Meeting 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)

Notes folder	Where meeting notes are saved	Meetings

Template Variables

Use these in your template file:
