Add Groupthink to Specific Meetings

Groupthink gives you full control over which meetings it attends. When you connect a calendar, Groupthink won't join any meetings until you choose how you'd like it to behave — you can enable automatic joining for all meetings, or add it manually on a meeting-by-meeting basis.

Option 1: Add to Specific Meetings Manually

If you want to choose which meetings Groupthink joins:

1. Go to User Settings > Calendar and make sure your attendance preference is set to "Let Me Choose Each Time"
2. When you want Groupthink to join a specific meeting, open your Calendar in Groupthink
3. Hover over the meeting and click "Add Groupthink"

This gives you full control over which meetings Groupthink attends.

Option 2: Use the Calendar to Add to Upcoming Meetings

1. Click "Calendar" in the Groupthink navigation bar
2. Browse to the meeting you want Groupthink to join
3. Hover over the meeting name — you'll see an "Add Groupthink" option
4. Click it, and Groupthink will join that meeting when it starts

Option 3: Use Private Desktop Recording

If you don't want the Groupthink bot to join the call but still want to capture the meeting:

1. Start your meeting as usual on Zoom, Teams, or Meet
2. Open the Groupthink desktop app
3. Click "Record" to capture audio from your computer
4. Groupthink will transcribe and summarize without joining the call as a participant

This is great for sensitive meetings where you don't want a bot visible to other participants.

Tips

• You can always remove Groupthink from a meeting you've added it to — see Remove Groupthink from a Meeting
• If you use Private Desktop Recording, other participants won't see Groupthink in the meeting
• You can mix and match: use auto-join for recurring team meetings and manual add for one-off calls
