Problem
On desktop, starting a recording works fine, but it runs forever after the meeting is over. When the call ends, the recording just keeps going, so I’m left with hanging recordings padded with silence, hallway chatter, or whatever I said next. I have to remember to stop it manually, which defeats the point of detection handling the start.
Proposed solution
If the app can detect a meeting starting, it can detect it ending. When the meeting ends, whether the call drops, the participants leave, or the calendar slot closes, stop the recording automatically after a short grace period.
Behaviour
A 2 minute grace period by default, configurable in settings. When the meeting end is detected, the app shows a quiet countdown (“stopping in 2:00”) with a one tap “keep recording” option for when the conversation continues past the scheduled end. If nothing extends it, the recording stops and syncs on its own.
Use cases
Back-to-back calls where I forget to stop the previous one, meetings that end early, and any session where the useful content is over but the recording isn’t.
Why it matters
Detection handles the start but not the finish, so every recording needs manual cleanup at the end. Closing that loop means recordings match the actual meeting, no trailing dead air, no orphaned sessions running in the background.
