You can record any meeting in the web app without installing anything. The audio is kept in your browser and uploaded in small pieces while you record.

Record a meeting in the room

  1. Click New recording in the sidebar.
  2. Type a title if you like. A meeting on now in your connected calendar is picked for you.
  3. Under Audio, keep Microphone only. With more than one microphone, choose one under Microphone.
  4. Optional: open Advanced to set the Language. Notulist remembers it for next time.
  5. Click Start recording. The first time, allow your browser to use the microphone.
  6. Use Pause and Resume when you need to. Click Stop & transcribe when you’re done, or Discard to delete the recording.

Keep the tab open while you record; you can move around in the app. A recording stops by itself after 3 hours, the maximum length of a meeting, with the last five minutes counted down.

Record an online meeting

In Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers on a computer, Notulist can also record the other participants, by sharing your meeting’s sound.

  1. Under Audio, choose Microphone + computer audio (marked Beta).
  2. Click Start recording, then Choose what to share.
  3. Meeting in your browser? Choose that tab. Meeting in an app such as Teams or Zoom? Choose the app’s window or your entire screen.
  4. Turn on Share audio and confirm.

Notulist only uses the sound: the other participants don’t see anything. If sharing stops during the meeting, Notulist asks whether to Stop recording or Continue with the microphone only.

Good to know:

  • On Linux, and on macOS before 14.2, only a browser tab can share its sound.
  • On a Mac, turn on your browser under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording, and restart it.
  • No sound from a shared screen? If your meeting plays through another audio device, such as a headset, share the app’s window instead.

Firefox, Safari and phones

Firefox and Safari can’t share sound, so they record your microphone only. Phones and tablets don’t offer computer audio; use the iPhone or Android app there. On a Mac, the Mac app records calls without sharing your screen. On Windows, the Windows app does the same.

If the microphone doesn’t work

Seeing “Microphone access was denied”? Allow the microphone in your browser’s settings. Closed the tab or lost the connection? See A recording or upload failed or got stuck.
