Why didn't the Notetaker Desktop App record my meeting?

Updated over a week ago

If a meeting didn't record, it's usually due to one of these common causes.


Common Recording Failure Causes

The App Wasn't Running

The Desktop App must be open before the meeting starts.

You Weren't Authenticated

Make sure you are signed into the Desktop App.

You Aren't Part of an Organization

Desktop recording requires an active organization membership.

If your account is not affiliated with a team/org, recording may fail.

Your Mode Is Set to Visible (Bot Enabled)

If the Notetaker is configured to join meetings visibly, the Desktop App will not record invisibly.

Check your Notetaker mode:

  • Visible Mode → Bot joins

  • Invisible Mode → Desktop App records

Consent Was Not Confirmed

Recording will not start until you check the consent box confirming participants have been notified.

Meeting Chat Notification Settings Blocked Recording

If automatic chat disclosure is disabled, Fyxer will provide a message for you to paste manually.

Unsupported Meeting Platform

Only Zoom, Meet, Teams, and Slack (audio-only) are supported today.


How to Verify Recording Is Working

  1. Open the Notetaker Desktop App

  2. Join a supported call

  3. Confirm the consent checkbox

  4. Look for the floating recording controls

  5. Check your Dashboard → Recorded for the meeting afterward
