The Vinyl mobile app makes it easy to capture in-person meetings and generate notes, transcripts, and action items automatically.
⚠️ In-person recording is only available through the Vinyl mobile app. It isn't possible to record an in-person meeting from the web browser. If you're having trouble logging into the app, you'll need to resolve that first — see Resetting your account on the Vinyl Mobile App for help.
Start a new recording
You've got two quick ways to begin:
From the Home screen: Tap the red Record button to start a new meeting instantly.
From an upcoming meeting: Tap into any scheduled meeting and select Record to start capturing notes linked to that session.
Before recording starts, Vinyl will walk you through a short setup screen. You can skip this if you're in a hurry — it won't affect the capture.
Open the Vinyl mobile app
From the home screen, tap the Record button
Enter a meeting title (optional but recommended)
Tap Start Recording
If prompted, allow access to your microphone so Vinyl can capture audio. Once recording starts, Vinyl will begin capturing audio immediately.
Pause and resume recording
If needed, you can pause the recording at any time:
Tap Pause to temporarily stop recording
Tap Resume to continue
This is useful for breaks or off-the-record discussions. Recording will pause automatically if you receive a phone call. You'll need to manually resume it once the call ends.
Finish and review
When your meeting ends:
Tap Stop Recording
Give the meeting a name (if you haven't already)
Add attendees (if you haven't already)
Tap Save Audio Recording
You'll find everything in your Vinyl mobile or web dashboard — full summaries, transcripts, and action items. You can assign speaker names to parts of the transcript and share notes with your team or clients in just a few taps.
Tips
For best audio quality, stay close to your phone and speak clearly. Background noise is filtered during processing.
Turn on Do Not Disturb to avoid interrupting your recording.
Don't lock your screen during a recording to make sure it saves properly.
