How to get your Google Meet chat history

Annoyingly, Google Meet does not save chat history in your meetings.

I recently shipped the new Chat update for AttendList — now, it can automatically track chat messages from a meeting.

With AttendList's Chat History feature, you can review a chat transcript after the meeting. It's perfect for going back and finding links or details that you forgot about from an earlier meeting.

Here's how to track your Google Meet chat history with AttendList:
