You need to authorise Granola to be used on phone calls. When you get to this step, they’ll send you multiple push notifications (so it stays in view) as a reminder of the code.
If you ‘pause’ a recording on Granola, and then wait a few seconds, it’ll prompt you to ‘end’ the recording to generate meeting notes.
