Recording Meetings
Meeting mode captures system audio from video calls (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex) along with your microphone. Cadeo automatically creates a meeting note linked to the calendar event.
Starting a Meeting Recording
- Open a calendar event
- Click Start Recording in the meeting recording panel
- Grant microphone and screen/system audio permissions if prompted
- Join your video call — Cadeo captures everything
The Floating Recording Bar
If you close the event modal while recording, a compact floating recording bar appears in the bottom-right corner so you can keep recording without staying in the modal.
Compact view shows:
- Red blinking recording indicator
- Elapsed time counter
- Live audio waveform
- Stop button
Click to expand and see:
- Meeting title
- Back to Event — return to the event modal
- Stop — end the recording
Stopping a Meeting Recording
Click Stop in the floating bar or in the event modal. Cadeo then:
- Uploads the recording
- Starts transcription automatically
- Links the recording to the calendar event's meeting note

After recording a meeting, you'll have:
- A meeting note linked to the calendar event
- An audio/video recording with playback controls

- AI meeting intelligence — summary, key points, action items, and decisions
