Good to know

Jiva starts only when the meeting app is using your microphone. It does not start while your Mac is locked or the display is off.

Other cases

Jiva recorded when there was no meeting

Tell us which app was open: write to ceo@jiva.works and send your logs. You can turn that app off under Start automatically in these apps.

The recording stopped in the middle

Set Stop after silence to a longer time, or to Never.
