Meeting participants may want to know how Read ended up in their meeting. Read can only join a meeting if it is added by a Read user who was invited to the meeting.
There are a couple of ways to see who invited Read to your meetings:
Chat Message
Depending on how the Read user added Read to your meeting, Read may post a message in the chat when it joins. The chat message will look something like this:
Note that the name(s) of whoever invited Read will be listed at the start of the message. If you don't see this message from Read, there are a couple of possible reasons:
- The meeting owner or meeting platform administrator has disabled meeting chat entirely.
- You joined the meeting late (although with Zoom specifically Read will still send this message to latecomers as a DM).
- Read was invited by a Read user who using the Google Meet's native recording.
- The user who initiated Read recorded the meeting via the Read desktop app or mobile app.
Meeting Recap Email
Read users have the option to automatically distribute meeting notes to meeting attendees. If you receive the meeting notes via email and you did not add Read to the meeting yourself, you'll see a note like this near the top of the email indicating who added Read to the meeting:
If you do not see this note, this likely means that you added Read via your own Read account. If you aren't sure if you have an account, you can use the account lookup tool on our Account & Privacy Center.
