I would like to use my laptop to record meetings.?

Question

When I have client meetings I would like to be able to record the meeting and then listen to it at a later stage.

Do I need additional software?

Record Meetings On Laptop

Answer 3

For audio you can use any recording software like Sound Recorder. Make sure that the laptop has a built in mic to record, or else, you need an external mic. Make sure that you click on the Record/Continue button at tne end of every minute as by default, it records only 60 seconds at a time.
Other options available are Goldwave and Audacity.

Answer 4

Of Course You Can...

If you want to record your meeting to a wave file using Audio Record, then you need more space to your Hard Drive, but if you use Audio Editor Software, then you can use a mp3 file which is better for your Hard Drive...

Guide:
Set your microphone as primary source of recording at Control Panel \ Sounds and Audio Devices \ Audio \ Sound Recording Section - Click Volume - and Select Microphone

Be sure that your Audio Device is working, otherwise you can't record...

Answer 5

Yes, ideally you need a audio recording software. Try Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/. Its free and it should serve your purpose. I allows you to save the recording as mp3 or other compressed format.

If you have Microsoft One note, it allows you to record a audio clip as well.

Answer 6

Good answers on here. Can I just add, before any legal nit-pickers get at you, I believe you're supposed to make sure that anyone you're recording is aware of it and agrees. You are in the UK, anyway.

Answer 7

Well

Bye Bye
