The recording came out silent, but people were talking

On Android, a phone or WhatsApp call in progress takes the microphone away from every other app. End the call before recording. A fully silent recording is never charged.

  1. Make sure no phone call or WhatsApp call is running while you record.
  2. Check MeetNotes has microphone permission in your phone's settings.
  3. Record again with the phone on the table and MeetNotes open on screen.

Why it happens

On Android, a call takes the microphone away from every other app, so MeetNotes hears only silence for as long as the call lasts.

If the meeting is a call

Put it on speaker and record from a second phone, or send the notetaker into the online call.

A recording that is silent from start to finish is never charged.
