Automate meeting capture

Mico can start an event-backed note at its scheduled time, remind you when another meeting app uses your microphone, and stop listening when the call ends.

Start scheduled meetings automatically

Open Settings → Meetings, in the Workspace group, and enable Start when meeting begins.

When a calendar-backed note reaches its scheduled start time, Mico starts listening. This setting does not apply to ordinary notes without a calendar event.

Enable Join scheduled meetings as well if you want Mico to open the event's meeting link when listening starts. It depends on Start when meeting begins.

Keep Mico running and make sure microphone and system-audio access are allowed. See Connect a calendar if your events are not visible.

Detect unscheduled calls

Open Settings → Notifications and enable Microphone detection. Mico watches for sustained microphone activity and notifies you that a meeting may have started.

Microphone detection is a reminder; it does not start recording by itself. Click Record this meeting in the notification to start listening. Choose a Detection delay from 5 seconds to 2 minutes, and use Exclude apps from detection for apps that should not trigger a meeting prompt.

Accessibility permission is required to detect meeting apps and synchronize mute state. You can manage it under Settings → Permissions.

Stop when the call ends

Under Settings → Meetings, enable Stop when meeting ends. Mico stops listening when your call ends, or after 3 minutes of silence. Before it stops, it shows a countdown with Keep recording in the note header and in a notification, so you can continue if the meeting is not over.

If you switch audio devices or use an app with unusual microphone behavior, check that the recording is still active before closing the meeting.

Keep controls nearby

Enable Show floating bar under Settings → Meetings to keep compact recording controls visible while Mico listens. You can also open it from the ••• menu with Open floating panel while a recording is active.
