Möchtest du wertvolle Einblicke aus deinen Kundengesprächen gewinnen? Möchtest du sicherstellen, dass Meetings aufgezeichnet werden? Willst du Meetings automatisch per KI zusammenfassen und sie einfach mit Kunden oder Kolleg*innen teilen? Dann ist der Demodesk Notetaker genau das Richtige für dich!
Der Demodesk Notetaker wurde dafür entwickelt, Meetings aufzuzeichnen, die über Google Meet, Microsoft Teams oder Zoom stattfinden. Er tritt geplanten Meetings automatisch bei, kann aber auch manuell zu Instant-Meetings eingeladen werden. Der Zugriff auf deinen Kalender ist notwendig, damit der Notetaker weiß, an welchen Meetings er teilnehmen soll.
Voraussetzungen:
• Wir benötigen Zugriff auf deinen Google-/Outlook-Kalender
• Mindestens ein Teilnehmer muss eine aktive Lizenz haben, damit das Meeting aufgezeichnet und anschließend importiert werden kann
Wie es funktioniert:
Basierend auf deinen Einstellungen, welche Meetings du aufzeichnen möchtest, importieren wir diese Meetings in Demodesk und der Notetaker tritt ihnen bei. Wenn du dem geplanten Meeting beitrittst, siehst du eine Nachricht, dass der Bot dem Meeting beitreten möchte (wie jeder externe Teilnehmer). Du kannst akzeptieren oder ablehnen. Wenn du akzeptierst, zeichnet der Bot das Meeting auf. Wenn du ablehnst, nimmt der Bot nicht teil und das Meeting wird folglich nicht aufgezeichnet. Es werden nur Meetings berücksichtigt, bei denen du der Organisator bist und bei denen die Sichtbarkeit des Meetings im Kalender nicht privat ist.
Während der Demodesk Notetaker dafür ausgelegt ist, automatisch deinen Meetings beizutreten, kannst du dich auch für den direkten Eintritt entscheiden oder den Warteraum nutzen, um Teilnehmende manuell zuzulassen. Hier erfährst du mehr darüber, wie du den Warteraum für Google Meet, Microsoft Teams und Zoom aktivierst.
Google Meet
Du wirst benachrichtigt, wenn der Demodesk Notetaker deinem Meeting beitreten möchte. Klicke einfach auf „Zulassen“.
So erscheint der Demodesk Notetaker in deinem Google-Meet-Meeting.
Microsoft Teams
In den meisten Fällen wirst du benachrichtigt, wenn der Demodesk Notetaker deinem Meeting beitreten möchte. Klicke einfach auf „Zulassen“.
Wenn der Notetaker deinen Meetings direkt beitreten kann, bedeutet das, dass du die Lobby-Funktion in Microsoft Teams nicht aktiviert hast. Hier erfährst du mehr darüber, wie du sie aktivieren kannst.
So erscheint der Demodesk Notetaker in deinem Microsoft-Teams-Meeting.
Wie du ein Meeting spontan aufzeichnest
Öffne Demodesk und klicke auf „Meeting aufzeichnen“.
Hole dir den Meeting-Link aus der Kalendereinladung oder über die „Link kopieren“-Funktion während des Meetings.
Microsoft Teams
Du kannst den Meeting-Link während des Meetings abrufen, indem du auf „Personen“ > „Einladung teilen“ > „Meetinglink kopieren“ klickst.
In den meisten Fällen sieht der Link wie folgt aus:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/...
Google Meet
Kopiere den Meeting-Link aus deiner Adresszeile.
In den meisten Fällen sieht der Link so aus:
"https://meet.google.com/..."Füge den Meeting-Link ein, klicke auf „Meeting hinzufügen“, und der Demodesk Notetaker wird beitreten. Dieser Vorgang kann bis zu drei Minuten dauern.
Meetings per E-Mail importieren und aufzeichnen (Alternative zur kalenderbasierten Synchronisierung)
Als Alternative zur Kalendersynchronisierung kannst du Meetings jetzt ganz einfach importieren und aufzeichnen, indem du die dedizierte E-Mail-Adresse deines Unternehmens als Teilnehmer einlädst. Das ist besonders hilfreich für Meetings, die nicht über deinen verbundenen Kalender geplant wurden.
How it works
Füge die E-Mail-Adresse (z. B. demodesk-gmbh@agent.demodesk.com) als Gast zu deiner Meeting-Einladung hinzu.
(Du findest die dedizierte E-Mail-Adresse deines Unternehmens im Bereich Einstellungen → Präferenzen.)Das Meeting wird automatisch in Demodesk importiert und aufgezeichnet.
