# Choose audio and video recording preferences (/docs/support/recording/desktop-app/choose-audio-and-video-recording-preferences)

When you start a recording, you can choose your microphone and other capture settings. The options available depend on whether you're recording from the [desktop app](/docs/support/recording/desktop-app/record-meetings-with-the-desktop-app).

## Choosing your settings

Select **New meeting** from the left sidebar. You'll see the recording screen with a **Record** button at the bottom. Circleback automatically associates the recording with the calendar event closest to the current time, select the chevron next to **New meeting** at the top to switch to a different event.

You can adjust your settings anytime before or while recording on desktop:

- **Microphone**: select the microphone icon to choose which microphone to use.
- **Screen or window**: choose a screen or window to record. Select **None** for audio only.
- **Computer audio**: toggle this on to capture audio from your computer. Recommended for online meetings like Zoom or Google Meet.
