This guide is for individuals who want to enable the notice just for themselves. Are you an Enterprise admin enforcing this for your whole workspace? See the admin guide.
There are two steps: turn on the setting and then grant the Accessibility permission.

​
Step 1 — Enable the Zoom Chat feature

  1. Open Settings > Preferences > Transparency > Notify participants via meeting chat, find Notify in Zoom Chat, and click Set up. The "Notify participants via meeting chat" preferences page with Set up next to Notify in Zoom Chat.
  2. In the setup window, click Enable accessibility. The "Add notice in Zoom chat" setup window with the Enable accessibility button.

​
Step 2 — Grant Accessibility permission

  1. macOS opens System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility. Enable (or drag in) Granola and confirm. macOS asks to let Granola “control your computer” — this is required so Granola can foreground the Zoom window and paste the message. macOS System Settings Accessibility pane with Granola being added.
  2. Back in Granola, the setup shows Accessibility enabled — click Continue. The setup window showing Accessibility enabled, with Continue active.
  3. Notify in Zoom Chat is now on. The preferences page with Notify in Zoom Chat toggled on.

​
When the message sends

The message is posted automatically when both of these are true:
  • Transcription has started and captured some speech (i.e. someone else is in the meeting — you won’t notify an empty room), and
  • The Zoom window is in focus (you’ve clicked on it).
So it may appear slightly later in the call if little is said at the start or you’re focused on another window. Also make sure the Zoom chat composer is empty — if you’ve already typed something there, Granola can’t paste into it.

​
Troubleshooting

If Loom is running, its confetti keyboard shortcut can break auto-paste. Open the Loom widget, click the three dots, go to Preferences, and disable the confetti keyboard shortcut.
