    In-person Recording (Live)#

    Use in-person recording when you are in the same room as the participants and want to start a live recording directly in Meetric. Microphone audio is always recorded and you can optionally add screen or camera video.

    1. Go to Conversations and click New Conversation
    2. Select the In-person tab
    3. Enter a meeting title and set date/time
    4. Select Department and Conversation Type before starting the recording
    5. Choose a video source (Mic only, Screen + mic or Camera + mic)
    6. Click Start recording and keep the tab open while recording
    7. Click Stop when finished and wait for the upload to finalize

    Tip

    If your question uses the word "live", it can mean either an in-person recording (started from the In-person tab) or a live video call recorded by the Meeting Bot. If you tell me which one you mean, I can point you to the exact steps.

    Warning

    Always inform participants that the meeting is being recorded. Many jurisdictions require consent for recording conversations.

    Meeting Bot Setup#

    The Meetric Meeting Bot is an AI assistant that joins your video calls, records them and extracts insights automatically.

    Calendar Integration#

    Connect your calendar to enable automatic meeting detection:

    1. Navigate to Settings → Integrations
    2. Open the All Integrations tab and select your calendar provider integration

    4. Authorize Meetric to access your calendar events
    5. Configure which calendars to monitor

    Note

    Meetric only reads calendar events with video meeting links. Your private events and details remain private.

    Condition: Meeting title contains "client" OR "demo" OR "prospect"
    Action: Auto-join and enable high-quality recording
    Notification: Email summary within 5 minutes of meeting end

    2. Click "Edit speakers"
    3. Reassign transcript lines to the correct speaker or participant and optionally rename or merge speaker labels

    Note

    Speaker edits improve who each line is attributed to. They do not edit transcript wording directly and do not add a manual summary edit mode.

    Sharing & Exporting#

    Share conversations with team members or export data for external use.

    Internal Sharing#

    Share conversations with your team members:

    Direct Share

    Add team members who can view and comment

    Warning

    Internal access follows Conversation Privacy rules. Private conversations remain owner-only, and grace periods delay sharing until the grace window has elapsed.

    External Sharing#

    Share conversation highlights with external stakeholders:

    1. Open the conversation you want to share
    2. Click "Share"
    3. Generate a link and choose access level:

    Managing Conversations#

    Organize, filter and maintain your conversation library.

    Organization in Conversations#

    Use metadata and filters to keep conversations organized:

    • Department and Conversation Type: Keep records grouped by team context and conversation classification
    • Owner, Company and Team: Narrow the list to the people/accounts you need to review
    • Date Range and Saved Views: Reuse common slices of data for repeat reporting and audits
    • Privacy State: Use private/open visibility state in combination with filters when reviewing access scope

    Bulk Actions#

    Perform actions on multiple conversations at once:

    • Select multiple conversations using checkboxes
    • Review how many items are selected in the bulk selection bar
    • Use Clear Selection to reset current multi-select state
    • Use Delete to remove selected conversations in one action
    Conversations page bulk selection bar with delete action
    When one or more conversations are selected, a bulk actions bar appears with Clear Selection and Delete

    Archiving & Deleting#

    Manage your conversation library lifecycle:

    Archive

    Hide from main view but keep data

    Impact: Conversation moved to archive, recoverable anytime

    Delete

    Permanently remove conversation

    Impact: Recording, transcript and insights deleted after 30-day grace period

    Warning

    Deleted conversations can be recovered from trash for 30 days. After that, all data is permanently removed and cannot be recovered.
