Set up and record on Apple Watch
Record conversations from your wrist.
What you need
- Apple Watch with watchOS 10 or later
- A paired iPhone with Listel installed and signed in
You need your iPhone for setup, but not when you record.
Set it up
Install Listel on your watch
Open the Watch app on your iPhone, find Listel under Available Apps and tap Install.
Open Listel on your watch
The watch connects to the account you're signed in to on your iPhone.
Confirm the connection
On your iPhone, open Settings → Device → Apple Watch. You can also connect or disconnect the watch here.
Accept the consent notice
The first time you record, confirm the notice about letting people know you're recording.
Record
Open Listel on your watch and tap Record. You can also start from a complication, the Smart Stack, Siri, or the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra.
Each time you start, a 3-second reminder appears so you can let people know. If your workspace requires recording consent, the watch asks you to confirm it after recording starts instead. While you record, the watch shows a red REC indicator and a timer.
Link a recording to a meeting
Home shows the meeting that's on now, or your next one today. If a meeting is on or starts within 15 minutes, Record links the recording to it, which also links it to your CRM. To record something else, choose Record without meeting.
