Does Slack record huddles? No. Here is how to record one on Mac.

No. Slack has no audio or video recording for huddles, and the audio is not saved when the huddle ends. On paid plans, Slack AI can take huddle notes: a summary canvas in the huddle thread, with a transcript attached. That is text only, it is not available in huddles with external people or guests, and workspace admins can switch it off.

Not the audio. There is no record button, no download, and no admin setting that adds one. The closest built-in option is Slack AI huddle notes on paid plans, which saves a written summary and transcript, not a recording you can play back.

Not by default. Live captions are English-only and are not saved once the huddle ends. Unless someone used Slack AI notes, what remains afterward is the huddle thread: the messages and links people shared during the call.

Yes, on your own computer. Because Slack keeps no recording, you capture the audio locally while the huddle happens. On a Mac, Mac Note Taker records your microphone and the huddle audio, then transcribes it with speaker labels on the Mac. No bot joins and nothing is uploaded.

Install Mac Note Taker, start or join the huddle, and press Record in the menubar (the app also notices the huddle and offers to record). When you stop, you get the audio, a speaker-labeled transcript, and an AI summary, all on your Mac.

The same way. Slack calls and huddles play through the Slack app, and Mac Note Taker records the Mac's system audio plus your microphone, so whatever Slack is playing ends up in the recording.

Two ways. On a paid Slack plan, Slack AI notes can attach a transcript to the huddle canvas, except in huddles with guests or external people. Or record the huddle with Mac Note Taker, which gives you a speaker-labeled transcript, a summary, and action items on any Slack plan, stored on your Mac.

No. The recording happens in macOS, outside Slack, so Slack shows nothing to the other participants. Tell them anyway: consent rules differ by country and state, and some require everyone to agree.

It depends on where you and the other people are. Many places require one-party consent; some require all-party consent. Announcing that you are recording is good practice everywhere and legally required in some places.

Yes. Mac Note Taker records the Mac's system audio, so it works whether the huddle runs in the Slack desktop app or in a browser tab.

Mac Note Taker records the audio. What is on the shared screen is not transcribed, but the conversation around it is.
