How to Record Only Audio While Still Seeing Your Guest

With Waveroom, you can record audio and video podcasts and interviews. But what if you want to capture only sound and still see your guests when talking to them? Seeing a person is vital for the conversation since you can clearly see their emotions and reactions to your words. The good news is that Waveroom can help you with that.

If you want to see your guest or co-host when talking but record only your voices, here are the steps you should take:

1. Log in to your Waveroom account or sign up to create an account.
2. If you previously recorded with Waveroom, click + at the top left corner to create a new recording room. If you’re a new user, skip this step.
3. Select your microphone and headphones in the Devices tab under the video preview.
4. In the Record tab, disable the video recording by toggling it off.
5. (Optional) Enable additional features in the AI tab. Toggle on Remove Noise to cancel out extraneous sounds, Transcribe Speech to convert speech to text, and/or Create Summary to summarize what’s been said during the recording.
6. Click the Start Test Record button or head over right to Start Meeting to begin recording.
7. Invite your guest or co-host by clicking Copy Link or the room URL and send it to them. Once your guest or co-host joins, you will see them and yourself, but only audio will be recorded.
8. When you’re done, click the Stop button to end the meeting.

Wait a few seconds until the recording is saved. Once you see the Upload Completed notification at the bottom right corner, click the X sign to leave the room.

After that, you will be taken to the page where you will see a list of audio recordings. Here you can play and download them.

💡Tip: You can apply AI features to your recordings if you skipped this step before recording. At the bottom of the page, click Denoise to remove background noise from the audio, click Transcription to transcribe the audio to text, and/or click Summary to create an overview of the key points of your meeting.

That’s it! Your audio recordings are saved in the highest possible quality. Edit, share, and listen to them any time you want.
