Call Detection & How It Works
Which calls Tenali detects for you on macOS and Windows, and how to start it on everything else.
Tenali detects calls on the major meeting platforms for you, and you start it with one click on everything else. Detection works on both macOS and Windows.
How Detection Works
- When a call starts on a supported platform, Tenali shows a Meeting Detected card.
- Click Join and Tenali starts recording in the fully supported mode. If you leave the card, it closes after 15 seconds and nothing is recorded.
- For any other call, click Start Recording in the overlay or the menu bar to use universal capture.
- If you're already recording with universal capture and a supported meeting starts, Tenali offers to switch to the fully supported mode.
What Tenali Detects
| Platform | macOS | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom | Desktop app, and in Chromium browsers such as Chrome, Arc and Brave | Desktop app |
| Microsoft Teams | Desktop app, and in Chromium browsers such as Chrome, Arc and Brave | Desktop app |
| Google Meet | Chrome, Safari, Arc and Brave | Chrome and Edge |
| Slack huddles | Desktop app (audio only) | Not detected. Use Start Recording |
Everything else, including Webex, sales dialers, WhatsApp, FaceTime, phone calls and in-person conversations, runs through universal capture: click Start Recording when the call begins.
For the full list of supported platforms and what level of support each receives, see the Meeting Platforms Grid.
