Does Granola Work With Zoom, Teams, Outlook and Windows? (2026)

Yes, Granola works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet through its Mac and Windows apps, and it syncs your Outlook calendar if you use Microsoft 365. What it doesn't do: keep a recording, draft follow-up emails in Outlook, or take notes on Zoom, Teams or Meet calls from an iPhone.

Below is each question in turn, answered from Granola's own website, help center and blog, checked October 19, 2026. If you're on Windows or Teams and want the meeting video kept too, Scribbl, which we make, is an AI note taker for Zoom and a Microsoft Teams AI note taker that records with nothing joining the call.

Does Granola work with Zoom?

Yes. Granola runs on your Mac or Windows PC and transcribes your computer's microphone and system audio, so no bot joins the Zoom call and there's no Zoom integration to set up. It works whether you host the meeting or just attend.

• Speaker names need the Zoom Workplace desktop app on Mac or Windows. Without speaker tags, the transcript shows "Me" and "Them".
• No recording. Granola sends the audio to its transcription provider during the call and doesn't save audio or video, so you can't replay the meeting.
• Audio devices matter. Granola's Zoom guide says Bluetooth or USB headsets can cause dropouts, and your output device should match the system default.
• A Zoom app on Enterprise. Granola also has a Granola Zoom app, in beta for Enterprise plans, that a workspace admin installs from the Zoom Marketplace. When it runs, Zoom shows a banner that meeting content is being shared with apps.

If you want the Zoom call kept as video, with a transcript with speaker names, AI notes and action items, Scribbl Desktop does that on Mac and Windows with nothing joining the call. See Scribbl for Zoom.

Does Granola work with Microsoft Teams?

Yes, through the Microsoft Teams desktop app on Mac or Windows, with no bot in the participant list. Granola's own Teams guide says the desktop app routes audio reliably and "the browser version may not", so use the app.

• Speaker names need the Teams desktop app.
• Match your audio devices. If your system default devices differ from the ones Teams uses, Granola says it captures only one side of the conversation. On Windows, Granola suggests turning off Audio Enhancements if transcription drops.
• Signing in with Microsoft shows your Outlook meetings in Granola and lets you open a Teams call from a Granola reminder.
• Posting notes into Teams isn't built in. Granola's guide says to use its Zapier integration, which needs the Business plan at $14 per user per month, or copy and paste. See Granola pricing for every plan.

Scribbl records any Teams meeting you join from a Mac with Apple silicon or a Windows PC, keeps the video, and its Automations can post the notes to a Microsoft Teams channel for you. See Scribbl for Microsoft Teams.

Does Granola work with Google Meet?

Yes, through the Granola desktop app for Mac or Windows, in any browser. Granola's Chrome extension is optional: it posts a notice in the Meet chat when transcription starts, and it can read who is speaking for speaker names. Speaker names on Meet need Chrome or the Granola Chrome extension.

Scribbl works the other way round on Meet: the Chrome extension is the whole thing, so there's no desktop app to install, and you get the video, the transcript with speaker names, AI notes and action items. See Scribbl for Google Meet.

Does Granola work with Outlook?

Yes for the Outlook calendar, partly for Outlook email.

• Calendar: yes. Click Sign in with Microsoft and approve calendar access, and your Outlook meetings show up in Granola with a reminder before each one. Your admin may need to approve the access. Granola only reads your calendar; it never edits your events.
• Microsoft 365 only. Granola works with cloud Microsoft 365 calendars (Exchange Online). On-premises Exchange isn't supported, and neither is Apple Calendar.
• One calendar provider. Granola reads the calendar of the account you sign in with: Google Calendar if you signed in with Google, Outlook if you signed in with Microsoft.
• Follow-up emails: Gmail only. Granola drafts follow-up emails from the meeting, but its Gmail page says "Outlook isn't supported yet", and connecting Gmail needs a paid plan.
• Sending notes by email works. "Send notes via email" opens a draft in Gmail or Outlook with the notes copied in.

Scribbl's Automations draft the follow-up email for you to copy or open in Gmail, and they never send it by themselves.

Does Granola work on Windows?

Yes. Granola for Windows runs on Windows 10 or later. You download Granola.exe from Granola's website and sign in with Google or Microsoft; on Windows, the microphone and system audio permissions are granted automatically. It takes notes on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and any other call your PC can hear, with no bot. On a Mac, Granola needs macOS 14 or later.

The Windows app works the same way as the Mac app, so it also deletes the audio after transcribing. For Windows with the video kept, see the best AI note takers for Windows.

Does Granola work on iPhone and Android?

Partly. Granola's iPhone app takes notes on in-person meetings and on outgoing phone calls made through Granola's built-in dialer, and it works with Apple Watch on watchOS 11 or later. Phone call notes are iPhone only, so the Android app does in-person meetings.

What the phone apps can't do is take notes on a video call. Granola's help center says it can't transcribe Zoom, Google Meet or Teams calls on mobile, because phones don't let one app capture another app's audio. For video calls you need the Mac or Windows app.

Other things people ask about Granola

• Webex, Slack huddles and other apps? Granola's homepage lists Slack huddles, and its help center says any call whose audio plays through your computer can be transcribed. Start those with New Note, since they aren't linked to your calendar. Speaker names work only on Zoom, Teams and Meet.
• Linux or a Chromebook? Granola lists macOS, Windows, iOS and Android. It doesn't list Linux or ChromeOS.
• Does Granola need a bot or an admin? No bot, and Granola says it works without admin permissions on the meeting app. The Enterprise Zoom app is the exception, since an admin installs it.
• Slack? Slack is on every Granola plan, including the free one. Notion, Zapier and HubSpot need Business.
• Can I get the audio later? No. Granola says there's no way to access meeting audio afterward. It keeps the transcript and your notes.

Scribbl: the pick for Windows and Teams

If you came here because you're on Windows or your company runs on Teams, Scribbl covers all of it in one account, with nothing joining the call:

• Scribbl Desktop for Windows and for Macs with Apple silicon records Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
• The Chrome extension records Google Meet, with no desktop app to install.
• Every meeting gets the video recording, a transcript with speaker names, AI notes and action items.
• Smart Collections sort meetings by themselves, and Automations do the follow-up when a meeting lands in a collection: draft the follow-up email, post to Slack or Microsoft Teams, log a note in HubSpot or Pipedrive, save to Notion, Google Drive or Confluence, or open an Asana, Monday, Linear or Jira ticket. They ask before they change anything by default.
• Ask ChatGPT or Claude about your past meetings on Pro.
• Private by default. Recordings are private, and Scribbl doesn't use your meetings to train AI for anyone other than you.

When it runs, Zoom shows everyone a banner that meeting content is being shared with apps.

Does Granola work with Microsoft Teams?

Does Granola work on iPhone?
