Your company set up Google Meet for you — here’s how to use it
If your organization already enabled ELSA Meeting Companion on its Google Workspace, you don’t have to authorize anything yourself. Sign in to ELSA and your Google Meet calls become English coaching sessions automatically.
Am I on a B2B plan?
If any of the following is true, this guide is for you. Otherwise, use the B2C learner guide instead.
Invited by your company
You received an ELSA invitation from your employer (HR, L&D, or IT), or you sign in with your work email via SSO.
No Google OAuth prompt
When you go to Meeting Companion in ELSA, Google is already listed as connected — you never had to click “Connect Google” yourself.
Managed by an admin
Your ELSA account was provisioned by an admin who owns your team’s ELSA for Business seats. Reports may roll up to them.
How to use it, end-to-end
The whole flow is passive — you take your Meet calls normally and reports appear in ELSA.
Sign in to ELSA with your work identity
Open app.elsaspeak.com or the ELSA mobile app and sign in with the same email your company uses (SSO or email + password, depending on how IT set it up). Don’t create a separate personal ELSA account — you’d lose your seat.
Confirm Meeting Companion is on for you
Open Meeting Companion from the ELSA sidebar. You should see Google listed as Connected via your organization. If it’s greyed out, your admin hasn’t added you to a Meeting Companion group yet — ping them.
Host or join your Google Meet calls normally
Use Meet exactly as you always have. Your work calendar is synced through your organization’s connection, so ELSA already knows which meetings you attend. You do not need to invite anything to the call yourself.
Review your feedback report
Two to five minutes after the meeting ends, you’ll get a “Meeting review is ready” notification and a card on your ELSA home screen. It shows:
- Your speaking time vs. other participants
- Pronunciation score (0–100) across your utterances
- Fluency, pace, and filler-word breakdown
- Vocabulary suggestions tuned to your recent meetings
Follow the auto-generated practice lessons
ELSA turns the sounds and words you struggled with into short practice sessions. 10 minutes a day on those closes the loop between real meetings and real improvement.
How the B2B setup differs from B2C
Auth
Domain-level, done by your Google Workspace admin (Domain-Wide Delegation). You use ELSA as normal — no per-user Google consent screen.
Reporting
Admins on your plan can see aggregated group-level metrics — speaking time, participation, pronunciation trends. They cannot listen to your audio or read your transcripts.
Live coaching
Real-time in-call feedback isn’t part of the Workspace-level setup. If you want it, ask your admin — individual authorization can be layered on top.
Privacy & opt-out
Even though your admin owns the Workspace connection, you keep control over your own data.
Only your speech is analyzed
ELSA processes your speaking segments. Other participants’ audio is used only to separate speakers.
Admins see aggregates, not audio
Your admin sees group-level metrics only. They cannot listen to your recordings or read your transcripts.
Pause any time
Go to Settings → Meeting Companion → Pause. ELSA stops processing your Meet calls until you resume.
Delete on request
Email privacy@elsanow.io to delete your feedback history. Access follows your org’s retention policy.
Frequently asked questions
I don’t see any Meet calls in ELSA — what’s wrong?
Three checks: (1) Is your ELSA email the same as your Google work email? Mismatches break the mapping. (2) Did the meeting have a Google Meet link on the calendar invite? (3) Are you in a Meeting Companion group your admin has enabled? Confirm those and it usually resolves.
Can I use ELSA on my personal Google account too?
Not through your company’s connection. If you want to analyze meetings on a personal Google account, that would go through the B2C flow (individual OAuth). Check with your admin before mixing accounts — some employers restrict this.
What can my admin actually see?
Aggregated group metrics: number of meetings processed, average speaking time, pronunciation score trends, top improvement areas. Not the meeting audio, not your transcripts, not your individual per-meeting reports.
What happens when I leave the company?
Your admin (or SSO) will deactivate your account. ELSA stops processing new meetings immediately. Your historical reports are retained according to your organization’s retention policy — usually 90 days, sometimes longer on Enterprise.
Can I export my feedback?
Yes — from Settings → Privacy → Export my data, ELSA emails you a JSON archive of your feedback reports and speaking-time history. Audio is not included by default.
Can I choose which meetings get analyzed?
Yes. In Preference → Analysis Settings, choose Every Meeting to analyze everything automatically, or I’ll Choose Myself to pick meetings one by one with the per-meeting Companion toggle.
Ready to start?
Sign in with your work email — your next Google Meet call becomes your next coaching session, automatically.
