Connect a calendar and your meetings are ready before they start: titled, with the right people attached, and set to record the moment the call begins. Your calendar is read on your machine; talat has no server that sees it.
Connecting a calendar
Under Settings → Calendar you can connect Apple Calendar (on macOS, via a system permission prompt) or Google Calendar (through Google’s sign-in). Once connected, each calendar in the account has its own toggle, so you can sync only the ones you want. The same page shows each connection’s status and lets you disconnect, which removes its access and its events.
What syncing does
- Scheduled meetings appear in talat. Upcoming events show on the home screen and on the calendar view, ready to open.
- Attendees come across. talat pulls in the invitee list and matches people to speakers you’ve named, by email address.
- Meeting links are detected. Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, and others are picked out of the event so recording can start on its own.
- Titles carry over. A recording made from a calendar event can take the event’s title automatically.
Recording a scheduled meeting
When a scheduled meeting’s time arrives and talat detects the call starting, it promotes the event to a live recording, following the same auto-start setting as any other call (see recording a meeting). You also get an optional heads-up notification shortly before it begins.
Choosing what shows up
Not every event is a meeting worth recording, so the Calendar settings let you filter: hide events that have no conferencing link, limit to certain link types, or exclude events matching a pattern, which is handy for room and resource accounts that get invited to everything.
talat checks for changes every few minutes and looks a week ahead. If an event disappears from your calendar, it’s removed from talat too.
