# first meeting

> record, review, save

the recommended flow on macos:

1. **start** a session (`⌘⇧R`)
2. **talk** normally - transcript and insights update live
3. **stop** when you want to review (`⌘⇧R` again)
4. **review** transcript, notes, and insights
5. **resume** if needed (same session, no duplicate meeting)
6. **save** (`⌘S`) when finished
7. the saved meeting opens automatically in history
8. **export** markdown or **send to attio** (saved meetings only)

## step by step (macos)

### 1. pick your audio sources

on the home screen, toggle:

* **microphone** - records your voice
* **system audio** - records the other side of a call

most users want both on.

<Tip>
  click **test audio** before recording to verify both sources are being captured.
</Tip>

### 2. pick a language (optional)

defaults to english. pick any of the [11 supported languages](/docs/reference/languages) from the dropdown before you start. transcription, insights, and filler word detection all adapt.

<Tip>
  before an important call, add company jargon to the [personal dictionary](/docs/features/transcription#personal-dictionary) in settings so product names and acronyms land correctly in the live transcript.
</Tip>

### 3. start recording

click the start button or press `⌘⇧R`. you'll see:

* your mic captioned as **"you"** (green)
* system audio captioned as **"speaker 1"**, **"speaker 2"**, etc. (blue)
* summary, action items, topics, and discussion flow updating live on the right

### 4. stop, review, save

press `⌘⇧R` again to stop. the session enters a **stopped** state where you can:

* review transcript, notes, and insights
* **resume** (`⌘⇧R`) to keep going in the same session
* **save** (`⌘S`) to commit it to history
* **discard** (`⌘⌫`) to throw it away

### 5. after saving

the saved meeting opens in history. you can:

* switch between [insight modes](/docs/features/ai-insights) with `⌘1` / `⌘2` / `⌘3` / `⌘4` / `⌘5`
* edit the title and notes
* **copy to markdown** from any section header
* **send to attio** (see [attio integration](/docs/integrations/attio))
* regenerate insights with **update**

## ios

1. open the app
2. tap record
3. talk - the dynamic island shows a recording dot and timer; the lock screen shows the live transcript
4. tap stop
5. review, save, or discard

ios records mic only - system audio capture is a macos feature.
