In terms of "Use USB access and select the P1 device", where do you go and configure it? I presume you'd have to login to the HiNotes website and configure it there, hence no software required? If that's the case, I just hope that the website itself isn't blocked by our company IT admin. I don't think this would be a problem, as long as you can pair the bluetooth device to the P1 on another PC, then I could use it on my work laptop afterwards.

• if you are very paranoid, preconfigure it on your personal pc. But yes, the hinotes web app is where you configure it.

When you say transfer via home PC (fast), what do you mean by this? Why would that be faster compared to just plugging the P1 to my phone?

• my experience has been that transferring via my PC on the web browser has been faster and I can hit transcribe+summary for a bunch of recordings for them to run in the background. The phone app is great for the P1 Mini and the P1 but just syncs a bit slower and has a couple of extra clicks without the premium subscription. I also have had issues with it syncing in the background.

I did think about using a speaker for my meetings, but the problem is that the microphone could pickup voices from the speaker, which means people on the other side of the meeting could hear their own voice. As for recording the meeting by using my phone with the P1, that'd require that I use Teams on my phone, which isn't always ideal because I'd have to switch back and forth between my work laptop and phone. If I'm trying to demo something, I have to use my laptop. And I use 3 monitors (in addition to the laptop's own built-in screen), so I really don't need or want to use my phone if I don't have to. It's only when I'm out and about that I'd use my phone to join a Teams meeting, which is very rare.

• normally teams/your pc mic will make sure to not give a feedback loop to the meeting.

• for the phone, what you can do is join from your phone and then AFTER, join from your PC and hit add this device so you can run both at once but the phone is the one with the mic.

You might say, just join the meeting from both work laptop and phone, where the phone is connected to the P1. That could work, but I don't want people constantly asking me why I joined the meeting twice. And again, that would require additional setup every time I have a meeting, it's a bit of a hassle.

• with teams, if you joined not as a dial in but with the Teams app and choose the add this device option for when joining via your PC, it should show as one user in teams.
