Does RecordX post transcripts back to Slack automatically?

No. RecordX does not install a Slack app or hold Slack tokens. After a huddle ends, the transcript, summary, and action items land in your RecordX library - copy the recording link and paste it into the channel yourself when you want to share it.

Does the Slack integration work in the Slack desktop app?

No. Capture happens through the Chrome extension on app.slack.com, so the huddle has to be running in a browser tab. The Slack desktop client is not covered.

Can I record a huddle I didn't start?

Yes. The extension records the tab audio your browser is playing, so any huddle you're joined into can be captured from your side. Consent laws in your jurisdiction still apply.

Does this work for huddles in private channels?

Yes. Whether the channel is public, private, or a DM does not matter - the extension only sees the audio playing in the tab you have open.

Does RecordX read my Slack messages?

No. There is no Slack app, no OAuth grant, and no API access. RecordX cannot see channel names, message content, member lists, or anything else in your workspace - only the huddle audio playing in the tab.

How it works

The RecordX Chrome extension records tab audio while a Slack huddle or Slack Call is running in app.slack.com. There is no Slack app to install, no OAuth grant, and no bot on the channel - your browser does the capture. Audio, transcript, AI summary, and action items land in the same library as your Zoom, Meet, and Teams recordings, usually within a minute of the huddle ending. Sharing the recording back into a Slack channel is a manual copy-paste of the RecordX link.

Setup

Register at recordx.io/register. The free tier gives you 60 minutes of recording per month, no card.
Install the RecordX Chrome extension from the Web Store. Grant tab capture on first use.
Open Slack in Chrome at app.slack.com - the extension only works in the browser client.
Start or join a huddle, then click the RecordX extension icon to begin recording. The keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows/Linux, Command+Shift+R on macOS) toggles it too.
End the huddle and open Recordings in the RecordX web app to review the transcript, summary, and action items. Copy the recording link and paste it back into the channel if you want to share.

Permissions

Chrome extension: tabCapture, offscreen, storage, identity, alarms, notifications. Host permission on app.slack.com.
No Slack app is installed and no OAuth flow runs. RecordX holds no Slack tokens and cannot call the Slack API. Nothing needs Workspace-admin approval.
Audio streams straight from the Chrome tab to RecordX storage in eu-central-1 - it does not transit Slack's infrastructure.

Pricing and limits

Free plan: 60 minutes per month. Huddle capture pulls from the same balance as your other recordings.
Paid plans and pay-as-you-go top-ups raise the ceiling; see pricing.
Slack itself does not charge for the huddle. Slack's free plan caps huddles at 1:1 - group huddles need a paid Slack plan on the workspace.
Recording length is bounded by the huddle's own runtime; the extension stops when the huddle ends.

Common gotchas

Only works in Slack for web (app.slack.com). The Slack desktop client is Electron but the Chrome extension does not run there - open the huddle in a browser instead.
Slack Calls (the one-to-one call button in a DM or channel) also open in a browser tab and work the same way as huddles.
Screen shares inside a huddle produce a video track, but the extension captures the audio track only. Nothing visual is recorded.
Muting the Slack tab in Chrome (right-click - Mute site) silences the recording. Same for switching the huddle to the Slack desktop app mid-session - capture stops the moment the audio leaves the tab.
Consent laws are local. Some jurisdictions require every participant's consent to record; others are one-party. Check your rules before capturing huddles you didn't start.

Alternatives and adjacent

Slack Clips is the built-in async-video option and lives inside the workspace, so viewership stays with Slack members. Otter and similar tools ship a Slack bot that can post summaries into channels - RecordX does not do that today; sharing is a manual paste of the recording link. Use RecordX when you want one searchable transcript library across huddles, Zoom, Meet, Teams, and phone calls, with the same summary engine on every recording.

Setup checklist

Register at recordx.io.
Install the RecordX Chrome extension.
Open Slack in Chrome at app.slack.com.
Start or join a huddle and click the extension icon to record.
Open Recordings and copy the link into the channel to share.
