Introduction

Granola gives you two transparency features to make it clear to meeting participants that notes are being captured. You can enable one or both, just for yourself or across your team — see how to set them up. The first option is an automated chat message: Granola posts a message in your meeting chat when it starts transcribing to let everyone know. It’s quick, automatic, and visible without interrupting the flow of conversation. A pinned consent message in Google Meet chat reading "Hey, I'm using www.granola.ai to transcribe and take notes." The second is Granola Watermark, which when selected, displays a visible indicator on your video that Granola is transcribing and stays present throughout the call.

Additional notice options in Zoom and Microsoft Teams

Some organizations choose to configure additional meeting-level notice directly in their video conferencing platform. These settings are administered by the customer in Zoom or Microsoft Teams and can be used alongside Granola’s consent features to provide participants with clearer, standardized notice. For Zoom, account owners and admins on eligible plans can show a custom disclaimer when participants start or join a meeting. You can enable this at the account or group level, customize the title and description, and choose whether it appears for internal participants, external participants, or both.

This can help organizations provide a consistent notice experience when recording or transcription is used in Teams meetings.

Granola does not configure these settings on behalf of customers, and customers remain responsible for determining what notice or consent is required for their use case and jurisdiction.
