# In-person meetings → record now (mobile workflow)

### Capture face-to-face meetings without a laptop

Not all meetings happen online.

Workshops, trainings, and client sessions often happen:

* In a boardroom
* At a café
* On-site with a customer
* During travel or events

In-person meetings are high-value… but they're where notes usually disappear.

Fyxer's Start Recording Now workflow gives you meeting summaries anywhere.

***

### What you'll achieve

With this workflow, you can:

* Record face-to-face meetings from your phone
* Generate summaries automatically
* Store meeting context in your dashboard
* Draft follow-ups without manual note-taking
* Capture decisions even without Zoom or Teams

***

### When to use this workflow

Use Start Recording Now when:

* You meet a client in person
* You run a workshop or training
* You have a discovery call face-to-face
* You want notes without writing during the meeting
* There is no calendar invite or video call

### Power User Insight

Teri, an AI consultant, immediately identified this as her missing tool:

> "I don't have a good in-person option… I would use this for sure."

For busy consultants, in-person meetings are often the hardest to document.

### Step 1: Open Fyxer on your phone

Bookmark the dashboard link on mobile so it's always ready.

Go to: [**Dashboard** ](https://app.fyxer.com)**→ Notetaker → Record Meeting**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 2: Tap "Record meeting now"

Select: **Start Recording Now**

This is designed specifically for in-person conversations.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 3: Introduce the speakers

Best practice at the start:

"Hi, I'm Alexa. I'm here with Terry from \[Company]. We're discussing \[topic]."

This helps Fyxer label speakers correctly.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 4: Place your phone (unlocked) on the table and talk naturally

No laptop required. No Zoom invite required.

Just record the conversation as it happens.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 5: Stop recording and let Fyxer summarize

When the meeting ends: **Stop Recording**

Fyxer will generate:

* Transcript
* Executive summary
* Action items
* Follow-up-ready context

The meeting is automatically saved in your: **Recorded log**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 6: Use the summary for follow-ups

From the recorded meeting, you can:

* Ask Meeting Insights to draft an email
* Confirm next steps with attendees
* Store the conversation for future reference
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

### Power User Tips

**Use this for workshops + client sessions**\
In-person meetings often contain the most important decisions.

**Keep recordings short and focused**\
If needed, record separate sessions instead of one long file.

**Follow up immediately while it's fresh**\
The summary makes proactive communication effortless.

***

### Common Mistakes to Avoid

**Forgetting to introduce speakers**\
A 5-second intro improves transcript clarity.

**Waiting until later to document outcomes**\
Record in the moment, not after memory fades.

**Treating in-person meetings as "lost context"**\
They shouldn't disappear just because they weren't on Zoom.

***

### Result: Face-to-face meetings become searchable, actionable, and usable

With Record Now, you no longer rely on:

* Memory
* Scribbled notes
* Post-meeting stress
* Manual recap writing

Every meeting becomes structured.
