Good to know

If the call’s sound comes from a room system and not from your Mac, Jiva cannot capture it as the other side. It switches to Room mode and records the room through your microphone.

The call plays through another device

Jiva records the sound that plays on this Mac. If you joined the call’s audio by phone, the other side is not on your Mac.
