Record any conversation directly from the Noota web app, perfect for interviews, in-person sessions, user research, podcasts, coaching calls, and more.
Live Recording gives you full control over the meeting setup, recording, pausing, stopping, and using real-time guidelines. Everything is captured and synced automatically.
1. What is Live Recording?
Live Recording lets you capture audio-only recordings directly from your browser, without needing the Desktop App or Meeting Assistant bot.
It is ideal when:
You’re meeting in person
You’re recording someone speaking in the same room
You’re running interviews or workshops where screen capture is not needed
You want full manual control over recording start/stop
2. How to Start a Live Recording
Step 1 - Open the Live Recording page
Go to Dashboard → Live Recording
Step 2 - Add meeting details
The setup modal includes:
Meeting title
You can name the session (e.g., “Interview with Jason”).
Number of speakers
Set the number of participants for diarization accuracy.
Language
Choose the language spoken in the meeting.
Meeting template
Select the summary template Noota should apply after the recording.
Default microphone
Choose which microphone Noota should use (internal mic, headset, external USB mic, etc.).
When ready, click:
👉 Start Recording
3. Recording Interface
Once the recording begins, you’ll see:
A large animated recording visual
A timer
Controls to pause, stop, or open guidelines
4. Using Guidelines During Recording
Guidelines allow you to follow a structured script or checklist during the conversation.
Click Select guideline → choose your template.
You can switch templates anytime using Change template.
You can:
Check off items as you go
Follow the interview flow
Add new questions (if the template supports it)
This is especially useful for HR, coaching, product interviews, and structured assessments.
5. Pause & Resume Recording
You can pause the recording at any moment.
While paused:
The timer stops
No audio is captured
You can resume anytime by clicking Resume Recording
6. Stop Recording
When you click Stop, a confirmation modal appears to avoid accidental termination.
Click Confirm if the recording is finished.
Noota will then:
Upload the audio
Process transcription
Generate your summary
Apply your selected template
You will access the transcription page once processing is complete.
7. Troubleshooting
❗Microphone not detected

Move closer to the mic
Use a headset or external microphone
Reduce background noise
❗Recording does not start
Browser permissions blocked

Try selecting another guideline
8. Best Practices for High-Quality Live Recordings
