Meeting Detector

Auto-detect online meetings (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams) and prompt to record or create meeting notes.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview

  • Updates2

Automatically detect online meetings (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams) and prompt you to start recording or create meeting notes.

Features

  • Auto-detect meetings — Monitors for Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams in the background
  • One-click actions — Start recording, create a meeting note, or both from a single popup
  • Meeting notes from templates — Generate notes with {{date}}, {{time}}, {{app}} variables
  • Meeting end detection — Optionally auto-stop recording or show a notification when a meeting ends
  • Configurable — Polling interval, target apps, note templates, file naming, and more

How It Works

The plugin periodically checks for running meeting applications:

App Detection Method
Zoom Process detection (pgrep)
Microsoft Teams Process detection (pgrep)
Google Meet Browser tab title detection via osascript (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, Safari)

When a meeting is detected, a modal appears with options to:

  • Start Recording — Triggers the built-in Audio Recorder core plugin
  • Create Meeting Note — Creates a note from your template
  • Record & Create Note — Both actions at once
  • Dismiss — Close the modal (won't show again for this session)

Settings
