In this guide, we describe how to set the language(s) in which your meetings will be transcribed in Meetgeek.
Default language settings
You can review the default settings for language by going to the Settings page, Meeting Assistant tab. The main language should be the one that is most frequently used in your online meetings. By default, it is set to English (United States). You can change it by selecting the appropriate language from the dropdown near the "Main language" section.
Note: Any change to the language settings will be applied to all your future meetings, overwriting any custom language settings you have previously set to a particular upcoming meeting. Past meetings that were already analyzed will not be affected. Live meetings that were started before the change will not be affected either.
Automatic language detection
MeetGeek now supports automatic language detection for your meetings.
When this feature is enabled, MeetGeek will automatically identify the language spoken at the start of your meeting and apply the appropriate transcription and summary settings — no manual selection needed.
This is especially useful for teams working across multiple languages or with international clients, ensuring your transcripts and summaries are as accurate as possible, regardless of the language spoken.
Note: Automatic language detection works across all supported languages listed below. You can still set a default or custom language if you want to override the auto-detection for specific meetings.
Custom language settings
Sometimes an upcoming meeting could be held in a language different than the main language you have set in Meetgeek for your account. You can configure the same main language settings with meeting granularity from the Upcoming Meetings page. The flag near each meeting indicates the main language for that specific meeting.
You can change the meeting settings (including the main language) by clicking on the settings icon near the join toggle, From the dialog you can change the language settings (and much more).
