Quick summary
You can record meetings using:

The Coffee desktop app
Third-party recorders connected via Zapier
1. Web app recorder (automatic)
Use the recorder built directly into Coffee’s web app.
Coffee automatically joins and records your meetings by default.

Ideal if you want a fully hands-off setup and want to record audio and video
Turn it off if needed:
If you don’t want Coffee to auto-join meetings, you can disable this behavior.

2. Desktop app recorder
Use Coffee’s desktop application to record meetings directly from your computer.
Download and install the Coffee desktop app.
Click the popup to start recording when prompted right before a meeting
Useful if you don't want others to see a recorder in meetings, and you are fine just recording audio.
👉 Learn more about how to download and use the desktop app from your Coffee dashboard.
3. Record meetings through Zapier (external tools)
Use third-party meeting recorders and send recordings to Coffee via Zapier.
Works with tools like Fathom, Gong, Granola, Grain, Fireflies and any other meeting recorder that's compatible with Zapier.
Great if you already use another recorder and want to keep your workflow.
Zapier sends transcripts to Coffee automatically at the end of every meeting.
