How long can Fireflies stay in a meeting?

For meetings where the Fireflies bot is invited, the duration Fireflies can stay depends on your subscription plan:

What if your meetings run over the scheduled time?

  • Once Fireflies reaches the time limit, it will leave the meeting automatically.

  • If you need Fireflies to stay longer, invite it to your ongoing meeting again using the Add to Live Meeting feature. Here's how to do it:

  • Open the Fireflies app.

  • Click the Add To Live module on the top right side of your dashboard.

  • Enter the meeting name (optional), meeting link, and select the meeting language.

  • Click Start capturing.

  • The Fireflies bot will rejoin the meeting within a few seconds.

  • The meeting host will receive a prompt seeking permission to admit Fireflies into the meeting

  • Click Admit to allow Fireflies to record and transcribe the meeting.

In your Fireflies Notebook, you will see the meeting in two parts.

  • Part 1: The first few hours, where Fireflies was initially invited.

  • Part 2: The rest of the meeting after you added Fireflies using the Add to live meeting feature.
