#How to Enable the Meeting Recording Feature

Go to your settings, then click on Meetings, and make sure "Enable meeting notes" is turned on.

As shown in the image above, this function is operating normally.

If this is your first time opening it, you'll need to configure permissions:

#1. Screen & System audio recording

Click to allow, navigate to system settings, then confirm that the permission for AFFiNE is enabled.

If the app is open, it will prompt you to restart it. Click 'Quit & Restart' to update permissions.

#2. Microphone

The permission settings for the Microphone are the same as those above; similarly, you need to ensure that your permission is enabled for the Microphone.

Please note that permission changes require a restart app.

#How to Use the Meeting Recording Feature

Once you enable the meeting recording feature, AFFiNE will automatically notify you by default that the meeting is in progress, provided it is running in the foreground.

When a meeting begins, you will see a notification like this in the top right corner of the screen, as shown above. After clicking Start, you can begin recording the meeting.

If you wish to record automatically, you can select "Auto start recording" in the settings.

Once the meeting recording is complete, AFFiNE will automatically generate a transcript of the meeting. Additionally, leveraging AI capabilities, AFFiNE will automatically summarize the meeting content and list action items. You can configure this feature specifically in the settings.

#FAQs

#How is the price of this feature calculated?

Currently, this feature is still in the testing phase, and the text generation and AI functionalities are free.It has nothing to do with whether you purchase an AI membership.

However, please note that attachment sizes are still limited by the attachment size allowed for Pro permissions. This means that when you upload large attachments, you might not be able to sync the content to AFFiNE Cloud, nor will you be able to perform speech-to-text processing.

#Can I use it to transcribe other content?

Yes, you can uploadaudio file attachments in any format, select 'embed view,' and once uploaded to AFFiNE Cloud (or other self-hosted versions that support this feature), it can perform speech-to-text processing. Furthermore, it will follow the meeting settings to summarize and identify action items.

Additionally, after transcription, you can easily retrieve the text using the search function. We believe this is an excellent way to manage audio content within a knowledge base.

#Can the self-host version use this feature?

We don't yet have full support for AI features in the self-hosted version, so unfortunately, this feature is also not supported.

However, the good news is that the community has successfully deployed AI-enabled versions of AFFiNE Self-host, so you can seek help within the community.

#Will there be a Windows version?

Not yet. The Windows version has some API issues that we are currently working on. If you specifically need to use this feature on Windows, please leave us a message on Discord. More feedback will help us develop the Windows version faster.
