Why a platform-agnostic upload helps
Common meeting transcription scenarios
Where Zoom puts your recording
Zoom splits recordings by where they were saved, and the two places behave differently. Cloud recordings sit in the web portal, local recordings never leave the machine that hosted the meeting.
- Cloud recording
- zoom.us, then Recordings. Paid accounts only. You can download the MP4 or the smaller Audio Only (M4A) version
- Local, macOS
- ~/Documents/Zoom/, one folder per meeting, containing the MP4 and a separate audio.m4a
- Local, Windows
- %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Zoom\, same layout
- Which file to take
- audio.m4a if it exists. It is a fraction of the size and transcribes identically
- Zoom own transcript
- Cloud only. Local recordings get nothing, which is the gap this page fills
Where Google Meet puts your recording
Meet recording is a Workspace feature rather than a free-tier one, and the file always lands in the organizer Drive rather than yours.
- Where to look
- Drive, then My Drive, then Meet Recordings. Usually a few minutes after the meeting ends
- Notification
- The organizer gets an email with the link once the file is ready
- Nothing there?
- Recording depends on the Workspace edition and on admin settings. A personal Google account cannot record at all
- Not the organizer
- Ask them to share the file. Do not screen-capture a call without telling the other participants
- Format
- MP4. If it is over 60 MB, strip the video first, see below
Where Microsoft Teams puts your recording
Teams files land in two different places depending on the kind of meeting, which is the usual reason people cannot find them.
- Private meeting
- OneDrive, then My Files, then Recordings, in the organizer account
- Channel meeting
- The SharePoint site behind that channel, under the channel folder in Documents
- Fastest route
- Open the meeting chat. The recording is posted there as a link
- Download blocked?
- Some enterprise and government tenants disable downloads or external processing. That is a policy decision, so ask your admin rather than working around it
Strip the video before you upload
A meeting recording is mostly video, and the video is dead weight for transcription. Removing it makes the upload far smaller and changes nothing about accuracy.
- One command
- ffmpeg -i meeting.mp4 -vn -ac 1 -ar 16000 audio.m4a
- What it does
- -vn drops the video track, -ac 1 mixes down to mono, -ar 16000 resamples to the rate Whisper uses internally anyway
- Typical saving
- 5 to 15 times smaller
- No ffmpeg installed?
- Use the MP4 to MP3 converter on this site, same result without a terminal
- Still over 180 MB
- Split the recording first, the splitting guide walks through it
Recording other people
Worth being straight about this, because meeting recordings are the one use case where the legal side is not hypothetical.
- Consent
- Many jurisdictions require every participant to know they are being recorded. Zoom, Meet and Teams all announce it. Do not defeat that announcement
- Your own policy
- Internal rules are often stricter than the law. Check before uploading customer, candidate or patient calls
- What happens here
- Audio streams to the transcription provider, gets processed once, and is dropped. Transcript text is kept for seven days only if you are signed in
- What we cannot offer
- No signed BAA and no SOC 2 report. If you work somewhere that requires either, use a self-hosted transcription tool instead of this one
Webinars and recorded online sessions
A webinar is a meeting with an audience, and the workflow is identical: find the recording, strip the video, upload. The platforms differ.
- ON24, Demio, StreamYard
- Each has a download in the host dashboard after the session ends. Look for the recording or replay tab
- Zoom Webinars
- Same place as ordinary Zoom recordings, the cloud portal under Recordings
- Presenters versus Q and A
- There are no speaker labels, so mark the Q and A boundary yourself before editing the transcript
- What it is good for
- Captions on the replay page, and a searchable text version so people can find the answer without rewatching 50 minutes
Tips for better meeting transcripts
- Prefer audio-only exports when you want a smaller upload.
- Record in a quiet space and reduce background noise.
- Use Auto-detect for multilingual or mixed-language calls.
- Review names and terminology after transcription.
Frequently asked questions
Can I transcribe a Zoom, Meet or Teams recording?
Yes. Any audio or video file from any meeting platform works. Just download the recording and drop it here. We accept MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, WEBM, FLAC and more.
Is meeting transcription free?
Yes. Files up to 25 MB anonymously and up to 180 MB when signed in, where anything over 60 MB is auto-split and merged back into one transcript. Seven transcripts a day on a free account. No credit card.
Does Mictoo identify different speakers?
No. The current transcript is continuous text with per-line timestamps and no automatic "Speaker 1 / Speaker 2" labels.
Are meeting recordings stored?
No. The file streams to the transcription provider, gets processed once, and is dropped from memory. The transcript is only saved if you sign in and add it to your history.
Which export formats are available?
TXT (plain text), SRT and VTT (captions with timestamps aligned to the recording), and DOCX (Word document). Signed-in users also get PDF and JSON.
Can I translate the transcript?
Yes. After transcription, pick a target language and click Translate. Useful for sending recap emails to participants in their preferred language, or for archiving cross-language meetings in a single working language.
