What it does

Forgot to hit stop? The desktop app ends a recording on its own once the meeting is over, so it doesn’t keep capturing the next meeting or the hallway chat after it. Auto-end notices when you’re done in your meeting app, the moment Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or another meeting app stops using your microphone. There’s nothing to set up: it runs automatically on every desktop recording.
Nothing extra is ever recorded. Auto-end only checks whether a meeting app is using your microphone. It never records, listens to, or saves audio from your meeting apps. It sees activity, not content.

​
When a recording ends

A desktop recording stops when any of these happens: Recordings that aren’t tied to a calendar event, like Quick Capture, end once the conversation is over. When a recording ends, Earmark saves the transcript and finishes your artifacts, just as if you had clicked Stop capture yourself.

​
Supported meeting apps

Auto-end recognizes calls in:
  • Zoom
  • Google Meet in Chrome
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Slack huddles
  • Discord
  • FaceTime
  • Webex, RingCentral, and GoTo Meeting

​
Requirements

  • The Earmark desktop app, version 1.8.0 or later, on Mac or Windows
  • On a Mac, macOS 14.2 or later
The web app doesn’t end recordings automatically. Click Stop capture when your meeting is done.

​
Recording limits

A single capture session runs for up to 3 hours, on desktop and web.
  1. At 2.5 hours, Earmark shows a Meeting time approaching limit notice, so the end never catches you by surprise.
  2. At 3 hours, capture stops and Earmark finishes your artifacts.
To keep going, click Start capture in the same meeting. The transcript continues in that meeting, and the new session gets another 3 hours. You can do this as many times as you need for workshops and all-day sessions.

​
If a recording ends too early

Click Start capture in the meeting to pick up where you left off. Everything captured so far stays in the meeting.

​
FAQs

Not currently. If a recording ends before you’re done, click Start capture in the same meeting to continue.
No. To tell when a call is over, Earmark checks whether a meeting app is using your microphone. That check never records audio.
Recordings still stop after 15 minutes without speech, when your computer goes to sleep, and at the 3-hour limit.
No. The limit is fixed. Start capture again in the same meeting to continue past it.
