Does MeetingOS Work with Headphones?

Written by Andrew Ely

Yes — MeetingOS captures your microphone and system audio regardless of whether you're using headphones, earbuds, or speakers. You don't need to change anything about your audio setup.

How to confirm MeetingOS is picking up audio

If you want to verify that MeetingOS is hearing the conversation during a meeting:

  1. Start capturing a meeting

  2. Click the waveform button in the upper-right corner of the desktop app

  3. A live audio preview will appear, showing you exactly what MeetingOS is hearing in real time

This is a quick way to catch any audio issues before they affect your notes.

Common audio issues

  • Only your voice is being captured: Check that system audio permissions are enabled. On Mac, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording and confirm Contio MeetingOS is allowed. On Windows, audio permissions are handled at the system level automatically on version 0.30+.

  • No audio at all: Make sure you clicked Capture Notes to start capturing — MeetingOS never records automatically.
