GithubMeeting Detector - Obsidian Plugin
Automatically detect online meetings (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams) and prompt you to start recording or create meeting notes.
Features
- Auto-detect meetings — Monitors for Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams in the background
- One-click actions — Start recording, create a meeting note, or both from a single popup
- Meeting notes from templates — Generate notes with
{{date}},{{time}},{{app}}variables - Meeting end detection — Optionally auto-stop recording or show a notification when a meeting ends
- Configurable — Polling interval, target apps, note templates, file naming, and more
How It Works
The plugin periodically checks for running meeting applications:
| App | Detection Method |
|---|---|
| Zoom | Process detection (pgrep) |
| Microsoft Teams | Process detection (pgrep) |
| Google Meet | Browser tab title detection via osascript (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, Safari) |
When a meeting is detected, a modal appears with options to:
- Start Recording — Triggers the built-in Audio Recorder core plugin
- Create Meeting Note — Creates a note from your template
- Record & Create Note — Both actions at once
- Dismiss — Close the modal (won't show again for this session)
