Creating a Report from an Audio or Video File
This article explains how to turn an existing audio or video recording into a Jamy meeting report, with transcript, summary, tasks, and more without sending a bot to a live call.

Last updated 3 months ago
What this feature does
Upload a recording file or paste a public recording URL. Jamy processes it and generates a full report, similar to a live meeting:
Transcript (with speakers when available)
AI summary
Action items / tasks
Topics, keywords, and questions
Template-based report sections (if your plan includes templates)
Shareable report you can send later
Supported platforms for live bots are separate. This flow is for recordings you already have.
Who can use it
The Create Report button appears only on plans that include report creation:
Pro
Premium
Pro new
Global Business
If you are on Starter, you will not see Create Report on the Recordings page. Upgrade to a plan that includes this feature.
Transcription minutes still apply on plans with monthly limits. If your Starter minutes are exhausted (when applicable), Jamy may ask you to upgrade before creating another report.
Where to find it
Log in to Jamy.
Open Recordings from the main menu
Direct link: https://app.jamy.ai/reportsClick Create Report (top right).
The page title in the app is Recordings (“View all your meeting and call recordings with transcripts”). The route is
/reports.
How to create a report
Step 1 — Open the Create Report form
On Recordings, click Create Report.
Jamy may first check your remaining transcription usage. If minutes are used up on a limited plan, you’ll see an upgrade prompt.
Step 2 — Fill in report details
Step 3 — Add the recording
Option A — Public URL
Select Recording Type → URL.
Paste a publicly accessible link to the audio/video file.
Example:https://example.com/recording.mp4The URL must be reachable without login.
Tooltip in the app: “This URL needs to be publicly accessible.”
Option B — Upload a file
Select Recording Type → File.
Click Select File.
Choose one audio or video file from your computer.
Supported formats (file upload):
mp3mp4mpegm4awavwebm
Only one file can be uploaded per report.
Step 4 — Choose a template (optional)
If your plan includes Templates:
Open the Template dropdown.
Pick a custom template, or leave the default (Standard Meeting Summary).
If your plan does not include templates, clicking the template field may show an upgrade / unlock option for Custom Templates.
Step 5 — Create
Click Create.
Wait while the file uploads (if using File) and the report is submitted.
You’ll see: “Report has been created successfully.”
The modal closes. Your new report appears on the Recordings list.

Use cases
Tips for best results
Use a clear Report Name so you can find it later in search.
Add all relevant participant emails if you plan to share the report with them.
Prefer a clean recording (minimal background noise) for better transcription.
For URL, confirm the link opens in a private/incognito window without signing in.
For long files, allow extra processing time and refresh Recordings if status is still PROCESSING.
Check Settings → Monthly Limits if creation fails due to transcription minutes.
After the report is ready
From the report page you can typically:
Read the summary and transcript
Play the recording
Review tasks and topics
Share via email / Slack / link (plan-dependent)
Chat about the meeting (plan-dependent)
