i can’t start recording / no transcript appears

  • check microphone permission in system settings → privacy & security → microphone
  • on macos, if using system audio, also check system audio recording permission
  • in byok mode, confirm your deepgram and openai keys are set in settings → account & plan → api keys
  • in managed mode, check for an error message on the home / recording screen (service availability or connection issue)

macos system audio is missing

  • make sure capture system audio is enabled in settings
  • confirm macos system audio permission is granted
  • try stopping and starting the session after granting permission

product names / acronyms are wrong in the transcript

  • add them to the personal dictionary in settings
  • when the meeting is linked to google calendar, the event title and attendee names also help recognition - see google calendar

you and remote speakers overlap / labels look mixed on macos

  • keep both microphone and system audio on so each stays on its own transcription channel
  • headphones reduce acoustic loopback (your voice bleeding into the system channel)

bluetooth headphones / audio devices changed and audio looks wrong

bluetooth devices (especially airpods) switch between two modes mid-call: a2dp for high-quality playback and hands-free (hfp/sco) when the mic is also in use. macos renegotiates sample rates, channel counts, and sometimes the default output device when this happens, which can cause the system-audio tap to briefly stop producing samples. v1.24.1 tightened the recovery path so the capture graph restarts automatically on more of these transitions.
  • the app auto-recovers after route / profile changes (for example airpods switching call modes, plugging in wired headphones, unplugging a usb interface, or airplay starting)
  • allow up to ~20 seconds for automatic system-audio recovery after a device switch - the app has to detect the route change, tear down the previous tap, and reattach to the new default device
  • if audio still looks stuck after that window, stop / resume the session or start a fresh session (⌘N) - the transcript you’ve captured so far is preserved
  • microphone capture usually recovers faster than system audio because it’s attached to a specific input, not the system default
  • for deeper diagnosis, open the debug log - route-change events and capture restarts are logged under app

ios: recording went silent after a phone call / siri / an alarm

ios suspends the microphone for any audio interruption. from v1.27.1 miniti listens for the end of the interruption and re-arms the mic automatically, retrying a few times with a short backoff if the first attempt fails. the same recovery runs when the audio route changes (headphones in or out).
  • on older versions the rest of the meeting recorded silence - update if you’re seeing this
  • if audio never comes back, the meeting auto-stops on the usual silence timeout and the transcript so far is saved
  • the debug log records interruptions and mic restarts under audio

the transcript stopped mid-meeting while people were still talking

the live transcription connection can drop without closing - audio keeps flowing out, no words come back.
  • miniti watches for this and reconnects on its own, keeping the same meeting and transcript (v1.27.1 also keeps retrying instead of giving up after the first few attempts, with a widening gap between tries so a bad network doesn’t get hammered)
  • expect a short gap in the transcript around the reconnect - audio captured during the drop isn’t recovered
  • if it can’t be recovered at all, the session auto-stops with live transcription stopped responding instead of the usual no-speech message

managed mode says limit reached / recording is blocked

  • free tier has a 500-minute monthly cap; pro has 5,000 minutes
  • upgrade to pro, switch to byok for unlimited usage, or wait for the monthly reset

macos says miniti was prevented from modifying apps during an update

choose install update again. affected older updater builds can fail on their first attempt, but the retry normally succeeds. once the corrected version is installed, future updates use the corrected updater. if the retry also fails, download the latest dmg from miniti.app, drag miniti to applications once, and reopen it. your meeting history and settings remain in place.

attio issues

  • “send to attio” is missing - enable it in settings → crm
  • can’t search - connect your attio account first, enter at least 2 characters, then click search attio
  • attio backend endpoints are not deployed yet - your backend deployment does not include attio routes yet
  • 0 tasks created - the meeting may not contain usable action items, or attio may accept the note but not create tasks from the parsed items

Twenty CRM issues

  • “send to Twenty” is missing - enable it in settings → crm
  • can’t connect - Twenty export currently supports Twenty Cloud. try connect again and approve access in Twenty
  • can’t search - connect your Twenty account first, enter at least 2 characters, then click search Twenty
  • 0 tasks created - the meeting may not contain usable action items, or Twenty may accept the note but reject one or more tasks

webhooks aren’t arriving

  • confirm the webhook url is correct in settings
  • check your receiver accepts POST with application/json and responds within 10 seconds with a 2xx
  • remember: no retries. if your endpoint is down, the delivery is lost.
  • check the debug log - webhook success / failure is logged under app

still stuck?
