Recording

When a consultation starts, Meelio opens the Recording view. Audio capture begins automatically.

What's Captured

• Microphone — Your voice (the practitioner)
• System Audio — Your patient's voice during video calls, or any audio played through your computer's speakers

The Recording View

Pre-consult Report and Notes

For consultations linked to a scheduled appointment, Meelio displays a side-by-side view:

• Pre-consult Report (left) — A summary of the patient's history, previous notes, and relevant data to prepare you for the session.
• Notes Panel (right) — Your active workspace for typing observations, bookmarks, and flags during the recording.

If no pre-consult report is available, the Notes Panel expands to fill the top section.

Notes Panel Controls

• Type clinical observations, reminders, or key points
• Click Bookmark to mark a specific moment in the recording
• Click Flag to flag an important observation

Notes are saved with the consultation and available in the Chat workspace as the Session Notes tab.

Live Transcript

The bottom section shows the live transcript (when using Live transcription mode).

• Clinician text appears in blue bubbles (right-aligned)
• Patient text appears in white bubbles (left-aligned)
• A search bar lets you find text in the transcript
• Toggle Auto-scroll to automatically follow the latest text
• Click Jump to latest if you've scrolled up

Note: Speaker differentiation may vary depending on audio quality and transcription mode.

Recording Control Bar

A persistent control bar is visible at the bottom of the screen during recording, even if you navigate to other pages or close the main window.

• Recording indicator — Red pulsing dot with "Recording" label
• Timer — Shows elapsed recording time (HH:MM:SS)
• Mode toggle — Switch between In-Person, Telehealth, and Meeting modes
• Link to Patient — Appears for meetings without a patient linked (blue button)
• Stop — Red button to end the recording
• Full View — Returns to the full recording page if you've navigated away

Pro Tip: You can safely close the main Meelio window during a recording to clear your screen. Meelio keeps recording in the background and shows a small floating recording indicator, so you can always get back to your recording. If the indicator can't be shown, the main window is minimized instead of closed.

If Meelio Reloads During a Recording

A recording keeps running in the background even if the Meelio window reloads partway through a session.

• Recording resumed — When the window comes back, Meelio picks the recording up again and shows this notification. You can carry on as normal.
• A recording is still running — Occasionally Meelio can't reconnect to the recording. Click Stop & save on the warning to end the recording and keep the audio on the Unsaved recordings page, where you can retry the upload.
