Permissions & setup

Grant microphone and screen recording so Sayli hears both sides of the call.


You join a call and Sayli is already hearing both sides. That takes two macOS permissions. Sayli asks for them one at a time, and previews each system dialog first, so you know what to click.

Both halves of the call get transcribed

Microphone lets Sayli hear you. Screen Recording lets Sayli hear the other side, the system audio, captured through macOS ScreenCaptureKit. Grant both and the whole conversation is transcribed, not just your half.

Microphone
Your voice.
Screen Recording
The other side, through system audio.
Screen Recording is how Sayli hears them

The other person's audio comes in as system audio, and macOS gates that behind the Screen Recording permission. Without it, Sayli only hears you.

Sayli previews each dialog before it appears

You grant one permission at a time. Before each macOS dialog shows up, Sayli previews it, so you know exactly which button to press.

Invisible on screen share, no setting to remember

Being invisible to screen share is handled at the operating system level. It is not a toggle you enable and it is not a thing you can forget to turn on. Once you share your screen, Sayli stays out of the capture.

Change your microphone later

You can pick your microphone and run a live level test anytime in Settings, under Audio. Do it before a call that matters to confirm your input is coming through.
