Step by step
How to record a Zoom call on your Mac
- 01Download Humla and grant Microphone and Screen Recording permission — Screen Recording is what lets it capture your Mac's audio.
- 02Join your Zoom call as normal. There's no bot to admit and no plugin to install.
- 03Hit Record in Humla. It captures your microphone and the call's audio as two separate streams.
- 04Take notes while it transcribes on-device; press Stop when the call ends.
- 05Humla labels who said what and writes a summary — all on your Mac.

So the scope is six pages, and we move you off the old CMS while we're in there.
That works. Can we keep the current palette? People know the colours.
We'd only tighten the type. Budget sign off sits with Hanna.

FAQ
Questions and answers
Does a bot join my Zoom call?
No. Humla captures your Mac's system audio, so nothing appears in the Zoom participant list.
Do I need a Zoom plugin or the paid Zoom plan?
No — Humla records at the system level, so it works with the standard Zoom app or Zoom in your browser.
