Why connect your Google Meet account?
Syncing your Google account with Pod allows you to automatically pull in Google Meet transcripts—no manual upload or note-taking required. Pod uses this data to surface deal insights, analyze stakeholder sentiment, and coach you on the best next steps to move your deals forward faster.
Adding Google Meet transcripts to the Pod AI engine unlocks a new layer of intelligence across your deals.
How to connect your Google Meet account?
Here are the steps to connect your Google Meet account to your Pod workspace.

Access the settings page, clicking on the bottom left Account Details button.
Navigate to the integrations under the "Integrations" section.
Select Google Meet from the list of available integrations.
Authenticate your Google account and grant Pod permission to access your Google Drive. You may need to be signed in with the Google account that owns the Meet transcripts

Note: Only the workspace admin has to connect their Google Meet account for all members of the workspace to have their Google Meet recording synced.
How to use your Google Meet integration in Pod
Once connected, Pod will automatically analyze Google Meet transcripts and use them to power several core coaching features:
💬 Customer Sentiment Analysis
Pod uses Google Meet transcripts to analyze stakeholder's sentiment throughout a deal. It helps identify when a stakeholder sounds excited, skeptical, hesitant, or confused, giving you a clearer picture of how the deal is progressing and what are areas of concerns or excitement for a prospective buyer.
🧱 Framework Analysis
Using transcript data, Pod evaluates the progress of a deal against your chosen sales methodology—like MEDDPICC, Challenger, or SPIN—to determine which critical elements were covered and which were missed. It highlights gaps in discovery, qualification, or stakeholder engagement, helping reps stay aligned with the structure that drives success.
📄 Meeting Briefs
Before each customer call, Pod automatically generates a concise meeting brief that summarizes key discussion points from previous calls and topics to discuss in the upcoming call. This brief gives reps clear guidance on how to best prepare to have a successful conversation.
How to remove your Google Meet integration in Pod
If you no longer wish to use the Google Meet integration with Pod, you can disconnect it at any time through Google Meet or directly from within the Pod application.
🛠 Option 1: Disconnect Through Google Account
Find “Pod” under the list of third-party apps
Click Remove Access
⚙️ Option 2: Disconnect Through Pod
Log in to your Pod account.
Go to Account Settings > Integrations.
Locate the Google Meet integration.
Click “Disconnect” next to the Google Meet logo.
⚠️ Implications of Removal:
Pod will no longer have access to your Google Meet recordings or transcripts.
Any future coaching insights or summaries will no longer be based on Google Meet call transcripts.
You can re-authorize the integration anytime from within the Pod platform.
🔒 Data Handling After Removal:
Pod will immediately revoke your access token.
All previously imported data remains stored securely for audit and coaching history, unless you request full data deletion via support.
To fully delete all associated Google Meet data, please contact our support team at [email protected].
How to Adjust Google Meet Settings
Some adjustments need to be made to your Google Meet settings to automatically record, store, and transcribe conversations so that you can leverage Google Meet call recordings.
✅ Step 1: Enable Meet Transcript (Admin Setup)
Ask your Google Workspace admin to go to admin.google.com
Navigate to:
Apps > Google Workspace > Google Meet > Meet video settings
Find Recording and Transcripts and toggle “Let people save transcripts” to ON
Save changes
🕐 Note: Changes may take up to 24 hours to take effect.
✅ Step 2: Transcribe a Google Meet Call
Start or join a Google Meet
Click the Activities button (bottom right)
Choose Recording & Transcripts
Select Start Recording & Transcript
Accept the recording notice
Transcripts will be saved to the meeting organizer’s Google Drive and emailed after the meeting.
⚠️ Note: Google Meet transcription must be started manually for each meeting— there is no native setting to automatically start transcription for all meetings by default, even in Google Workspace Enterprise or Education editions.
Troubleshooting
If you’re having trouble using the Google Meet integration with Pod, here are some common issues and how to resolve them:
If you’re unable to connect the Google Meet app...
Double-check that you’re using a licensed Google Meet account and that you’ve authorized Pod through the Google Meet App Marketplace or the Integrations tab in your Pod settings.
If Pod isn’t picking up your meetings...,
Make sure the meetings are scheduled under the same Google Meet account that was connected, and that the meetings are recorded to the cloud.
If call transcripts are missing or incomplete...
Verify that Cloud Recording and Audio Transcript are both enabled in your Google Meet settings before the meeting starts. Note that transcripts are only generated for cloud-recorded meetings and may take several minutes to appear after the meeting ends.
If recordings or transcripts still don’t appear in Pod...
Try disconnecting and reconnecting the Google Meet integration from your Pod account settings
If any of the above instructions are working to fix your issue, you can directly connect with Pod's customer support team, who will be more than happy to support you. Here are instructions to contact the support team.
