What's new

Muvero’s Chrome extension for meetings is now in the Chrome Web Store: add it in one click, and Chrome keeps it up to date by itself. No download, no Developer mode. If you installed it by hand before, remove that copy in chrome://extensions once your recordings have been sent, and add it from the store; Settings → Apps links there.

The video beside the recap, the transcript and Ask now has its own controls: play, pause, the position, the speed and full screen, and a click on the picture plays or pauses it. They move the player bar too, so the sound and the picture stay together. “Pop out” puts the video in a floating player over the page that you can drag anywhere and make larger from any corner, its proportions kept; it stays open while you switch between the tabs. A frame under a line of the transcript now plays the meeting from that moment, so you see what was on screen as it was talked about.

With “Record video” on (Settings → Recording, on by default), Muvero for desktop records the window of the call app (Zoom, Teams, Webex and the others it offers) next to the sound, so shared screens and slides are in the meeting’s video, its frames and the recap. It records only the call’s own window, never the rest of your screen; when it can’t find that window, or the disk is nearly full, it records the sound alone and says so. On a Mac this uses the Screen & System Audio Recording permission it already asks for. Update to desktop 0.1.8 from Settings → Apps.

Each line of a meeting’s transcript has a menu (⋯). “Make a clip from here” opens the reel editor on that part of a meeting recorded with video, about half a minute long, ready to trim, frame and caption like any reel; it needs a plan with Reels. “Copy link at this time” copies a link that opens the meeting at that moment: the public link when the meeting has one, otherwise a link for your team.

A meeting recorded with its picture now shows, under the line being said, a small frame of what was on screen when it changed: a new slide, a shared screen, another document. Click one to see it large, step through the meeting’s frames with the arrows, or play the meeting from that moment. Muvero picks at most one frame a minute, the moments the picture changes and holds; a call that was only cameras has few or none.

The Chrome extension now records a meeting’s picture too, so a slide, a table or a prototype someone shared is there next to what was said. The video plays beside the recap, the transcript and Ask, follows the player bar, and “Larger” puts it full width when a shared screen is worth reading. “Record video” is on by default; turn it off in the pill before you start, or in the popup, to record the sound alone as before. It costs the same: an hour of meeting is still 65 credits. The video is kept for 7 days on Free, 30 on Creator, 90 on Team and 365 on Business, with a download; the transcript, the recap and the audio stay as long as the project. Update the extension to 0.4.0 from Settings → Apps.

When you started a meeting with “Record now” in Muvero for desktop while you were in a browser call, the recording knew nothing about the call: no meeting name and no names of the people in it, so speakers were harder to tell apart. Now, when the Chrome extension sees you in a call, “Record now” records that call: it takes the meeting’s name, who talks and who attended, as when you record a call Muvero offers you. Update to desktop 0.1.7 and extension 0.3.3 from Settings → Apps.

Chrome mutes a tab while it is recorded, so the extension plays the call back for you. It played it on your computer’s default speaker, so when the call used another one, such as a USB headset, the other people went almost silent in your headset as soon as the recording started. The extension now plays the call on the speaker the call itself uses, and records your voice from that headset’s microphone. Update to extension 0.3.3 from Settings → Apps.

When someone said “I wrote this morning…”, Muvero could read it as the speaker introducing themselves and name them “I”. Speakers are now named only from a name someone actually says, never from a pronoun or a word like “bro”. This applies to recordings transcribed from today on.

When a new version of the Chrome extension or Muvero for desktop is out and the one you use is older, the bell in the web app tells you, and Settings → Apps shows which version you have and how to put the new one over it. It goes away once you update.

Muvero for desktop now checks for a new version on its own. When one is out, the app says so at the top of its window, in Settings and in the tray menu, with a Download button for your system: open the file and it installs over the old version (on a Mac, drag Muvero to Applications). The web’s bell and Settings → Apps now also tell Mac users who signed in to the app with Google. Update to desktop 0.1.6 from Settings → Apps; after that, the app tells you itself.

A summary or recap, insights and finding moments for a brief now cost their credits per started hour of the recording, as Ask already did: a summary of a meeting up to an hour is still 5 credits, and a summary of a 2.5-hour recording is 15. Each of them reads the whole transcript, so a longer recording is more work. The price is shown before anything runs, and nothing changes for recordings up to an hour.

A sentence one person said no longer comes back split between two or three speakers (“Hello from” / “Denmark.”). Muvero now gives the whole sentence to the person who said most of it, while a short answer of its own, like “Yes,” stays with whoever said it.

