# Heify Recorder

> Chrome extension that records any meeting on your computer and emails you a Heify report. No bots joining the call — capture happens locally.

The **Heify Recorder** records the audio of any meeting (Zoom, Teams, Meet, Slack huddles, any app or tab) and emails you a Heify report when you stop. Your audio is uploaded to your sandbox, transcribed, extracted against the [Configuration](/core/configuration) you choose, optionally attributed to a [Participant](/core/participant), optionally scored against an [Evaluator](/core/evaluator), and delivered as an email report.

  Listed as **Heify — AI meeting reports**.
</Card>

<Note>
  The Recorder only captures **audio**. Chrome's screen-share API requires you to pick a source — the video track is discarded immediately, except when you take a [screenshot](/recorder/recording#screenshots).
</Note>

## Connect to your account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the extension">
    Click the Heify icon in the Chrome toolbar. A small app window opens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Press Connect with Heify">
    A tab opens at `sandbox.heify.com` for OTP login (same flow as [Sandbox Authentication](/sandbox/authentication)). Once signed in, the tab confirms the connection and the Recorder switches to the main screen.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If connection fails, the screen shows a clear message (*no active session*, *invalid/expired API key*, *couldn't reach Heify*) with a **Retry connection** button.

## The Recorder window

The header always shows three controls:

* **🌐 Language** — UI language (ES/EN). Doesn't affect the report.
* **☀️ / 🌙 Theme** — light or dark.
* **👤 Profile** — your account modal (minutes, emails, role, disconnect). See [Account & plan](/recorder/recording#account-and-plan).

<Warning>
  Closing the Recorder window **mid-recording cancels the recording**. Closing while idle is safe — state is preserved.
