Connecting your Google Calendar to Vinyl lets the bot automatically detect and join your upcoming meetings. Once connected, Vinyl can record and summarise meetings scheduled in your calendar across platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams.
Connect your Google Calendar
Click on the Integrations tab. On the Google Calendar card, click Connect.
Follow the prompts to allow Vinyl access to your calendar. Vinyl only asks for read-only access to your calendar events.
Vinyl records from one calendar at a time. If you already have Outlook Calendar connected, the Connect button is greyed out with the message Disconnect Outlook Calendar to connect this one. Disconnect Outlook Calendar first, then connect Google Calendar.
Once connected, Vinyl will automatically scan your Google Calendar for upcoming meetings and join them when it detects a supported meeting link.
What happens after you connect
Vinyl will look for supported meeting links in the calendar events saved to your Google Calendar. If a meeting includes a Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams link in the location or event description, Vinyl will join automatically and begin capturing once the meeting starts.
Vinyl joins while Automatic recording is on in Settings › You › Meetings, which it is by default. You can also switch the notetaker off for a single meeting in Upcoming, and Vinyl will skip that one.
This makes it easier to keep everything recorded and organised without needing to invite Vinyl manually for each meeting.
If your calendar connection gets stuck
If your Google Calendar card says Reconnect needed, click Reconnect and follow the prompts.
If your Google Calendar connection isn't working correctly in another way — for example, meetings aren't being detected — you can disconnect and reconnect from the Integrations tab.
Go to Integrations and find Google Calendar.
Click Disconnect.
Once disconnected, click Connect and follow the prompts to reconnect.
When you disconnect, upcoming meetings from that calendar come off your schedule. Meetings already recorded, meetings where you changed the recording setting yourself, and meetings also on another connected calendar stay. Teammates on the invite keep the meeting. Once you reconnect, your upcoming meetings come back.
If the Disconnect button appears to get stuck or doesn't respond, try the following:
Refresh the page and try again.
Open Vinyl in a different browser or an incognito window and attempt to disconnect from there.
Clear your browser cache, restart the browser, then log back in and try again.
If none of the above works, contact our support team and we'll sort it out for you.
