Install the Notetaker desktop app and record your first meeting

Setup steps for desktop recording.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

This guide walks you through installing the desktop app and recording your first meeting.


Step 1: download the app


Step 2: install on Mac

  1. Open the downloaded .dmg

  2. Drag Fyxer Notetaker into Applications

  3. Launch the app


Step 3: install on Windows

  1. Open the .exe installer

  2. Follow the setup steps

  3. Launch from your Start Menu


Step 4: join or start a meeting

Once installed, the app runs quietly in your menu bar.

Go to settings to customize how Notetaker behaves. Here, you will see a setting to auto-detect meetings.

  • If this is toggled on (the default setting), Notetaker will automatically detect and join online meetings, such as Meet, Zoom, Teams, and Slack calls

  • If you turn this off, Notetaker won't join online meetings, but you can still use it for in-person ones

When you join a supported meeting platform, it can detect the call automatically.

You'll see a floating menu where you can:

  • Pause

  • Stop

  • Hide the recording indicator


Step 5: confirm recording consent

Before recording begins, Fyxer requires confirmation that participants have been notified.

You'll see a checkbox asking you to confirm you have notified the attendees that the meeting 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

For more information, see: Consent when using the Notetaker desktop app.


Step 6: view your notes and summary

After the meeting:

  • Audio is uploaded securely

  • Transcript and summary appear in your Dashboard → Recorded

  • Recaps may also be emailed, depending on your Notetaker settings
