Record a browser meeting

Start

1. Join the meeting in a Chrome tab.
2. On that tab, click the meaty icon. This click is what allows Chrome to share the tab's audio — it has to happen on the meeting tab itself.
3. The panel reads Ready · mic ✓ · will capture: followed by the tab's title. Check it's the right tab.
4. Pick what to record: - Mic + tab (default) — your voice and everyone on the call. - Mic — only your microphone.
5. Start recording.

While you record

• Pause and resume from the panel.
• Closing the panel doesn't stop the recording. The meaty icon shows a REC badge, and a small handle on the right edge of the page reopens the panel.
• You keep hearing the call normally.

Start from your meaty library instead

On meaty.me, click Record → A meeting. meaty lists your open tabs; pick the meeting. Then it asks for one more step — click the meaty icon on the meeting tab to approve capturing it.

Meetings in desktop apps

The extension can only record meetings running in a Chrome tab. A call in the Zoom or Teams desktop app can't be captured — join from the browser instead, record with your phone, or use the desktop app.

Weak or no connection

Recordings are kept in Chrome until they upload, so a dropped connection doesn't lose them. Incognito windows can't keep that copy: there, meaty needs a connection to record.

Limits

The same plan limits apply as everywhere — on the free plan a single recording can run 30 minutes, plus a five-minute countdown. See Plans and minutes.
