Where to put your phone for a clear meeting recording

Lay the phone flat in the middle of the table, screen up, as close as you can to the quietest speaker. Distance matters more than anything else.

  1. Put the phone flat in the middle of the table, between the speakers, screen up.
  2. Move it towards whoever speaks softly. The quietest person should be as close to the phone as possible.
  3. Keep it away from fans, air conditioners, laptops and cups being put down.
  4. Leave MeetNotes open on screen while you record.

Tips for a big room

  • For a long table, the middle seat is better than one end.
  • If people take turns presenting, a phone near the presenter catches them better than one far away.
  • Don't put the phone in a pocket or a bag. Fabric muffles every voice.

On a call at the same time?

On Android, a phone or WhatsApp call takes the microphone away from every other app, so MeetNotes hears silence while it lasts. End the call first. For online meetings, send the notetaker instead.
