On mobile you can also take photos during the recording, and the recording keeps working with poor signal. ## Recording on your phone 1. On the **Home** tab of the [mobile app](/guides/mobile-app.md), tap **Record Meeting**. 2. Enter a title, pick the **Project** and language, and tap **Start Meeting**. While recording, the screen shows a timer and a live waveform, and stays awake: * Tap the camera to take photos during the meeting. They attach to the meeting and appear on its page afterward. * Pause and resume whenever you step out. * Tap **End Meeting** when you are done. The recording uploads and Cogram drafts the minutes; with no signal, the upload waits until you are back online (see [Working Offline](/guides/working-offline.md)). If the app closes mid-recording, nothing is lost: on reopening it shows "Unsaved recording", and you choose **Keep & Save** or **Discard**.

Recording an in-person meeting

Once processed, the meeting's page on your phone shows the summary and bullet notes, and the full minutes are on the [Meetings page](https://app.cogram.com/dashboard/meetings/) on the web. **Save Recording** on the meeting page shares the raw audio file if you ever need it. {% hint style="info" %} Cogram detects different speakers by voice and labels them "Speaker 1", "Speaker 2", and so on. It typically needs at least 30 seconds of speech from a person to identify them reliably. You can name the speakers afterward (below). {% endhint %} ## Recording from your browser Meeting in a conference room with a laptop? Open [Meetings > In Person](https://app.cogram.com/dashboard/meetings/in-person) in the web app, set the meeting name and language, and click **Start Meeting**.

Starting an in-person meeting from the web app

Grant Cogram microphone access when your browser asks. Cogram transcribes the conversation and drafts minutes when you click **End Meeting**. ## Naming speakers After a meeting is completed, open it on the web and scroll to **Participants** in the Overview section. Click a speaker's name to rename them. Cogram then offers **Regenerate Notes** to update the minutes and summaries with the real names. ## Related * [Cogram on Your Phone](/guides/mobile-app.md): installing the app and signing in. * [Create a Field Report on Site](/guides/field-reports.md): documenting a site visit with observations and photos. * [Downloading, Sharing, and Templates](/guides/downloading-sharing-and-templates.md): exporting the finished minutes. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.cogram.com/guides/in-person-meetings.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