Du siehst die Aufzeichnung und die KI-generierten Notizen wie gewohnt in deinem Demodesk-Workspace.
Wie informierst du Teilnehmende über den Demodesk Notetaker?
Bitte stelle in deinen Unternehmenseinstellungen sicher, dass die Funktion GDPR Recording aktiviert ist.
Für jedes geplante Meeting sendet der Demodesk Notetaker eine Stunde vor dem Meeting eine E-Mail an alle Teilnehmenden. Darin werden sie darüber informiert, dass das Meeting aufgezeichnet wird, und haben die Möglichkeit, ihre Zustimmung abzulehnen. Wenn eine Teilnehmerin nicht zustimmt, tritt der Demodesk Notetaker dem Meeting nichtbei.
Zur Sicherheit empfehlen wir dir, deine Interessentinnen und Kundinnen gleich zu Beginn des Meetings aktiv über die Aufzeichnung zu informieren. Während des Meetings ist in der Kameraansicht des Demodesk Notetakers sichtbar zu erkennen, dass aufgezeichnet wird.
Hier ist ein einfaches Beispiel, wie du den Demodesk Notetaker organisch zu Beginn des Meetings erwähnen kannst:
„Hi, ich würde unser Meeting gerne mit dem Demodesk Notetaker aufzeichnen, damit ich mich voll auf unser Gespräch konzentrieren kann. Ich kann dir die Aufzeichnung danach auch gerne zuschicken. Ist das für dich in Ordnung?“
How to customize the Notetaker?
To foster a seamless and branded experience during your meetings, Demodesk allows you to customize the Notetaker to match your company's identity.
1. Access the Notaker customization: To begin personalizing your Notetaker, you navigate to the Recordings & AI settings.
2. Notetaker's name: By default, we take the name of the meeting host for the Notetaker (e.g. Marcel's Notetaker). You can also use it to reflect your brand. For instance, if your company's name is "Acme Corp," you might name your Notetaker "Acme's Assistant." This impacts the name that will be shown in Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom.
3. Camera feed for Notetaker: This allows you to disable the camera feed for the Notetaker. If disabled, it will not have an image in the meeting anymore and will look like a participant with a disabled camera. In Microsoft Teams, it will mean the Notetaker will show up smaller.
4. Logo Upload: Click on the box to upload your company logo. We recommend using a logo with a transparent background for a cleaner look on the default dark background. For a polished look, changing the background color is not possible. Please note that the maximum file size allowed for the logo is 25MB, and supported file types include PNG and JPG. Avoid using images that are taller than they are wide, as this can cause the logo to appear smaller than intended. Additionally, minimize padding around logos to prevent them from becoming too small in the layout.
5. Notetaker message: Here, you can craft a message that will be displayed to all attendees, explaining the Notetaker’s function. You might say, “Please note, this meeting is being recorded to ensure accurate note-taking.” Make sure your message meets legal standards. It’s important to inform attendees about the recording and its purpose. Transparency fosters trust and aligns with best practices. Please note that this message's maximum number of characters is 130.
6. Notetaker preview: After you have made your customizations, use the "See Preview" link to view how the Notetaker will appear during the meeting. This helps ensure everything looks as expected before going live.
7. Save: Once you are satisfied with your settings and the preview, save your changes. Your customized Notetaker is now ready for use in your next Demodesk meeting.
Note: The “Unverified” label may appear for the Demodesk Notetaker in a Microsoft Teams meeting because external participants do not have a trusted relationship with the organizer.
How to Manage Your Meeting Recording Preferences
Within Demodesk, you have the option to record all meetings (Internal and External). Based on your personal preferences, you can change these settings from your account. Here is how you can access these settings:
From your Demodesk dashboard, click on your profile at the top-right corner. From the dropdown that opens up, click on Personal Preferences
Click on the Preferences option from the list on the left
Once you select the Preferences settings, these toggle settings on the right will show up at the top:
Record External Meetings (Recommended)
What it does: This setting allows you to automatically record meetings with participants who are not on your company's Demodesk account. For example, all your meetings with prospects/customers or anyone not directly a part of your team or company will be classified and recorded as external meetings.
How to use it: Navigate to the ‘Recording Preferences’ section in your settings. Here, you'll find the toggle for 'Record External Meetings'. It's recommended to keep this feature turned on to automatically capture external interactions. When enabled, all your external meetings will be imported and recorded without any additional steps required.
Note: The Notetaker will automatically join these external meetings when this setting is enabled. It will check your connected calendars for scheduled meetings and import them to the Demodesk meeting overview automatically. This ensures that all meetings, whether scheduled through Demodesk or another platform, are centrally visible and managed within Demodesk.

