# Discussions (/docs/context-capture/discussions)



Discussions [#discussions]

Discussions capture knowledge from team meetings, design reviews, and technical conversations. SageOx transcribes recordings and extracts insights that feed into your [Team Context](/docs/features/team-context), making team decisions searchable for your AI coworkers.

What discussions capture [#what-discussions-capture]

Discussions are transcribed recordings of human-to-human conversations:

* Sprint planning and standups
* Architecture and design reviews
* Code review walkthroughs
* Incident retrospectives
* Product strategy sessions

The insights extracted from these conversations — decisions made, constraints identified, rationale explained — become part of your team's shared knowledge.

Ways to add discussions [#ways-to-add-discussions]

Record in browser [#record-in-browser]

Use the [Console Recorder](/docs/context-capture/console) to capture meetings directly:

1. Navigate to your team's **Media** section
2. Click **Record**
3. Allow microphone access
4. Click **Stop** when finished
5. Add title and participants

Works on desktop and mobile. See the [Console Recorder guide](/docs/context-capture/console) for details.

Import from Loom, Figma, or Cap [#import-from-loom-figma-or-cap]

Import screen recordings, design walkthroughs, and demos:

1. Go to your team's **Media** section
2. Click **Import**
3. Paste a Loom, Figma, or Cap URL
4. SageOx downloads and processes the video

Design rationale captured in Figma walkthroughs and technical explanations in Loom videos become searchable team knowledge.

Upload audio or video files [#upload-audio-or-video-files]

Upload recordings from Zoom, Google Meet, or other sources:

1. Click **Upload** in your team's Media section
2. Drag and drop or browse for a file
3. Add title and participant info

**Supported formats:**

| Type     | Formats                        |
| -------- | ------------------------------ |
| Audio    | MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, WebM |
| Video    | MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV            |
| Max size | 500MB                          |

Paste existing transcripts [#paste-existing-transcripts]

For transcripts from other services (Otter.ai, Zoom, Google Meet):

1. Click **Add Transcript**
2. Paste the transcript text
3. Add metadata (title, date, participants)
4. Save

Pasted transcripts skip the transcription step but still go through insight extraction.

How processing works [#how-processing-works]

<Mermaid
  chart="graph LR
    U[Upload/Record] --> T[Transcription]
    T --> S[Speaker ID]
    S --> E[Insight extraction]
    E --> TC[Team Context]"
/>

1. **Upload** — Media uploads securely (chunks upload during recording)
2. **Transcription** — AI speech recognition converts audio to text
3. **Speaker identification** — Voices are matched to speakers
4. **Insight extraction** — Decisions, action items, and context are pulled from the transcript
5. **Team Context** — Insights commit to your team's shared knowledge

Processing typically completes within minutes. You can assign speakers to team members after transcription finishes.

Storage and access [#storage-and-access]

Discussions are stored at the **team level**. All team members can access them.

| Aspect     | Details                       |
| ---------- | ----------------------------- |
| Visibility | All team members              |
| Storage    | Encrypted at rest (AES-256)   |
| Location   | US-West-2                     |
| Deletion   | Immediate, by any team member |

Discussions vs sessions [#discussions-vs-sessions]

SageOx tracks two types of conversations:

|            | Discussions                        | Sessions                          |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| What       | Human-to-human meetings            | Human-to-AI coding conversations  |
| Examples   | Standups, design reviews, retros   | Claude Code coding sessions       |
| Capture    | Web recorder, video import, upload | Automatic via `/ox-session-start` |
| Feeds into | Team Context                       | Ledger (per-repo)                 |

Discussions capture team decisions. Sessions capture coding context. Both contribute to the knowledge your AI coworkers use.
