With auto-stop, Jamie ends a recording on its own when your meeting is winding down - no need to remember to click Stop.
Auto-stop is available in the Jamie desktop app on Windows (version 5.7.9 and above) and macOS (version 5.7.13 and above). If you don’t see the setting, update to the latest version.

​
How it works

While you’re recording, Jamie watches for three signals at the same time. When all three are true at once, Jamie automatically stops the recording.
  • Your microphone becomes inactive - for example when you leave a call in Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or any other app that was using your mic.
  • The scheduled meeting is near its end - in the final quarter of the calendar event, or within the last 15 minutes before it ends. Once the event has ended, this signal stays on, so a call that runs over its slot still stops as soon as the other two signals line up.
  • No speech has been detected for at least 15 seconds - Jamie waits for a quiet stretch so a brief pause doesn’t end your recording early.

​
Recordings without a calendar meeting

When a recording isn’t linked to a calendar event - for example an ad-hoc recording you started manually - Jamie falls back to a stricter rule: it stops the recording only after 10 minutes in which your microphone was continuously inactive and no speech was detected. The usual countdown runs before the stop, so you can cancel it if you’re still going.
With a connected calendar, Jamie links your recording to the matching calendar event when you start, so it can stop close to the scheduled end instead of waiting out the 10-minute fallback. Connect your calendar in Settings → Integrations.

​
Managing auto-stop

Auto-stop is off by default. Turn it on when you want Jamie to handle stopping for you. To review or change the setting:
  1. Open the Jamie desktop app
  2. Go to Settings → Preferences
  3. In section Meeting Automation, toggle Automatically stop Jamie on or off
You can also configure a countdown before Jamie stops - enabled by default - so you have a few seconds to cancel if you’re not done yet. Adjust Give me time to cancel and the countdown length in the same section.
This setting can only be changed in the Jamie desktop app. If you’re viewing your settings in the browser, open the desktop app to adjust it.
Want Jamie to start recording automatically too? See Auto-start recording. Prefer to stop manually? Leave auto-stop off and use the Stop button in the recorder.

​
When auto-stop won’t trigger

To avoid ending a recording too early, Jamie will not auto-stop when:
  • The Automatically stop Jamie setting is turned off
  • The recording is linked to a calendar event that hasn’t reached its final stretch yet
  • An app is still using your microphone
  • Speech was detected within the last 15 seconds - or, for recordings without a linked calendar event, within the last 10 minutes
