Using the Glean Chrome Extension
The Glean extension makes recording your online lectures a breeze. Open the side panel on any website, and you're recording without any fuss. The side panel has all the features you know and love from the Glean website, but now it's even easier to add notes as you listen and watch.
Important - The extension is availble for almost all our users. However if you are part of our Glean Teams subscription, then you won't have access. You will need to speak with your Glean Admin (the person who invited you to Glean) to let them know you would like to use the extension.

If you want your own voice to be recorded then you need to make sure to pick that option after pressing record.
Which Glean features can I use in the extension?
You can access all of Glean’s note-taking tools through the extension. If you wish to change settings, access the help menu, use the dark mode toggle, or use study tools such as Quiz Me or Focus Timer, you must log into the app.
Can I see the audio, transcript and outline within the extension?
These are automatically toggled off for the best note taking experience and we would recommend waiting until you finish recording to do this within the Glean app after recording. However, you can toggle them on using the layout button.
How do I access the event once I’ve finished recording?
Once you’ve finished recording, the event will appear in your Glean account straight away, ready for you to review!
