Choose which meetings to record
Decide which meetings to record and transcribe with Tinrec
Overview
Tinrec lets you decide which meetings need recording and transcription. Unlike a meeting bot that joins automatically, Tinrec records meeting app system audio via the Mac desktop app, so you can start recording manually when needed and stay in control of privacy and usage allowance.
Steps
- Confirm the Tinrec Mac desktop app is installed (macOS 12 or later) and that microphone and system audio recording permissions are granted. Windows version coming soon.
- Start an online meeting (Zoom / Google Meet / Microsoft Teams / Webex, and more).
- In the Tinrec Mac desktop app, click Start recording to capture meeting system audio with live transcription.
- To record only specific meetings, start recording only during those meetings; leave other meetings unrecorded.
- When the meeting ends, click Stop recording, confirm to save, and generate notes and to-dos automatically.
Tips / FAQ
Q: Can I set certain meetings to record automatically?
A: Tinrec does not currently offer settings to auto-record by meeting name or calendar (details per the official site). The most reliable approach is to start recording manually in the Mac desktop app when the meeting begins.
Q: Can the web app record meetings?
A: The web app can record directly, but each session has a limit. To capture online meeting system audio with fuller results, use the Mac desktop app.
