Good to know

On a Mac with 8 GB of memory, the running summary in the overlay stays off during the call. The summary after the call is still written. Tell the people on the call that you are recording.

If something goes wrong

The other side of the call is missing

Jiva did not get system audio. Click the lotus, choose Set Up Permissions…, and run the System Audio Recording test again.

There are no notes after the call

Click the lotus and choose Finalize Last Meeting. If the models are still downloading, wait for them first.

The overlay is in the way

Drag it to another corner, or click Overlay in the Jiva window to turn it off.
