Quickstart Guide

Grain automatically records, transcribes, and summarizes your meetings so you can focus on the conversation. This guide gets you set up quickly, with paths depending on whether you are setting up a workspace or joining one.

Start here if you want to understand the product before configuring anything.

Grain works in the browser at grain.com and as a desktop app on macOS and Windows. Download the desktop app if you want Desktop capture, the bot-free recording method that works on any meeting platform. See Download Grain for more information.

Connect your Google or Outlook calendar so Grain can detect upcoming meetings and auto-capture them. See My Account to connect a calendar.

Choose which meeting types Grain should record automatically—external, internal, or unscheduled meetings—and whether to use the Grain bot or Desktop capture. See My Meetings for auto-capture settings.

Once a calendar is connected and auto-capture is configured, Grain captures your next scheduled meeting automatically. Alternatively, you can start a manual recording directly from the ’Meetings’ page using ’+ New’.
