Names
Where Conclave for Mac gets speaker names in Zoom and Google Meet.
In Zoom and Google Meet
In Conclave for Mac, names come from the participant list Zoom or Google Meet shows on your screen, read through macOS Accessibility. No voiceprints, nothing about your voice. Your own lines are "You". In a two-person call the other person is named even though neither app marks who is speaking, once Conclave can tell which tile is yours. When a name can't be read, the line says "Participant", and you can rename it right after the meeting. Names pause in layouts Conclave can't read yet, and the window says so.
Your name in Meet
Set your Conclave name to the name you use in Meet. In a two-person Meet, that's how Conclave tells your tile from theirs. Set it under Display name on your account page at app.conclavehq.org/account.
Browsers
Meet names work in Chrome, Arc, Brave, Edge and Vivaldi. In Safari and Firefox the meeting is recorded without names.
What the window says

| "Names on" | Accessibility is on, and nothing has paused names. |
| "Names unavailable — turn on Accessibility" | Accessibility is off. See Permissions. |
| "Names paused — meeting window not visible" | Conclave can't see the meeting window. |
| "Names paused — Zoom's window is minimised or hidden. Bring the Zoom window back to keep names." | Bring Zoom's meeting window back on screen. |

Rename a speaker
Right after the meeting, open a line's menu in the transcript and choose “Name this speaker…” on a "Participant"
line, or Rename “<label>”… on a named one. Conclave then says: "Every line by “Participant” in this meeting gets
the new name." (with the line's label in place of "Participant").
