The Vinyl mobile app makes it easy to capture in-person meetings and generate notes, transcripts, and action items automatically. Whether you're sharing the full meeting summary or just highlighting a few key points, the mobile app gives you flexible options to share exactly what you need even when you’re away from your desk.
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)
Click Save Audio Recording
You’ll find everything in your Vinyl mobile or web dashboard:
View full summaries, transcripts, and action items
Assign speaker names to parts of the transcript, either on mobile or online
Share the 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.
Do not lock your screen during a recording to make sure your recording’s saved properly.
