MinutesGenerator creates transcripts and minutes from a recording's audio. For large videos, it can upload only the audio, which is much faster than uploading the whole file.
Upload a large video
On the dashboard, click Upload Media File.
Under Media file, choose your video. For an MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM video of about 1 GB or more, MinutesGenerator shows Checking your recording….
If your browser can separate the audio, you'll see We’ll upload the audio from this recording. Only the audio is uploaded, and the original video stays on your computer. To upload the whole file instead, click Upload the full video instead.
If you chose the full video, you'll see The full video will be uploaded. To switch back, click Use audio for a faster upload.
Optional: add an agenda under Agenda (optional).
Click Generate minutes. For audio only, Preparing your recording… shows a progress bar before the upload starts. Click Cancel preparation if you need to stop.
Keep the page open until the upload finishes.
When the full video is uploaded
The whole file is uploaded when the video is smaller than about 1 GB, is in another format, or when your browser can't separate the audio. In that last case you'll see We can’t separate the audio from this recording in your browser, and the upload may take considerably longer. Some browsers, including older versions of Safari, can't separate the audio.
If something goes wrong
We couldn’t find audio in this recording: check that you chose the right file. Minutes are made from the meeting audio.
If preparing the audio fails, click Try again or Upload the full video.
For other file types, see Supported upload file types.
