Meeting Detection

Meeting Detection watches for the moment a meeting or call app starts using your microphone and offers a one-click prompt to start recording - so you never miss the opening minutes of a call.

What It Detects

Silkwave Voice notices when a known meeting or conferencing app begins capturing your microphone. Supported apps include:

• Zoom
• Microsoft Teams
• Webex
• Slack (huddles)
• Discord
• Calls running in a browser - such as Google Meet or Zoom on the web - across Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, Vivaldi, Chromium, Firefox, Safari, and Dia.

The Recording Prompt

When a meeting is detected, a small notification slides in from the top-right corner of your screen:

• A Meeting detected heading (or Huddle detected for Slack), with the name of the app.
• A Start Recording button. Clicking it immediately begins a recording that captures both your microphone and the meeting's system audio.
• A language row - click Change to pick a different transcription language for this one recording, overriding your default.

The prompt floats above full-screen meeting windows and still appears while Do Not Disturb or a Focus is on. It is hidden from screen recording and screen sharing, so participants never see it while you present. If you don't act, it dismisses itself after a minute; you can also close it with the ✕ in its corner. Starting a recording another way - from the menu bar or the main window - dismisses it too.

Settings

Open Settings → Meeting Detection to configure the feature:

• Meeting Detection - turn the whole feature on or off. It's on by default.
• Warn Before Quitting - shows a confirmation when you quit Silkwave Voice (⌘Q), since detection stops working while the app isn't running. Available when detection is on.
• Default Recording Language - the transcription language used when you start a recording from a detection prompt. You can still override it per-meeting from the prompt itself.

Keep the App Running

Silkwave Voice needs to stay running to watch for meetings - the main window can be closed, but quitting the app stops detection until you open it again. That's what the Warn Before Quitting option guards against.
