Them: Will your tool need approval from our IT team?
Answer · say this
It requests no tenant permissions and never joins the meeting, so there's nothing for IT to approve or block.

The Teams problem: your IT department probably blocks notetakers
Teams is where the "no bot" difference stops being a preference and becomes the whole reason a tool is usable. Microsoft 365 tenants are commonly configured to block anonymous or external applications from joining meetings, and third-party notetaker bots are exactly what those policies are written for. The result is familiar: you connect a notetaker, it works on your personal calls, and then it silently fails on every meeting that matters.
Wazomind never requests access to your tenant, never authenticates against Microsoft 365, and never joins a meeting. It captures the audio your own computer is already playing. There is no policy to satisfy because there is no application asking to join.
Which version you need
| How you use Teams | What you need |
|---|---|
| Teams in a browser tab | Chrome extension |
| Teams desktop app (Windows) | Wazomind Windows app — captures system audio |
| Teams desktop app (macOS) | Not yet; use Teams in a browser with the extension |
Most corporate Teams users are on the desktop client, so the Windows app is the usual answer here — unlike Google Meet, where the extension covers almost everyone.
How this differs from Microsoft Copilot in Teams
Copilot needs a licence. It is a paid add-on per user, assigned by your administrator. If your organisation hasn't bought it for you, it isn't available — and that decision isn't yours to make.
Copilot recaps; it doesn't prompt you mid-sentence. It produces an excellent meeting recap and can answer questions about the meeting afterwards. It is not designed to hand you the answer while the client is waiting for it.
Copilot's output lives in your tenant. That is a genuine advantage for compliance and a genuine limitation if you want notes that are yours. Wazomind keeps notes on your device and never stores call content on our servers.
Consent, and why this matters more in enterprise
Because Wazomind is invisible to the meeting, being straightforward about it matters more, not less. Recording is always indicated on your own screen and cannot be switched off, there is no hidden or "undetectable" mode, and nothing is injected into anyone else's client. Recording and consent laws vary by jurisdiction, and in a regulated organisation you should tell people you're taking AI-assisted notes — the same as you would with any other tool.
The design goal was a tool that survives an IT review rather than one that avoids one. That is the deliberate difference between Wazomind and the covert live assistants.

FAQ
Will it work if my company blocks notetaker bots?
Yes. That restriction applies to applications requesting to join a meeting. Wazomind never joins — it captures audio on your own device — so there is nothing for the policy to block.
Does it need admin approval or a Microsoft 365 licence?
No. Wazomind doesn't authenticate against Microsoft 365 or request tenant permissions, so no licence or admin consent is involved.
Does the Chrome extension work with the Teams desktop app?
No — an extension can only hear a browser tab. For the Teams desktop client you need the Wazomind Windows app.
Should I tell people I'm using it?
Yes, and in a regulated organisation you should. Recording is always shown on your own screen and there is no hidden mode, but consent requirements vary by jurisdiction and are your responsibility.
Is it free?
Yes to start. Unlimited live transcript, three coaching suggestions per call, and a summary with the key points. Pro is $19/month or $180/year.
