Weak or no connection

Every recording is also saved on your phone as it goes, so a bad connection never loses it.

• No connection at all: recording still works. When you stop, meaty says Recording saved on this device — it will upload when you're back online.
• The upload starts by itself when the connection comes back, or when you open meaty again. You can also tap it in Pending uploads to retry.
• Private browsing can't keep a copy on the phone, so it needs a connection to record.

When you stop

meaty shows Making sense of it while it transcribes and writes the notes. You can start a new recording straight away. The finished meeting appears in your library — see How notes are made.

Limits

• Free plan: a single recording can run 30 minutes. At that point a countdown appears — Free plan — recording ends in… — and after five more minutes the recording stops and is saved.
• Out of minutes: a new recording can't start, and meaty points you to your plan. A recording already running is never cut off for minutes.

See Plans and minutes for the details.
