Free Online Meeting Recorder

• Record screen, mic and webcam in one studio

  The recorder studio includes a screen recorder with audio, a webcam recorder, a voice recorder and a presentation recorder with a built-in teleprompter. Pick the tab or window where your call is running and hit record. Nothing joins the meeting as a participant, so the call itself stays untouched.

• Or upload a recording you already have

  Got a downloaded Zoom recording or an old Teams file sitting in a folder? EchoWave accepts 20 video input formats, including MP4, MKV, WebM, MOV and AVI. Upload the file and every transcription and editing feature on this page works exactly the same way.

• Automatic transcription that detects the language

  Speech-to-text runs on the whole recording with word-level timestamps, and it auto-detects the spoken language, so there is no setup screen to get wrong. The transcript doubles as captions with 176 named presets, from clean corporate lines to word-by-word karaoke styles. The meeting transcription page walks the full workflow.

• Cut the video by editing the transcript

  Delete a sentence in the transcript and the matching video disappears from the timeline. One click removes filler words like um and uh, another strips long silences. A rambling 47-minute call becomes a tight recap without scrubbing a waveform.

• Trim highlights on a real timeline

  Under the transcript sits a multi-track magnetic timeline with split, trim, merge and speed change from 0.25x to 4x. Pull out the three minutes where the decision happened, add a title card, and drop the small talk. It is a full video editor, not a viewer with a trim handle.

• Translate captions into 86 languages

  Subtitle translation, a Pro feature, covers 86 languages, and bilingual subtitles show the original and the translation on screen together. That helps when the meeting ran in English but half the team reads Spanish or Japanese. Translation changes the subtitle text only, never the audio.

• Export the transcript and subtitle files

  Burn captions permanently into the video for players that ignore subtitle tracks, or on a paid plan download subtitles as SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON. The TXT file gives you a plain transcript to paste into notes, a doc or a ticket. SRT and VTT files import back in if you edit them elsewhere first.

• Ask Echo to do the tidy-up

  Echo is the AI assistant built into the editor, with 39 editing tools. Tell it to caption the recording, cut everything before the agenda started, or add a zoom pop on the shared spreadsheet. It saves a checkpoint before big changes, so one click reverts anything you dislike.

• Let AI Pull the Decisions and Highlights

  Run the AI clip generator on a recorded call: every candidate moment gets a Viral Score from 0 to 100 with Hook, Clarity, Emotion, Value and Trend sub-scores plus plain-English reasons. Request 1 to 30 clips or prompt-search the transcript for a topic.

• Seven Camera Layouts That Follow the Speaker

  Smart camera reframes the recording with on-screen speaker detection, lip movement matched to the voice, and cuts between people on their turns. Choose from seven layouts, including Presenter + slides for screen shares, and adjust every move afterward as ordinary keyframes.

1. 1

   Open the meeting recorder

   Go to echowave.io and open the recorder studio. There is nothing to install; it runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on Mac, Windows, Linux and Chromebooks. An old laptop is fine because the heavy rendering is done for you.

2. 2

   Record your call

   Choose the screen recorder, pick the tab or window with your meeting, and enable audio along with your microphone (tab and system audio capture works in Chrome and Edge only). Join the call as usual and let the recording run alongside it. Tell participants you are recording, since consent laws in many places require it.

3. 3

   Transcribe and cut the highlights

   Press Save & edit to open the recording in the editor, then run auto-captions to get a word-accurate transcript, then edit the text to cut the video. Remove filler words and silences in a click each, and trim the timeline down to the decisions, demos and action items.

4. 4

   Export and share

   Download the raw recording straight from the recorder, free and without a watermark. If you edited it in the editor, free exports there are 720p MP4 with a small badge and a short end card, and paid plans add 1080p and beyond. On a paid plan, download SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON alongside the video, then share the file wherever your team talks.

• Client call recaps

  Send a five-minute recap instead of a sixty-minute recording nobody opens. Trim to the decisions, caption it, and attach the SRT (paid plans) so the conversation stays searchable later.

• Async standups and all-hands

  Record the all-hands once and post a captioned cut for everyone who was asleep when it happened. Silence and filler removal tighten the runtime before you post it to the team channel.

• User research interviews

  Record interviews, transcribe them with word-level timestamps, and clip the exact moments where users struggled. A captioned highlight reel lands harder in a readout than quotes pasted on a slide.

• Sales demos

  Turn a strong live demo into a reusable asset. Cut the setup chatter, add a zoom pop on the product, and export a clean MP4 for follow-up emails and proposals.

• Training and onboarding

  Record a process walkthrough with the presentation recorder and its built-in teleprompter, then add text overlays and captions. New hires get the same explanation every time, on demand.

• Lectures and webinars

  Burned-in captions help students rewatch on mute, and Pro subtitle translation into 86 languages makes one recording work for international cohorts. The TXT transcript doubles as study notes.

Based on each tool's public pages as of July 2026. Plans change, so check current pricing before deciding. Note that none of these four auto-join calls from a calendar; if you want a notetaker bot on every scheduled call, use one, then bring the file to EchoWave for the edit.
