Screen Capture
Capture meeting audio from a browser-selected display source.
Screen capture can record audio from a source offered by your browser, such as an authorised web meeting or remote hearing. Audio availability depends on the browser, operating system, and source you select.
Setup
- Open New recording, or start from a matter.
- Select Meeting mode.
- Choose Screen capture.
- Select Start to open the browser's source picker.
Select a source
Choose an available source that includes audio. Chrome or Edge is recommended for this workflow.
- A browser tab often provides the clearest supported route for a web meeting.
- A window or full screen may appear in the picker, but it does not always provide an audio track.
Enable Share audio or the equivalent option. If the chosen source supplies no audio track, Ardela cannot transcribe that source.
Optional microphone
Where offered, combine the source audio with your microphone so your own side of the conversation is also captured. Use headphones to reduce echo.
During capture
- The selected capture source stays fixed for that recording part. You can continue using other tabs, but doing so does not change the source being captured.
- Watch the available level indicators before relying on the recording.
- Select Pause to save the part.
- Review the timeline and select Finalise to begin processing.
Processing
After Finalise, screen-captured meetings use the same batch transcription and speaker-diarisation workflow as microphone meetings. Identify and correct the speaker labels before using the transcript.
Tips
- Prefer the meeting tab when it exposes an audio track.
- Mute unrelated notification sounds.
- Test a short authorised capture before an important meeting.
- Use headphones when also capturing your microphone.
If capture fails
- Confirm browser and operating-system screen-sharing permissions.
- Confirm that the selected source offers audio.
- Try Chrome or Edge.
- Discard the failed part and start a new capture if necessary.
