Recording a meeting in the app

Record an in-person meeting from your phone. The app keeps recording when the screen locks, and offers back a recording that did not finish.

Updated 29 Oct 2026

Most client meetings happen across a table, not on a video call. The KretaOS app is built for that: put the phone in the middle of the table, tap Record, and KretaOS writes up the meeting afterwards.

Why record in the app

In a phone's browser, recording stops the moment the screen locks. The app records with the phone's own recorder instead, so it keeps going:

  • With the screen locked.
  • While you use other apps. On Android you see a Recording meeting notification the whole time.

For a long meeting, the app is the reliable choice.

If an older version of the app can't record in the background, it tells you while you record: "This app version can't record with the screen off — keep the screen on, or update the app." Keep the screen on for that meeting, and update the app from Google Play.

Record a meeting

  1. Tap Record at the top of the screen. The first time, allow the microphone.
  2. KretaOS reminds you: "Let the others know you're recording." Tap Record meeting to start. (Your admin can switch this reminder off.)
  3. Put the phone down and talk. You can Pause recording and Resume recording.
  4. Tap Stop when the meeting ends.
  5. Add a Title, the Client and Who was there — or tap Later and do it from Recordings.

After you stop, the app uploads the audio. Keep the app open until Uploading… finishes. KretaOS then writes up the notes, and you get a notification when they are ready.

Always start a recording yourself with a tap while the app is open. Nothing ever starts recording on its own.

If a recording does not finish

If the app was closed or the phone switched off before the upload finished, the recording is still on the phone. The next time you open the app it offers Unfinished recording with Keep and Dismiss:

  • Keep uploads it and carries on as normal.
  • Dismiss throws it away.

The audio file is deleted from your phone only after it has safely reached KretaOS.

Credits

A recorded meeting uses 1 AI credit for every 5 minutes recorded, charged once when the notes are written. You need at least 1 credit to start. If credits run out, the audio is kept and the notes start on their own once an admin adds credits on the web. See AI credits explained.
