Listen to a recording stored elsewhere

A meeting keeps its transcript and summary after its recording moves. You can still listen, export audio or run processing that needs the recording, provided its destination is available.

Use the audio

Section titled “Use the audio”
  • Mounted drive: connect the drive and play the meeting. Playback reads from the drive directly.
  • S3 or SFTP: right-click the meeting and choose Recording ▸ Download before listening.
  • Export or process: choose Recording ▸ Export Audio, or start re-transcription or speaker correction. Recordstead fetches the tracks those operations need automatically.

Downloads are encrypted temporary copies, checked before use. They expire six hours after their last use; playback and processing protect them while in use. A download does not move the original back to this Mac or change its destination. An exported WAV is a separate file in your export folder and remains there until you remove it.

Your result: you can use the moved recording without restoring it as a permanent local original. If the archive is unavailable, reconnect it and try again.
