5-Step Guide

How MeetCapture Works

From install to first captured meeting in under 5 minutes. A lightweight daemon handles everything behind the scenes.

Step 1

Install the Daemon

Lightweight binary, under 20MB

Download and install the MeetCapture daemon for your platform. It runs as a background service and auto-starts with your OS. No admin privileges required on macOS; a one-time UAC prompt on Windows.

Installbash

# macOS + Linux
curl -fsSL https://fluentko.com/install.sh | bash

# Windows (PowerShell)
iwr https://fluentko.com/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex

# Or grab a binary directly from GitHub Releases:
# https://github.com/fyrosofttech/meetcapture-releases/releases/latest

# Verify install
meetcapture --version
# meetcaptured 0.1.1

Step 2

Configure

One config file, sensible defaults

Edit the config.toml file in your MeetCapture data directory. Set your API key, choose which platforms to monitor, configure audio/video settings, and optionally enable cloud sync. Most settings have sensible defaults.

~/.meetcapture/config.tomltoml

# MeetCapture Configuration
[general]
api_key = "mc_live_abc123..."
output_dir = "~/.meetcapture/recordings"
log_level = "info"

[detection]
auto_detect = true
platforms = ["zoom", "teams", "meet", "slack"]
poll_interval_ms = 1000

[audio]
enabled = true
sample_rate = 48000

[video]
enabled = true
fps = 15
quality = "balanced"

[transcription]
enabled = true
provider = "deepgram"
model = "nova-2"
diarize = true

[cloud]
enabled = true
auto_upload = true

Step 3

Capture

Automatic meeting detection and recording

Once running, the daemon monitors your system for active meetings. When Zoom, Teams, Meet, Slack, or Webex is detected, it automatically begins capturing audio, recording video, and streaming to the transcription provider. You get a local notification and a system tray indicator.

[2026-04-05T11:01:24Z INFO] Transcript saved: 847 segments, 4 speakers

Step 4

Sync to Cloud

Automatic upload to Supabase

After the meeting ends, the daemon uploads the recording to Supabase Storage and inserts session metadata and transcript segments into PostgreSQL. Uploads are resumable, so large recordings survive network interruptions. All data is organized under your organization with RLS policies.

Step 5

Access Your Data

REST API, webhooks, or dashboard

Access your meeting data through the REST API, receive real-time webhook notifications, or use the web dashboard for playback and search. Since everything is stored in Supabase, you can also use any Supabase client library directly.

Fetch sessions via APIbash

# List recent sessions
curl -s https://xrhwfuquudleamotznzx.supabase.co/rest/v1/mc_sessions \
  -H "apikey: YOUR_ANON_KEY" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  | jq '.[] | {id, title, platform, duration_seconds, created_at}'

# Get transcript for a session
curl -s "https://xrhwfuquudleamotznzx.supabase.co/rest/v1/mc_transcript_segments?session_id=eq.session_abc123&order=start_ms" \
  -H "apikey: YOUR_ANON_KEY" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT" \
  | jq '.[] | {speaker, text, start_ms, end_ms}'

# Get signed URL for recording playback
curl -s "https://xrhwfuquudleamotznzx.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/sign/recordings/org_123/session_abc123.mp4" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT" \
  -d '{"expiresIn": 3600}'
