Steps
Press Float on top in a small window (pictured: the in-page small window)
TipIn a browser that cannot open a separate window, the small window appears at the lower right of the same page.
TipThe notices for a long silence or a long pause also appear in the small window, where you can press Keep recording or Keep paused right there.
TipYour choice stays the same the next time you open the small window in this browser.
TipIf you pressed it by mistake, press Keep recording: the recording goes on.
The two-bar button of the small window pauses and the triangle button resumes, as described in Pause, stop and automatic stop.
The desktop app’s small window
In the GIJITO desktop app, the same Float on top in a small window button opens the small window. While it is open, the main window is hidden; it comes back when you press the Back to main window button on the small window’s top bar, or close the small window.
The small window’s background is see-through, so the screen behind it shows. Press the See-through settings button on its top bar to turn See-through background off or to change Background opacity.
Drag the bar at its top to move it, and drag its edges to resize it. It opens again where you left it, at the same size.
While the recording is interrupted, Pause cannot be pressed in the small window. Press Back to main window and resume on the main window.
When you finish
You check the transcript in the small window while you use the meeting app, and end the recording from it when the meeting is over.
If something does not work
The small window shows at the lower right of the page instead of as a separate window
It opens as a separate window when the browser supports it, as Chrome and Edge on a computer do. In other browsers, or when it could not be opened, it appears at the lower right of the same page.
Shown in the page, it stays inside the tab and does not come in front of other apps. Meanwhile the recording screen’s control bar is hidden; press × to go back to the recording screen.
I cannot find the small window button
The small window disappeared
It closes when you stop the recording yourself, when you try to go from the recording screen to another screen, and when you close its window.
If the recording is still going on, press Float on top in a small window on the main screen again to reopen it.
I cannot change the text size or translation in the small window
The small window has no settings such as text size or translation. When it is a separate window, change them in the control bar of the main screen, and the small window follows.
When it is shown at the lower right of the page, press × to go back to the recording screen first, then change them.
The small window shows why the recording ended by itself
When the recording ends by itself, after a long silence or a long pause for example, a separate small window stays open and shows the reason and Go back to the main window to create the minutes.
Press Close the small window to close it, and create the minutes on the main screen. Each reason is explained in Recording stopped or was interrupted.
