Record an in-person meeting

Record everyone in the room through the microphone and turn what is said into text.

  • For: All members
  • About 3 min

What you need

  • Open GIJITO in a browser on a computer, or in the GIJITO desktop app (the app you install on your computer).
  • Use the computer’s microphone, or a microphone connected to the computer.

Steps

Press Start recording

Step 1 of 6

Recording in the desktop app

In the GIJITO desktop app, pressing Start recording opens the Start the meeting window straight away, without the How are you meeting? window or the browser’s microphone prompt.

Choose In-person meeting, check the Spoken language and press Start recording to start recording. The app connects the microphone. From there, steps 5 and 6 are the same.

The first time you record, allow the microphone when your computer asks. To install the app, see Install the desktop app and sign in.

When you finish

What was said is saved as a transcript, and you can go straight on to create the minutes.

If something does not work

Nothing said becomes text

Press the microphone button at the bottom of the screen and check that Microphone shows connected. If Connect appears, press it.

To use another microphone, open Advanced settings with the gear button at the bottom of the screen, choose it under Microphone and press Done.

For how to fix it, see Fix missing audio or interrupted recording.

A message says microphone access is blocked

It appears when the microphone was not allowed in the browser. Allow the microphone as the message says, then press Start setup again.

In the desktop app, allow the microphone for GIJITO in your computer’s settings. Fix missing audio or interrupted recording shows how.

A message says the microphone was not found or cannot be used

Reconnect the microphone. If you use the computer’s own microphone, check that it is turned on.

If another app (such as Teams) is using the microphone, close that app.

Then press Connect again in the message, or Start setup.

The ‘How are you meeting?’ window does not appear

If you once ticked Don't show this again, the Start the meeting window opens without it.

Choose In-person meeting there, and if Connect appears next to Microphone, press it. When your browser asks to use the microphone, allow it as in step 3.

The desktop app does not show this window.

A message says this month’s transcription time is used up

While this message is shown, a new recording cannot start. To check what is left, see Check what is left this month and your AI credits.

If the time runs out during a recording, you get an extension of up to 60 minutes. The end time is shown on the screen, and the recording stops automatically at that time. The transcript up to then is saved.
