Scenario
Start with the workflow this guide is designed for before moving into the steps.
As a meeting owner, I want the desktop recorder installed and checked before a live call so I do not discover permission problems during the meeting.
The desktop app is installed, signed in, microphone permissions are checked, and you have a safe test recording.
Complete steps
Download the correct build
Use the public download page and choose the platform that matches the device you will use for real meetings.
Sign in and grant permissions
Open the app, sign in, then allow microphone access when the OS prompt appears.
Run a permission test
Record a short sentence in a quiet environment and confirm the app receives audio.
Prepare for a real meeting
Before a live call, close noisy apps, plug in power, and keep the Vowise window reachable.
Details
Before an important call
