Record Any Meeting Without a Bot Joining
ScreenApp records the meeting in your browser, so nothing joins the call as a visible participant. Most meeting recorders send a bot that appears in the attendee list. This one captures the audio and screen directly from the tab, then transcribes it and pulls out action items once the call ends.
Start the recording, run your meeting, and the transcript is searchable the moment you hang up. Speakers are labelled, action items are extracted, and nothing needs installing beyond the Chrome extension.
Works with Zoom, Teams, and All Platforms
Capture automatic notes from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and any video conferencing platform. The Chrome extension generates AI minutes directly without bots joining your calls. Works with phone calls, in-person meetings, client discussions, and team standups.
Install the extension, start your call, and get automatic notes. Access complete transcripts with speaker labels, action items, and timestamps instantly.
What You Get After the Recording Stops
AI generates structured minutes, extracts action items with owners, and identifies key decisions automatically. Every meeting becomes searchable by keyword. Jump to specific topics with timestamped transcripts. Share notes with your team or export as PDF or DOCX.

Why ScreenApp Stands Out in 2026
No Bot = Better Meetings: Unlike Fireflies, Otter, Fathom, and Grain that all add visible bots to calls (making participants aware they’re being recorded), ScreenApp captures audio discreetly. Client meetings feel more natural without “Bot joined the meeting” notifications disrupting flow.
Team pricing:
- ScreenApp: Pro is $19 per seat/month, billed annually. Team cost increases with the number of seats.
- Fireflies: $18/month × number of users
- Fathom: $19/month × number of users (after March 2026 increase)
Screen Recording Included: Only ScreenApp and Grain capture screen content alongside audio. Essential for product demos, design reviews, and any meeting involving visual content. Grain costs same $19/month but requires bot presence.
