This guide walks you through installing the Desktop App and recording your first meeting.

Drag Fyxer Notetaker into Applications
Launch the app
If macOS blocks it, see: Troubleshooting Notetaker Desktop App installation
Step 3: Install on Windows

Launch from your Start Menu
Step 4: Choose Visible or Invisible Mode
Fyxer offers two recording modes:

You can update this anytime in your Notetaker settings.
Step 5: Join or Start a Meeting

When you join a supported meeting platform, it can detect the call automatically.
You'll see a floating menu where you can:

Step 6: Confirm Recording Consent
Before recording begins, Fyxer requires confirmation that participants have been notified.
You'll see a checkbox like:
I hereby confirm I have notified the attendees of the meeting that it is being recorded and transcribed.
Fyxer can also:
Post a message in the meeting chat automatically
Or provide text you can copy/paste if chat posting is disabled
Step 7: View Your Notes and Summary
After the meeting:
