Let Jiva switch to Room mode

When the call’s sound comes from the room and not from your Mac, Jiva notices and switches to Room mode by itself. Click OK. The Jiva window shows Recording — Room mode.

Name the speakers afterwards

In Room mode, everyone is heard through one microphone, so the transcript uses Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on. It does not call anyone Me. Click a label to type the person’s name.

Step 3: Name the speakers afterwards — From the video · 0:39

Good to know

Room mode starts by itself. There is no switch for it.

If something goes wrong

Voices are faint in the transcript

Move your Mac closer to the people speaking, and away from the room’s loudspeaker.
