Meeting detection and controls
Free Meeting Transcriber does not start recording on its own. It can notice sustained microphone use, show a reminder, and stop an active recording after the meeting app releases the microphone.
Turn on meeting reminders
Section titled “Turn on meeting reminders”Open Settings → Notifications and enable Microphone detection. Choose how long the microphone must be active before the notification appears. The available delay is between 5 seconds and 2 minutes.
You can exclude apps that use the microphone but should not trigger a meeting reminder. The same page has a setting to respect macOS Do Not Disturb.
Stop when the call ends
Section titled “Stop when the call ends”Open Settings → App → Meetings and enable Stop when meeting ends. This uses microphone activity from the meeting app to decide when to stop.
This is a convenience, not something to trust blindly. If you switch devices or use an app with unusual microphone behavior, check that the recording is still active.
Keep the controls visible
Section titled “Keep the controls visible”Enable Show floating bar under Settings → App → Meetings. A small recording control stays available while the app is listening.
