Recording in the background

Reading Time: about 2 min.; Last Updated: 2026-08-01 12:17:58

You don't need to keep Meetfy open and your screen on for the entire meeting. Recording continues reliably in the background.

How it works

  1. Start a recording as usual. See Recording a meeting.
  2. Lock your screen or switch to another app, the recording keeps running.
  3. A persistent notification (Android) or the recording indicator (iOS) confirms it's still active.
  4. Return to Meetfy anytime to check progress or stop the recording.

Why this matters

Meetings often involve switching apps, checking notes, joining a video call, glancing at a document. Meetfy's background recording means none of that interrupts your audio capture.

Good to know

  • A visible privacy indicator stays on screen or in your notifications the entire time audio is being recorded, so it's always clear a recording is in progress.
  • Background recording uses extra battery. If you're running low, consider Meetfy's energy-saving preference. See Recording and privacy preferences.

Troubleshooting

  • Recording stopped unexpectedly : Some devices aggressively restrict background apps to save battery. Check your device's battery-optimization settings and allow Meetfy to run in the background.
