Feature Description
Simple screen recording for meetings
Problem Statement
Meetily currently records live transcript, but transcript alone is not enough for meetings where important context is shown on screen.
In many meetings, users share:
- product demos
- dashboards
- documents
- slides
- technical walkthroughs
After the meeting, users may want to review what was shown, not just what was said. Right now, that visual context is missing.
Proposed Solution
Add a simple screen recording feature in the Meetily desktop app.
When a meeting is being captured, Meetily should also be able to record the user’s screen and attach that recording to the same meeting session.
After the meeting, the user should be able to:
- see that a screen recording is available
- play the screen recording from the meeting page
- access the recording together with the transcript
This keeps the feature focused and simple, without trying to support advanced video production workflows.
User Story
As a Meetily user,
I want to record my screen during a meeting,
So that I can later review the visual context along with the transcript.
Acceptance Criteria
Technical Considerations
- This feature should focus on simple screen recording only
- Decide whether to record:
- full screen
- selected window
- OS-level screen recording permissions will be required
- Need to define video format and storage strategy
- Need to handle large file sizes for longer meetings
- Need to handle recovery behavior if the app crashes during recording
- Need to define whether recordings are stored locally, uploaded, or both
- Should work alongside the existing live transcript flow without disrupting it
Alternatives Considered
-
Transcript only
Keeps the product simple, but misses visual meeting context.
-
Full video meeting recorder
More powerful, but adds much more complexity than needed for the initial version.
-
Audio-only recording
Helpful in some cases, but still does not capture demos, slides, or screen shares.
Additional Context
This feature is intended as a simple extension to Meetily’s live transcript capability.
The goal is not to build a full-featured meeting recorder initially, but to let users replay what was shown on screen for the same meeting they already have transcript for.
Possible future improvements:
- sync transcript with screen recording timestamps
- jump from transcript text to a moment in the recording
- clip important moments from the recording
