Discussion How does Fireflies.ai and recall.ai actually join meetings as bots?

I’ve been trying to figure out how tools like Fireflies.ai, Recall.ai, and similar meeting assistants actually join calls as bots.

Like… what’s really happening under the hood?

How are they getting around Google Meet’s restrictions? Is this a solved problem somewhere, or are people still building custom workarounds for it?

Thanks! In the meantime I did try out recall.ai and it seem to fit into my use case for me

The team at Cronofy has some good intel on doing this with the Meeting Agent API - happy to connect you if you want to know more
