Mumble records meetings directly from your Mac. No bot joins the call. It works with Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, Slack, and any other platform that plays audio through your Mac.

Ways to start recording

There are several ways to start a meeting recording in Mumble.

From a calendar reminder

When you connect Google Calendar, Mumble sends you a system notification one minute before each meeting. The notification shows the meeting title, time, and participants. Click “Join meeting” to open the call and start recording.

From automatic detection

When Mumble detects a meeting app like Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams is active, a notification appears saying “Meeting Detected” with a countdown. Click “Record” to start, or “Cancel” to skip. If Auto Recording is enabled, Mumble starts recording automatically without waiting for you to click.

Record a new meeting

Click “New meeting” from the Home screen, the sidebar, or the top of the Meetings page to start a recording manually. This is useful for ad-hoc calls or in-person conversations that aren’t on your calendar.

From a calendar event

Click any upcoming meeting synced from Google Calendar to open its detail page, then click “Start recording.” This links the recording to that calendar event so the meeting title and participants carry over automatically.

Auto Recording

Auto Recording is on by default. When enabled, Mumble automatically starts and stops recording when meetings begin and finish, with a 10-second countdown before it begins. Turn it on in Settings > Meeting > Auto Recording.

How recording works

Mumble captures your microphone audio and system audio at the same time. This means it records both your voice and everything the other participants say through your speakers or headphones. No bot or extra participant joins the call.

Create upcoming meeting

Click the ”+” next to Meetings in the sidebar and choose “New upcoming meeting” to create one before it starts. Set the title, time, and participants. From the ”…” menu, you can choose a template for the meeting summary and sync the event to Google Calendar. When the meeting begins, Mumble will notify you to start recording. You can also open the meeting anytime and click “Start recording” manually.
