Never forgotten
With Pro, recording starts as soon as you join a Teams meeting and stops when it ends. On Free, you start it with one click.
For Windows 11
Remora Recorder
Keep your headphones on — it still records both sides.
No need to switch to speakers and record on another device. With Pro, recording starts as soon as you join a Teams meeting and stops when it ends — and the meeting is then transcribed on your PC. Recordings stay on your PC and are never uploaded.

Never lost
A backup file is written alongside the recording. If the app or your PC crashes, you lose seconds, not the meeting.
Never leaves your PC
Recordings are saved only on your PC. No cloud, no account, no upload.
Three steps
Install it and you're ready.
01
Install it
Get it free from the Microsoft Store. It needs no administrator rights and keeps itself up to date. It takes about 600 MB, because the speech model for transcription is included.
02
Let it live in the tray
Close the window and it waits in the system tray, ready whenever your meeting starts.
03
Join your meeting
With Pro, recording starts when you join and stops when the meeting ends. On Free, start and stop it with one click.

The actual Remora Recorder interface
Records the other side, even on headphones
Remora Recorder records what your PC plays, so the other side is recorded whether you use headphones or speakers. No need to switch to speakers or use a second device. Your voice and theirs go into one file — or into two separate files if you prefer.
Transcribes the meeting on your PC (Pro)
When a meeting ends, Remora Recorder turns it into text right on your PC and saves a .txt and an .srt next to the recording, marking what you said and what the other side said. 100 languages, detected automatically. Nothing is uploaded. Needs a supported GPU.
A crash costs seconds, not the meeting
A backup file is written alongside the main one. If the app or your PC crashes, the recording is rebuilt from the backup the next time Remora Recorder starts. You lose only a few seconds.
Switch headsets without stopping
Plug in or unplug a headset mid-meeting, and Remora Recorder moves to the new device without stopping the recording.
Records the screen, too
Turn on screen recording and the Teams meeting window is saved as an .mp4 with sound — even when other windows cover it.
Stops in under a second
Even after a two-hour meeting, stopping takes less than a second. No waiting.
Nothing extra to install
No extra drivers and no virtual audio devices. Recording uses only what is built into Windows.
Never lost
A crash costs seconds, not the meeting
A backup file is written the whole time you record. If Windows or the app goes down mid-meeting, Remora Recorder rebuilds the recording from it the next time it starts. Typically, about two to three seconds are lost.
Built to be trusted
Your recordings never leave your PC.
Everything stays local
Recordings are written to your PC and nowhere else. There is no function that sends audio or video off the machine.
No account, no telemetry
Nothing to sign in to, nothing phoning home. The app does not know who you are.
Visible, not hidden
Windows shows its own microphone-in-use indicator while recording. Remora Recorder does not suppress or spoof it, and Teams shows no recording notice of its own.
Recording uses only standard APIs
Recording is built on standard Windows APIs alone. Transcription uses the open-source whisper.cpp (MIT licence), bundled unmodified, with its licence shown in the app.
A note on consent: recording a meeting may require telling participants or getting their agreement, depending on the law, your organisation's policy, and any agreement with the other party. Please use Remora Recorder in line with the rules that apply to you.

What’s new
Version 2.0 · 20 October 2026
Pro now transcribes your meetings. When a recording ends, Remora turns it into text right on your PC and saves a .txt and an .srt, marking what you said and what the other side said. Each meeting now gets its own file, and recording starts the moment a meeting is found.
Questions
Frequently asked
Yes. Remora Recorder records whatever your PC plays, so the other side is recorded whether it comes out of headphones or speakers. There's no need to switch to speakers.
Manual recording works with any application. Automatic detection currently covers Microsoft Teams only; support for other meeting apps is planned — see the roadmap below.
Teams itself shows no recording notice to the other side. Windows shows its own microphone-in-use icon on your screen. Please see the note on consent above before you record anyone else.
Almost nothing is lost. A second, fragmented copy is written throughout the recording, and Remora Recorder rebuilds the finished file from it the next time it starts. Typical loss is two to three seconds.
Your Videos folder, by default, with a filename that starts with the date and time — for example 2026-09-16 10-30-00_teams_mix.m4a. You can change the destination in settings.
Yes, with Pro. After a meeting ends, Remora Recorder transcribes it on your PC and saves a .txt and an .srt next to the recording, marking what you said and what the other side said. It works in 100 languages and detects the language automatically. Nothing is uploaded. It needs a GPU with Vulkan support; on a PC without one, the setting is turned off and the app tells you why. You can still hand the file to any other tool you like.
No. Windows is kept awake for as long as recording is running. Your monitor can still turn off normally.
Usually, yes. Automatic detection looks for Teams using your microphone or for a Teams meeting window with call controls, even a minimized one, so most listen-only joins are detected too. If recording doesn't start, start it manually.
No. The Free plan needs no card and no account — it's free to use for as long as you like, with manual recording and screen recording capped at 30 minutes per session. A card only comes into it if you choose to buy Pro.
Recording stops automatically and the file is saved normally — nothing is lost. Start a new recording whenever you like, or upgrade to Pro for automatic detection and no time limit.
Yes. Refunds are handled through the Microsoft Store, under Microsoft's standard refund policy.
