Meeting recordings start playing where people begin to talk
For everyone who works with an AI employee
Part of Meeting notes name more speakers and cover long calls
Your AI employee often joins a call before anyone speaks, so a saved recording can open with a minute or more of quiet. Play now starts at the first spoken line, and the recording shows when the talk begins.
Why it matters
When the first minutes of a recording are quiet, pressing Play sounds as if nothing was recorded. Starting where people talk lets you hear the meeting at once and trust that the whole conversation was kept.
- Before
- Play always started at the very beginning, so you could sit through up to a few minutes of quiet before the first voice and think the recording was empty.
- Now
- The meeting player waits at the first spoken line, names the minute and second where the talk begins, and Play starts there.
What you get
- Starts where people talk: when a saved recording opens with more than a few seconds of quiet, Play begins just before the first spoken line.
- Shows when the talk begins: the recording names the minute and second of the first words, and the position already waits there before you press Play.
- The opening is still there: drag the position back to the start to hear the quiet minutes too, and every line of the transcript still plays on its own.
- Also on a second listen: after the recording has played to its end, Play starts again at the first spoken line, not at the quiet opening.
How to use it
In Voice Meetings, when you open a saved meeting from History and listen to its recording on the Transcript tab.
