Recording and privacy preferences

A few preferences shape how recording behaves by default, so you don't have to reconfigure them for every meeting.

Available preferences

  1. Default audio source : on Android, choose whether recordings capture your microphone, system audio (the other side of an online call), or both, by default. iOS always uses the microphone.
  2. Energy saver : choose whether Meetfy automatically reduces recording quality to save battery when your device is running low, always favors battery life, or never adjusts automatically.
  3. Speaker labeling : turn on speaker labeling if you'd like recordings processed in a way that distinguishes between different speakers.

Change your preferences

  1. Open the Settings tab.
  2. Find the recording preferences.
  3. Adjust the audio source, energy saver mode and speaker-labeling toggle to your liking.

Good to know

  • These are defaults you can still pick a different audio source for an individual recording from the recording screen itself.
  • A visible recording indicator is always shown whenever audio is actively being recorded, regardless of your other preferences, so it's never unclear when recording is on.
  • Energy saver only affects recording quality settings, not whether background recording works; see Recording in the background.
