan, use “Enterprise Custom Summary Templates.” Admins can define 1–3 company-standard templates (including required custom sections and formats) to ensure outputs meet standards. For additional template counts or advanced onboarding support, contact: service@dwave.cc
Review your templates and delete less-used ones to free up quota, or upgrade to a higher plan for more capacity. See Plans & Pricing: https://ink.dwave.cc/en-US/pricing
Yes. For example, on the Basic plan you can create 3 Custom Summary Templates; if you already have 3 and delete 1, you can create 1 new template.
If that's still not enough, delete less-used templates or upgrade (Plans & Pricing: https://ink.dwave.cc/en-US/pricing).
No. Templates are generation specs; deleting them won't affect existing meeting content. If needed, you can copy from a default template again.
Yes. Put fields, examples, naming rules, and default sentences (when data is missing) into a Custom Section prompt; the AI will output to spec.
Tips:
- Specify format clearly.
- Define what to extract and evaluation criteria.
- Add a "no data" default sentence.
Editability:
- Meeting Concept (user-entered, up to 500 characters);
- Brief/Outline/Key Points/Action Items (system-generated; can toggle on/off; section names fixed);
- Custom Sections (free-form prompts; up to 3; each prompt up to 500 characters).
Can turn on/off: Brief, Outline, Key Points, Action Items
Can reorder by drag & drop: Brief, Outline, Key Points, Action Items, Custom Sections
Only use Custom Sections? Yes—keep "Meeting Concept" and your "Custom Sections" and turn off the others.
We made AI summary outputs predictable and editable with a modular structure. The system offers multiple preset scenario templates; you can also create "Custom Summary Templates" to fit different meeting types and writing styles.
A template includes six sections: Meeting Concept, Brief, Outline, Key Points, Action Items, and Custom Sections. The AI outputs according to the sections and order you set.
Multiple built-in scenarios (e.g., General Meetings, Product, Sales, Education, Healthcare, Interview/Research, …).
Briefly describe the meeting background, goals, and applicable scenarios (e.g., "Cross-department product review focusing on decisions and ownership"). This helps the AI correctly understand the template’s purpose.
Copy a "Default Template" and then adjust it; or click "New Template" to create one from scratch. Both methods let you quickly manage templates in the list.
After you select a template for a meeting, the AI generates the summary according to that template's sections (e.g., Outline, Key Points, Action Items, Custom Sections…).
The same template can be applied to different recordings/meetings to keep outputs consistent.
If you didn’t enable live captions during the meeting, the processing time for converting audio to a transcript typically takes less than one-tenth of the meeting’s duration.
If you’ve been waiting longer than that, please contact Meeting Ink support or your account representative for assistance.
No matter whether you're using the Meeting Ink Web version or the mobile app, your recording is saved locally on your device.
If a transcript wasn't generated, it’s usually due to an unstable internet connection.
To fix this, go to your Meeting List, select the meeting, and tap "Retry". The meeting recording will then begin reprocessing and the transcript will be generated.
Yes, that’s possible!
Please inform your IT/network administrator that your company network needs to allow inbound and outbound traffic on port 3478 over both UDP and TCP.
(If your IT team needs to whitelist specific IP addresses, please contact your Meeting Ink account representative for details.)
Unexpected interruptions during recording may be caused by the following factors:
- Phone system power management: Some mobile devices automatically stop background recording to save battery or memory when the app is not in the foreground.
- Unstable or disconnected network: If your internet connection is unstable, the app may fail to sync properly during recording, which can affect how the recording is saved or uploaded.
- Missing app permissions: Make sure the app has been granted permission to access the microphone and storage. Without these permissions, recording may not function properly.
- Usage limits based on your subscription plan: If you're on a free or limited plan, recording may stop automatically once your usage limit is reached.
Recording limits by plan:
How to prevent unexpected interruptions:
- Keep the app running in the foreground while recording to reduce the chance of the system force-closing it.
- Check your phone’s battery and memory management settings, and set Meeting Ink to “Unrestricted” or “No restrictions.”
- Ensure a stable internet connection throughout the recording to avoid upload or sync issues.
- Check your subscription status. If you’ve reached your usage limit, consider upgrading your plan for longer recording time.
Yes — the Meeting Ink app is designed to continue recording even when your phone screen is off.
However, please note that some phone models and brands have their own system-level power management policies. These may automatically close background apps, which can interrupt the recording or even cause data loss.
To ensure a smooth recording experience, we recommend:
- 🔹 Keep the app screen open during recording whenever possible.
- 🔹 Avoid enabling battery saver mode while recording.
- 🔹 After recording, make sure the file has been saved and uploaded successfully.
- 🔹 Check your phone’s battery and memory management settings, and add Meeting Ink to the "exceptions" or "allowed to run in background" list to reduce the risk of the app being automatically closed by the system.
