Playing the recording

Every meeting opens as a note. The note has the summary, your own notes, the chapters and the transcript. The recording (the video or the sound) is in the panel on the right. This page explains only the recording.

The recording is in the right-hand panel, above the people who took part.

Open a note. The player is at the top of the right-hand panel, under Recording. On a phone, the player is at the top of the note.

Use the player​

The player has these controls:

  • Play / Pause: the button on the left.
  • The bar: drag the dot, or click on the bar, to go to another moment.
  • The time: how long the recording is.
  • Mute: the speaker button turns the sound off and on.
  • Full screen: the button on the right shows the video on the whole screen.

Under the player you see the length of the recording and Download. Click Download to save the file to your computer.

Play from a moment​

You do not need to search the recording by hand:

  • From the transcript: open the Transcript tab and click a line. The recording plays from the moment that line was said.
  • From the summary: many points in the summary end with a time, for example 01:57. Click it. ScribX opens the Transcript at that moment and plays the recording from there.

While the recording plays, the transcript line and the chapter that are playing are highlighted.

When there is nothing to play​

Some notes have no recording. The panel then shows a message instead of a player. The message says what happened:
