How to record a meeting in Fyxer

How to record meetings, invite the Notetaker, or upload recordings into Fyxer for transcription and summaries.

Updated over a month ago

Fyxer gives you three ways to capture a meeting:

  1. Record through your microphone

  2. Invite the Notetaker to join a live online meeting

  3. Upload an existing recording

Each option generates a transcript and meeting summary once processing is complete.



Record via Microphone (In-Person Meetings)

Use microphone recording when you want to capture audio directly from your device - ideal for:

  • In-person meetings

  • Brainstorming sessions

  • Ad-hoc conversations not linked to a calendar invite

How to record using your microphone:

  1. Open your Dashboard

  2. Go to Meetings → Recordings

  3. Click Record MeetingStart recording now

  4. (Optional) Link the recording to a calendar event

  5. Confirm your microphone input

  6. Click Start recording

Recording limits:

  • Maximum recording duration: 2 hours

  • If the meeting exceeds 2 hours, recording stops at the limit and only the first 2 hours will be transcribed and summarized

Tips for clearer transcripts:

  • Record in a quiet space

  • Use an external microphone when possible

  • Speak clearly and introduce participants by name

  • Inform attendees that the session is being recorded



Invite the Notetaker to an Online Meeting

Use this when your meeting already has a Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet link.

How to invite the Notetaker:

  1. Go to Meetings → Recordings

  2. Select Add to video call

  3. Paste the meeting URL

  4. Click Start recording

The Notetaker joins the call, captures the conversation in real time, and produces the transcript and summary afterward.

Full details on join behavior are covered in: When the Notetaker joins a meeting (rules & expectations)



Upload an Existing Recording

Upload audio or video files from any platform if you already have a recording.

How to upload:

  1. Go to Meetings → Recordings

  2. Click Upload audio or video

  3. (Optional) Link the file to a calendar event

  4. Choose your audio/video file (max size: 1 GB)

  5. Click Import meeting

Fyxer will process the file and generate the transcript and summary.



After the Meeting

Once processing finishes - regardless of recording method - you'll receive:

  • A searchable transcript

  • A structured meeting summary

  • Summary style options (executive, chronological, sales-focused, etc.)

  • Editing tools (expand, shorten, regenerate)

  • PDF export and Copy to clipboard

  • Chat with Transcript to quickly find answers

All outputs appear in your dashboard under: Meetings → Recordings
