Migrate from Fireflies to Meetgeek.
2 documentation-derived translation patterns — what carries over and what to watch for. Cited to the Feature Parity Map; the audit tells you whether the move is worth it.
MeetGeek and Fireflies both auto-generate a speaker-labeled, searchable transcript after each call with automatic language detection across 100+ languages, so the transcription workflow carries over directly. To cut MeetGeek and keep Fireflies, let the Fireflies Notetaker record going forward — transcripts are produced automatically, stored in the Fireflies Notebook, and are searchable, with speaker diarization applied to recorded calls. For MeetGeek transcripts you want to preserve, export them from MeetGeek (Download transcript to Google Docs/Word/Excel) and re-upload the original audio/video into Fireflies so it re-transcribes them; transcription is available on every Fireflies plan including Free.
- Warning: MeetGeek transcript download/export is gated to its Pro plan and above — the free Basic plan cannot export — so retrieve your historical transcripts before cancelling, while you still have an active paying MeetGeek seat.
- Warning: Re-uploaded files lose speaker identity: Fireflies applies generic labels (Speaker 1, Speaker 2) to uploaded audio/video, because real speaker matching only happens when the Fireflies bot joins the live meeting or you use the Chrome extension. Plan to re-label imported MeetGeek meetings by hand.
- Warning: Transcription is unlimited on MeetGeek Business+ but Fireflies meters transcript STORAGE by minutes per seat (Free 800 min/seat, Pro 8,000 min/seat; unlimited only on Business/Enterprise). High-volume teams that relied on MeetGeek's unlimited transcription may hit Fireflies' storage cap unless on Business or higher.
- Warning: Both quote 100+ languages with auto-detection, but the exact supported-language lists and per-language accuracy differ — spot-check transcripts for any non-English languages your team depends on before fully retiring MeetGeek.
Both tools capture calls the same way: a notetaker bot auto-joins scheduled meetings from your calendar and records them for transcription and summaries. To cut MeetGeek and keep Fireflies, connect the same Google/Outlook calendar to Fireflies and turn ON auto-join from the Fireflies dashboard so its 'Fireflies.ai Notetaker' (Fred) bot starts joining your Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex calls in place of the MeetGeek bot. First disable MeetGeek's auto-join (or disconnect its calendar) so you do not get two bots in the same meeting. Fireflies covers the bot-free paths too — a Chrome extension for Google Meet and a desktop app for system audio — replacing MeetGeek's browser extension and mobile capture. For any past MeetGeek meetings you want to keep, download the recordings/transcripts from MeetGeek first and re-upload the audio/video into Fireflies, which transcribes uploaded files.
- Warning: Both bots auto-join from the same calendar, so leaving MeetGeek's auto-join enabled will send two notetakers into the same call — turn MeetGeek's auto-join off before relying on Fireflies.
- Warning: HD video recording is gated to Business and higher on BOTH tools (MeetGeek Business+, Fireflies Business+); on Fireflies' Free/Pro you keep the transcript and summary but not the stored video, so confirm your plan if you relied on MeetGeek's stored recordings.
- Warning: Fireflies re-records meetings going forward but does not import MeetGeek's back-catalog automatically. Past MeetGeek recordings must be exported and re-uploaded one by one, and MeetGeek transcript export/download is gated to its Pro plan and above (the free Basic plan cannot download), so pull anything you need before you cancel.
- When the host enables a waiting room/lobby, the Fireflies bot requests admission before it can join and record — same as MeetGeek — so a host or co-host must admit it (or pre-admit it) or that meeting will not be captured.
