The Forgotten Recording Problem
You meant to record that important client call. But you forgot to click "Start Recording" before things got rolling. Now the insights are lost.
Calendar integration solves this permanently.
How Calendar Sync Works
SyntriMeet connects to your calendar and:
- Detects upcoming meetings - Sees your schedule
- Identifies recordable meetings - Filters based on your rules
- Auto-joins at start time - No manual intervention
- Starts recording immediately - Captures from first word
- Processes after meeting - Transcript and summary ready when you are
