How to record a Slack huddle without a bot
Slack huddles have no built-in recording, and a notetaker bot can't join them. Reline records a huddle the simple way: it captures the huddle audio your computer plays plus your microphone, locally — so you get a transcript and summary of a call Slack itself won't record.
We're aligned on the rollout date — what's the gating risk on the auth flow?
The refresh-token edge case. Once that's covered we can ship to the pilot cohort.

How to do it
Start a recording in Reline on macOS or Windows, then open or join your Slack huddle.
Talk normally — Reline captures the huddle system audio and your mic on your own machine.
Stop when the huddle ends to get a transcript with speaker separation and an AI summary.
Let participants know you're recording where consent is required.
Why bot-free
Huddles are quick and ephemeral, which is exactly why their decisions get lost. Because Reline records what your computer plays, it works for huddles even though Slack offers no recording and no bot can join — so your decisions and action items survive the call.
Frequently asked
- Can a bot record a Slack huddle?
- No — huddles don't admit notetaker bots. Reline doesn't need to join; it records the huddle audio locally on your device.
- Does Slack tell people the huddle is being recorded?
- Slack has no recording indicator for huddles because Slack isn't recording — Reline is, on your machine. Tell participants yourself where consent is required.
- What do I get afterward?
- A transcript with speaker separation, an AI summary next to the kept recording, and reusable Lenses to turn it into a follow-up or action items.
