How to Record audio

1. Start recording mic audio

Open the TwinMind sidebar and click Capture Notes. This records your microphone only.

Use this when you just want to capture your own voice or an in-person conversation.

2. Also record a tab (meetings, videos, etc.)

If you switch to a tab that's playing sound (Google Meet, Zoom, YouTube, a podcast), a popup will ask if you want to record that tab too.

To say yes, click the TwinMind icon in your Chrome toolbar. You'll see the tab's icon appear next to the timer (for example, the Google Meet or YouTube icon). That means TwinMind is now recording both the tab and your microphone.

3. If only your microphone is being recorded

If you only see a microphone icon next to the timer, the other side of the call isn't being captured. Click the TwinMind toolbar icon while you're on that tab to add it.

4. End recording

If you click Stop, TwinMind stops capturing.

Quick summary

  • Click Capture Notes → records your microphone.

  • Popup appears on a tab with sound → TwinMind noticed audio.

  • Click the toolbar icon → records the tab and your microphone together.

What to do after capturing

Once you hit stop, you'll get a detailed summary, action items, and a full transcript on the web app.

  • Read your summary: TwinMind automatically generates a clear, organized summary of your conversation, highlighting key points and important information.

  • Play back your audio: If you've turned on Save Audio Data in Advanced Settings, you can replay the captured audio from any memory on the web app.


Pro Tip: Customize Your Summaries!

You can customize how TwinMind creates summaries by using custom instructions or templates. This lets you tailor the format and content to match your specific needs!
