Follow the live transcript, take private notes, and name each speaker. Finish the [setup](/docs/meetings/overview#set-up) before your first meeting. ## Start a recording * **From a prompt**: click **Record** in the **Meeting detected** prompt. See [Meeting detection](/docs/meetings/overview#meeting-detection) * **From a calendar reminder**: click **Join & Record** or **Record**. See [Calendar integration](/docs/meetings/overview#calendar-integration) * **By hand**: in the **Meetings** tab, click **+**. Use this for any other app or an in-person meeting To pick a [summary template](/docs/meetings/summaries) before the meeting starts, click the arrow next to **Record** in a prompt. The meeting window opens, and the meeting appears under **Happening now** in the **Meetings** tab. A meeting window while recording, with the live transcript panel open and private notes Meetings has no keyboard shortcut. Your dictation shortcut still works during a meeting, and your dictation stays out of the meeting recording. ## During the meeting ### Live transcript Click **Transcript** in the toolbar to show or hide the transcript. Search it with **Search transcript or speakers**. The transcript follows the language spoken, even when it changes mid-call. To pin one language, set **Language** in [Meeting settings](/docs/meetings/overview#meeting-settings). ### Private notes Type in the notes area of the meeting window. The summary treats your notes as facts about the meeting. Notes stay on your Mac and aren't part of a [share link](/docs/meetings/share#share-a-link). ### Speaker names Speakers show as **Speaker 1**, **Speaker 2**, and so on. When you record alone with no call audio, your lines show as **You**. In Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack huddles, Superwhisper suggests names from the call. To rename a speaker: 1. Click **Assign speakers** (the people icon) in the transcript panel 2. Play a sample to hear who it is 3. Click the name and type a new one The new name replaces the old one everywhere in the transcript. Give two speakers the same name to merge them. The Assign speakers panel listing each speaker with a sample to play ### Pause, minimize, and switch models * **Pause**: click **Pause recording**, then **Resume recording** to continue * **Minimize**: press **Cmd-M**. The window shrinks to a small pill and keeps recording. Click the pill to bring it back * **Switch voice model**: change **Voice** in Meeting settings. If the current model streams, the change applies to your next meeting Muffle and Lower are off while a meeting records, so you hear the call at full volume. ## End a recording Click **End recording** (the stop button), then confirm. The summary starts right away. See [Summaries and templates](/docs/meetings/summaries). When the call ends, Superwhisper shows **Meeting ending in 9s**. Click **End meeting** to stop now, or choose **Keep recording** from its menu. **Cmd-W** asks before it ends a recording. It never closes the window on its own. ## Discard a recording Click **Discard this recording** (the trash button), then **Discard recording**. This deletes the audio and transcript and can't be undone. ## Find past meetings The **Meetings** tab lists meetings by day, newest first. Open one to play the audio, edit the title, summary, or notes, or switch templates. The **More** menu (**…**) has **Copy summary**, **Copy transcript**, **Recording info**, and **Delete recording**. **Search meetings** looks through titles, summaries, notes, attendees, and speakers. Narrow it with filters: | Filter | Example | Finds meetings | | - | - | - | | `attendee:` or `with:` | `with:alex` | With Alex invited | | `speaker:` | `speaker:sam` | Where Sam spoke | | `template:` | `template:email` | Summarized with a template | | `date:` or `on:` | `on:yesterday` | On `today`, `yesterday`, `7d` (the last 7 days), or a date like `2026-10-15` | | `after:` / `before:` | `after:2026-10-01` | In a date range | | `duration:` | `duration:>15m` | Longer than 15 minutes | Search meetings with a speaker filter applied Meetings are saved on your Mac with your dictations. **Keep recordings for** in **Settings → Configuration** deletes old meetings too. ## Troubleshooting ### "Set up meeting models in the Meetings tab first" The meeting models aren't ready. In the **Meetings** tab, click **Set up meetings**. ### "No microphone available." Connect a microphone, or [select one](/docs/common-issues/microphone-and-system-audio#superwhisper-uses-the-wrong-microphone). ### "Meetings are disabled by your organization." Your Enterprise admin turned off system audio recording, which turns off Meetings. ### The other side of the call is missing Turn on **Screen & System Audio Recording** for Superwhisper. See [System audio recordings come out empty](/docs/common-issues/microphone-and-system-audio#system-audio-recordings-come-out-empty-or-silent). ### No "Meeting detected" prompt 1. Set **Recording suggestion** to **Notify** or **Auto** in Meeting settings 2. Check that the call is in Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or a Slack huddle. For other apps, start the recording by hand 3.