Record Internal Meetings
What it does: Enabling this setting will allow the platform to record meetings where all participants are from your organization (all your team members and people from your organization on your Demodesk account)
How to use it: Similar to external meetings, you can toggle on 'Record Internal Meetings' in the ‘Recording Preferences’. This ensures that all internal discussions are captured, which can be invaluable for keeping detailed records, for various purposes, training, or revisiting previous strategic meetings.
Only Record Meetings Where You are the Organizer
What it does: This setting ensures that only meetings organized by you are recorded. This is useful for preventing the recording of meetings that might be scheduled by external parties or those not intended for automatic recording.
📝 Personal preferences for recording access always override company-wide settings. However, company settings define the default visibility for recordings
Import Meetings with No Participants
What it does: Enabling this setting allows the platform to import and record meetings that have a meeting link but no participants.
How to use it: Similar to other recording preferences, you can toggle on 'Import Meetings with No Participants' under the Advanced Preferences section. This ensures that all scheduled meetings, regardless of participant attendance, are automatically imported and recorded.
Use-case Example: In HR scenarios, some scheduling tools create two separate events for interviews—one for the interviewer and one for the interviewee. By enabling the 'Import Meetings with No Participants' setting, both events will be imported and recorded, even if one or both attendees haven't joined. This ensures all relevant meetings are captured, even without active participants.
Record individual meetings
Additionally, Demodesk allows you to seamlessly turn the recording feature on or off for individual meetings making it easier to decide and action on the go. Within your dashboard, you will see a Record Meeting button, indicated by a tiny circle, that can be toggled on/off for a particular meeting.
When you click on the button for this particular meeting, it will be set to record:
Similarly, when you click on it again, the recording for his particular meeting will be turned off.

FAQs
Where is the data hosted?
All data is processed within the European Union.
When is the recording available?
Recordings via Demodesk's Notetaker are available instantly.
How can I activate Demodesk's Notetaker?
You can enable Demodesk's Notetaker through your account manager.
Is Demodesk secure?
Demodesk prioritizes security, employing robust technical and organizational measures. These include encryption of recordings, both at rest and in transit, along with authorization and log monitoring, restricted access to recordings, and comprehensive physical and IT security protocols.
Why did the Notetaker leave my meeting?
The Notetaker will automatically leave your waiting room if it isn’t admitted within 15 minutes. It may also exit a meeting if it detects that no participants are present. For example, if the host is completely silent, the system might mistakenly assume the meeting is empty.
If this happens, you can simply re-invite the Notetaker by using the “Record meeting” feature again.
Troubleshooting: Why the Notetaker Might Not Join
Internal/External Meeting Settings & Email Domain Classification: Your calendar event might not match your chosen internal or external recording settings. Verify that your meeting aligns with your Recording Preferences (e.g., Record Internal Meetings, Record External Meetings), and ensure that the email domains listed in your settings are placed in the correct category (internal and external). If a domain isn’t listed or is added incorrectly, Demodesk could misclassify the meeting, and the Notetaker won’t join.
No-Participant Meetings: By default, Demodesk won’t import a meeting if no participants are added to the event. To include these events, make sure to enable the Import Meetings with no participants toggle here in the Advanced Preferences.
Event is Marked Private: Private events are excluded by default. If you want to record a private event, you can make the event public on your calendar.
Missing or Unsupported Meeting Link: A valid Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom link must be present. If the link is missing, Demodesk cannot import the event.
Event Organizer Not a Demodesk User: If the meeting organizer is not a Demodesk user, and everyone has “Only Record Meetings Where You Are the Organizer” turned on, the Notetaker will not join.
Consider turning off “Only Record Meetings Where You Are the Organizer” if you’d like the Notetaker to join meetings organized by non-Demodesk users.
Different or Secondary Calendar: The event might be on a different calendar than your main one. Demodesk only imports events from the one it is connected to here.
Unhealthy or Non-Functioning Calendar Connectivity: Even if you initially granted permission, the connection between Demodesk and your calendar may have lapsed. Please try reauthorizing your calendar in Account Settings to make sure you have a healthy link.
Mixed Google & Outlook Connections: If you have both Google and Outlook connected, Demodesk can only be set to import from your main default calendar (selected by you here).
Outlook On-Premise or Missing Licenses: If your Outlook account is hosted on-premise or lacks proper permissions/licensing, Demodesk may not be able to import your events. Confirm that your Outlook setup is cloud-based (Microsoft 365) and that you have the right licenses to integrate with Demodesk.
Tip: The Notetaker can also join ongoing meetings if added manually.
