Record a meeting with an optional agenda

Use the built-in recorder and add an agenda before recording starts.

Written by Max Sherman

Use the recorder when you want MinutesGenerator to capture the meeting directly in your browser. The recorder records your microphone only. For a Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet call, record in that app and upload the file instead.

  1. Open the dashboard and click Record Audio. If a meeting is open, click New Upload first to return to the dashboard.

  2. In Start recording, optionally add an agenda under Agenda (optional). You can use a PDF, Word, text, or image file. An agenda helps MinutesGenerator understand the meeting order and expected topics.

  3. Click Start Recording. If your browser asks, allow microphone access.

  4. Use Pause and Resume for breaks. Keep the browser tab open while the meeting is being recorded.

  5. When the meeting ends, click Stop. Wait until Saving recording... finishes. MinutesGenerator then creates the transcript and minutes.

  6. Open the meeting from the Minutes list on the dashboard. Its name starts with MG Recording followed by the date and time.

  7. Review the transcript and minutes, then use Export when the final edits are complete.

For best results, record from a device close to the speakers.

To switch microphones, check the microphone level, or learn how recordings are protected if the tab closes, see Use the recorder and keep a browser recording safe. For more about agendas, see Upload an agenda for better minutes.
