# Guides to recording meetings on a Mac

These guides explain how to record a meeting on a Mac without a bot and what to do with the recording afterwards. They work with PolarParrot, the app we make, and most of it also works with other tools.

Written by Polargate, the company that makes PolarParrot, so we are an interested party.
