Why audio expires
NoteWave keeps your meeting audio for a limited time, depending on your plan. After that it’s removed, and the player shows Audio expired.
| Plan | Audio is kept for |
|---|---|
| Free | 7 days |
| Pro | 14 days |
| Business and Enterprise | 30 days |
What stays in your account
Only the main audio is removed. Your transcript, summary and action items stay until you delete them. Short voice samples are kept for up to 120 days, so you can still rename speakers on an older meeting.
Keep a copy of the audio
Open the meeting and select Download audio on the audio player before it expires. You can do this if you own the meeting or can collaborate on it. People with view access can’t download it.
Can expired audio be restored?
No. Once audio has expired, it can’t be brought back. A higher plan keeps audio for longer, but that doesn’t restore a recording that has already gone. If you still have your original file, you can upload it again.