Speakers get names from the conversation too. When someone is asked by name (“Steve, what do you think?”) and another voice answers, or someone says who they are, Muvero names that speaker, once the conversation says so more than once. For uploads and links the transcript says the names came from the conversation; in a meeting recorded with the extension or the desktop app, the names from the call always come first, and the conversation only names the voices the call couldn’t, such as several people in a room on one laptop. You can rename anyone in one click. This applies to recordings transcribed from today on.

With version 0.1.2 on Windows, an “A JavaScript error occurred in the main process” window could pop up during a call in Chrome, when Muvero for desktop and the Chrome extension stopped talking to each other. Version 0.1.3 fixes it. Download it from Settings → Apps.

When you started a recording and stopped it a second later, with nothing said, Muvero for desktop and the Chrome extension still sent it, and it came back in the library as a recording that needs a retry. Now a recording with no sound in it, however short, stays on your computer and uses no credits; you can still send it anyway. Update to desktop 0.1.5 and extension 0.3.2 from Settings → Apps.

When two people talked close together, a single word of one person’s sentence could land on its own line under someone else: “I think we should” / “move” / “the deadline to next week.” Muvero now gives such a word back to the person whose sentence it is part of and keeps the sentence on one line, so the transcript, the subtitles, the recap and the meeting stats show the speakers as they talked. A short answer of its own, like “Yes.”, stays with whoever said it. This applies to recordings transcribed from today on.

A meeting recap now reads like notes from someone who was there. It opens with what the meeting was for and how it ended, then the key takeaways with their dates, numbers and names, then every topic that came up with what was said about it. Each action item starts with who does it, and that name shows in bold. The recap knows who the speakers are, so it no longer mixes a label and a name for the same person. You can edit the topics like the rest of the recap, and the recap email, the Word and PDF export and Copy recap include them.

In a meeting recorded with the Chrome extension, Muvero sometimes split one person into two speakers, and asked you to merge them. Now, when the meeting showed that person talking and their voice matches too, Muvero joins them itself, so the transcript, the recap and the stats come out with one speaker per person. When the two signs disagree, for example two people sharing one laptop, nothing is joined and you decide as before.

When you record a call without headphones, your microphone also hears the others through your laptop’s speakers. Their voices used to show up a second time as unnamed speakers. Now Muvero recognises them as the call, gives anything only your microphone caught to the right person, and leaves the copies out, so the recording shows the people who were actually there.

The subtitle studio and the reel editor now open and close with a short animation, and the video on the page behind them stops instead of playing on. The subtitle preview has its own controls: play, a seek bar, the time and the speed show when you move over the picture. While the video plays, the open cue follows what you hear, so pausing leaves the cue you just heard open and ready to fix. A cue that needs a look but reads fine as it is can be marked “Looks fine” and leaves the list. The speaker chip on a cue opens the speaker options: rename them or give the cue to someone else.

You can now upload a recording of up to 4 hours, twice the old limit: a full-day workshop, a long podcast or a conference block, in one project. The transcript keeps the same speakers from start to end, and a 4-hour video is usually ready in 10 to 15 minutes after the upload. The file can still be up to 4 GB.

When a recording splits one person into two speakers, the transcript now says so: “Speaker 4 sounds like Ana. Their voices are very alike.” Click Merge to join them, or “Not the same person” to keep them apart. It works for every recording with speakers, not only meetings from the Chrome extension. Muvero only suggests: nothing is merged until you say so.

When one person shows up as two speakers, click either name and choose “Merge with another speaker”. Their lines join, and who spoke how much in the recap is counted again. A single line can go to another speaker, or to a new one, from the same menu, and both can be undone. For meetings recorded with the Chrome extension, Muvero also points out a speaker who is probably someone already named, with one click to merge them.

“Send the recap” now offers the addresses you sent recaps to before on any computer or phone you sign in on, not only in the browser you used. The × next to an address stops offering it.

Muvero now transcribes 99 languages, up from 19: Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Swedish, Arabic, Swahili and dozens more join Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Slovenian and English. Pick the language when you upload, or let Muvero detect it. Summaries, recaps and translations can be written in any of them.

Accuracy is highest in widely spoken languages and in the languages of our region. See them all, by region, on the languages page.

The audio you play in a project is now levelled, so a quiet voice and a loud one sound alike and a recording that drops in volume after the first minutes plays back evenly. For a call recorded with your microphone, both sides are levelled before they are mixed. Applies to projects created from today.

A reel can now run from 5 seconds to 3 minutes, up from 90 seconds, in the editor and from Claude. The moments Muvero suggests still stay under 90 seconds, the length that does best as a reel; widen one in the editor when you need more. A reel costs the same, whatever its length.

Settings is split into Account, Preferences and Apps. Apps holds the desktop app, the Chrome extension and Muvero in Claude, with a filter to show one at a time. Muvero for Android and iOS is in progress and will appear there when it is ready.
