This walkthrough takes one short Meeting from setup to saved notes. You need Echo installed, signed in, and allowed to use your microphone. For an online call, allow computer-audio capture too. Follow the permission setup before you start. You do not need a calendar connection or previous Meeting history. Before capture, tell the people in your Meeting that you are taking notes with an AI assistant. Echo does not notify them for you.
1

Start manually

Open Echo and select New meeting from Home. If you have connected a calendar, you can use Join + start from the Meeting card instead.
2

Choose capture settings

In setup, choose Online meeting for a call on your computer, or In person for a room conversation. Choose a default Meeting Type such as General meeting. Keep optional live help off for this first run unless you already know you want it.

3

Start capture

Select Start capture in setup. Echo’s meeting controls appear beside your call. Say a few sentences yourself. For an online meeting, ask the other participant to speak too.
4

Check the transcript

In the meeting window, select the speech-bubble control (Peek transcript). If you are using the floating Meeting Nub, select its transcript control instead. For Online meeting, confirm that your microphone speech and the other participant’s speech both appear in the transcript. For In person, confirm that speech through your microphone appears. If the other side is missing, see Troubleshooting.

Read your notes

Open the saved Meeting from Notes. Read the AI Notes, check them against the transcript, and edit anything important.

Check your tasks
