- Tap the Record button at the bottom of the screen. Now you'll start recording (unless you need the host's permission to record, in which case you'll need to ask).
- When you’d like to stop recording, you can press Pause to temporarily stop recording or Stop to end the recording permanently.
- A notification will pop up alerting you that your file’s audio will be converted to mp4 once you end the meeting.
