Understand how the Meetings surface differs from an ordinary screen request and where its main controls live.

Open the Meetings workspace
Meetings is a separate LowLighter workspace for live listening, transcription, and assistance during a conversation. Open Meetings from the desktop sidebar to reach its composer, controls, session actions, and history.
- Assist
- Ask LowLighter for help from the Meetings workspace. Outside a live session, Assist can answer questions about the screen when screen context is enabled.
- Start Audio Session
- Begin a live listening session that transcribes the selected audio sources and makes the transcript available to Assist.
- History
- Open finished listening sessions from Transcription Sessions.
Use Assist during a live session
During a live session, Assist can use the live transcript, the selected meeting mode, and available screen context to suggest what to say. The meeting controls determine which context is available.
- 1
Choose the meeting mode
Select the mode that matches the conversation before you start listening.
- 2
Start the audio session
Select Start Audio Session and wait for the listening status to appear.
- 3
Ask Assist
Use the Meetings composer or its shortcut when you want live guidance.
- 4
Finish the session
Select Done when the conversation is complete so the session can appear in history.
Keep live work separate from ordinary chat
New Chat clears the ordinary Assist conversation without ending an active listening session. Finished sessions are handled through Transcription Sessions, while questions asked in the ordinary Assist conversation are not added to that history list.
Start with Controls. Set screen context, Invisibility, transcription language, and meeting shortcuts before your first live session.
Keep Meetings available after closing the dashboard
Closing the main LowLighter window does not quit Meetings. The visible Meetings overlay uses Swift on macOS and C# on Windows, and it is designed to remain responsive while using modest background memory.
Reopen the dashboard from the system tray on Windows or the menu bar on macOS. Choose Quit when you want to stop LowLighter, including an active Meetings feature.
