Botless Recording is available for Mac users (Windows coming soon!).
What is Desktop Botless Recording?
Botless allows you to capture your meetings directly from Fellow's desktop app for Mac, without a bot present on your call. You’ll still get an audio recording, transcript, AI notes, and all the other features you love about Fellow.
Botless recording works on any meeting platform (Slack huddles, Microsoft Teams, dialers, Google Meet, Zoom and more) and is perfect for capturing impromptu meetings with just one click.

How to Use
For Scheduled Meetings
Open the meeting from your calendar in Fellow
Select Record as Botless instead of record as Bot
You will see a waveform indicating that your audio and other meeting participant's audio is being captured.
Your botless recording will be available from the meeting note you started it from.
For Impromptu Meetings
When Fellow detects microphone activity, you’ll see a Meeting Detected notification
Click to start a botless recording
A new note will be created that is only accessible to you which you can choose to share with other meeting participants.

Recording Controls
Pause/Resume recording at any time
Stop when the meeting ends
Mute in the Fellow recording: Privately pause your mic from being captured. For example so you can have a quick side chat with your family member without it appearing in the recording or the transcript.
Recording Disclosure
Users internal to your organization will see in Fellow an indication that the meeting is being recorded. It's your responsibility to provide recording disclosure in accordance with local laws and regulations of meeting participants.
Sharing Your Botless Recordings
By default, a recap email is not sent for botless recordings. To automatically share the recap you can change your note series settings by navigating to the more menu > automations > Send Recap.
