Auto-Record
Automatically start recordings when someone joins a voice channel
Auto-record starts a recording when people join a voice channel.
Enable Auto-Record
- Open the dashboard and select your server
- Go to Settings → Auto-Record
- Turn on Enable Auto-Record
- Add voice channels to record using the Add Voice Channel button
- For each channel, choose where the transcript gets posted
- Click Save Changes
Minimum People
Set the minimum number of people required in a voice channel before auto-recording starts. Defaults to 1 (recording starts when anyone joins). For example, set this to 2 so recordings only begin when at least two people are in the channel.
Users who have opted out with /opt-out do not count toward this minimum. If an auto-recording starts because enough other eligible people are present, NoteCat still skips opted-out users' voices. Learn more
Choosing Channels
Add specific voice channels to record using the Add Voice Channel button. For each channel, you choose where the transcript gets posted — this can be a text channel or a voice channel's built-in text chat.
Each channel must have a transcript channel configured.
Visibility
Auto recordings can't be Private — they're started by the bot, and Private is visible only to the person who started the recording. If your server's default visibility is Private, auto recordings use Channel visibility instead. Learn more
Recording Updates
Auto-record posts live transcript updates and status messages to the transcript channel you configure for each voice channel. If the bot or your account is missing permissions for a channel, the UI will show a warning.
Stopping A Recording
Use End Recording in Discord to stop an auto-recorded session. If the bot is removed from the voice channel (kicked, permissions revoked, or channel deleted), the recording ends automatically.
