You can record in-person meetings in Sembly without starting a conference call when everyone is in the same room. For clearer sound and better transcription, we recommend using a hardware device. You can also use your device’s built-in microphone.

The Audio Recorder is designed for in-person meetings. If you try to record an online meeting in another tab, your microphone probably won’t capture sound from the speakers. For a successful recording, don’t refresh the page or switch tabs, and keep your internet connection stable.

  1. Enter your Sembly account, click the Notes/Studio tab in the upper-left corner, click the + New Meeting on the upper-right side of the screen, and select Record Audio.

The Sembly My Meetings screen shows the New Meeting menu open; red arrows point to the Notes selector, New Meeting button, and Record audio option. Visible: Notes, Meetings & transcripts, My Meetings, New Meeting, Invite Sembly, Record audio.

Ensure that the default microphone in your browser settings is your device's microphone or the provided external microphone. 

If you use Safari, using the built-in microphone for recordings is preferable. If you connect an external microphone to your laptop or PC for an enhanced experience, we recommend using Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Edge to make recordings.
