Mavio for Chrome
Opens in Chrome’s side panel
A recorder in the tab, not in the meeting.
Mavio for Chrome opens beside your call. It records the tab’s audio and your microphone, writes the transcript as people talk, and files the meeting in your workspace when you stop.

Four beats, and the meeting is written down.
01

On Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, Webex or Chime, the Mavio icon takes a badge. Nothing is recorded yet.

Brightline moved their board date up, so the pilot has to be live by the 30th.

Mavio uploads the recording, then the meeting appears in your workspace with its transcript and summary.
Anything that makes sound in a tab.
Five meeting tools are recognised by their address, so the icon can tell you a call is open. Recording is not limited to them: if a tab is playing audio, Mavio can record it.

What it does, and what it never does.
Chrome lists the permissions when you add it. This is what they are used for, in plain words.
What it does
- Reads the address of the tab you are on, so the icon can tell you a meeting is open.
- Records the audio of the tab you start it on, and your microphone, which you can switch off in settings.
- Sends the recording to your workspace, where the transcript and summary are made.
- Puts the tab it is recording into a tab group called Mavio, so you can see which one it is.
What it never does
- Record your screen, your camera, or any other tab.
- Record anything before you press record. Automatic recording is off until you turn it on.
- Run in incognito windows, unless you allow it in Chrome.
- Put a bot in the meeting. Nobody else sees anything.
Four ways to start it.
- Start or stop recording
- Alt Shift R, from anywhere in Chrome.
- Open the side panel
- Ctrl Shift A, or ⌘ Shift A on a Mac.
- From the page itself
- Right click the page, then “Record this tab with Mavio”.
- Let it start for you
- Turn on automatic recording in settings and Mavio starts when you join a meeting it knows. Off until you turn it on.
Answered plainly.
Does a bot join my meeting?
No. The extension records the audio already playing in your browser tab, plus your microphone. Nobody else in the call sees a participant, a notice, or anything else from Mavio.
What exactly does it record?
The audio of the tab you started it on, and your microphone, which you can switch off in settings. It never records your screen or your camera, and it does not record other tabs.
Which meeting tools does it know?
Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, Webex and Amazon Chime are recognised by their address, so the Mavio icon can tell you a meeting is open. Recording itself works on any tab that plays audio, including webinars, recorded talks and podcasts.
Where do the transcript and summary appear?
The live transcript appears in the side panel while you record, along with your notes and Eva. When you stop, the recording is uploaded and the finished meeting, with its transcript and summary, appears in your Mavio workspace.
Does it work in Firefox or other browsers?
It is built for Chrome's side panel, so it needs Chrome or a Chromium browser that supports it. Firefox is not supported today.
Do I still need the desktop app?
Only for what happens outside the browser. The extension covers calls in a tab; the desktop app records system audio and the room you are in, and the mobile app records meetings away from a desk.
Record your next call from the tab it’s in.
Away from the browser, the desktop app records system audio, and the mobile app records the room you are in. One workspace holds all of it.
