Tactiq for macOS (Beta) lets you transcribe Zoom Desktop meetings without using a browser extension. Once the app is installed and you’re signed in, every Zoom meeting you join will be captured, including system audio and your microphone, and uploaded to your Tactiq dashboard when the call ends.

Requirements

macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel)
Zoom Desktop Client, up to date
A Tactiq account — create one at tactiq.io

Install the app

You can install the app during account setup.

Once downloaded, open the .dmg file and drag Tactiq into your Applications folder.

You can then launch Tactiq from Spotlight or your Applications folder. If macOS shows a security prompt, just click Open.

Grant permissions and sign in

The first time you open Tactiq, you’ll be asked to sign in to Tactiq and then allow a couple of permissions so it can capture audio during your meetings:

Microphone access to capture your voice
Screen & System Audio access to capture other participants

After that, you will be prompted to do a Test Call, which is important to make sure that everything works as expected.

Start transcribing

With the app open, you can simply join or start your Zoom meeting as usual.

Once you join or start your Zoom meeting, transcription will begin automatically as soon as someone speaks.

Once you're in the meeting, you’ll also see the Tactiq menu in your Mac menu bar. This is a quick way to confirm that transcription is running and gives you options to pause or stop transcribing if needed.

💡 Your transcript will appear in your Tactiq dashboard under the meeting’s calendar title once your meeting ends.

When your meeting ends, you’ll see a notification letting you know your transcription is being processed.

Your transcript will then appear in your Tactiq dashboard under the meeting’s calendar title once processing is complete.

💡 If the app quits mid-meeting, don't worry — Tactiq saves the recording locally and uploads it the next time you open the app.

Good to know

The app auto-updates — you'll always be on the latest version.
It's currently macOS-only and Zoom Desktop-only. For Google Meet, Teams, or Webex, keep using the browser extension.
