Parley Notes for Windows and Mac hears your microphone and the computer's sound at the same time. That's both sides of any call, with any meeting app, even with headphones on. Nothing joins the meeting and nothing is added to the call.
Before the call
- Open Parley Notes and go to Record.
- Under Audio source, keep Mic + system audio.
- Press Record before the call starts or let a meeting reminder open the Record page for you with the meeting's name filled in.
Tell people you're recording and check they're OK with it.
During the call
With Move aside during calls on, the window slides to the edge of the screen, stays on top and shows your live insights. People you share your screen with don't see it.
On paid plans, the Record page shows live insights as the call goes: what's still open from last time, what has changed and questions worth asking, all drawn from your own notes. You can ask a question without stopping the recording. See Live insights and the live transcript.
When does it stop?
When you press Stop or when the recording reaches the length under Stop recording after in Settings. The note is written either way: the summary, the decisions, the action items with their owners and the full transcript, with each side of the call separated.
Speaker separation on the computer handles recordings up to 25 minutes; longer calls still come back labelled by side (you and the other party).
What audio is captured?
Everything the computer plays and everything the microphone hears. Parley Notes can't single out one app so if music is playing during the call, it's in the recording too. A Bluetooth headset in a call is captured natively, both your voice and the other party.
If the other side is silent in the recording, check that the meeting app is playing through the default output device or pick a different output in your system's sound settings before you record.
