Why

Meeting Assistant can record audio on macOS, but the portable build does not register the configured global shortcuts or provide the menu-bar controls used for the normal Windows desktop workflow. macOS users must call HTTP endpoints manually.

What Changes

  • Add a native macOS menu-bar companion that starts and stops with Meeting Assistant.
  • Register the same configured recording, abort, and screenshot shortcuts used on Windows.
  • Expose recording/profile controls, Open agent, and exit from the macOS menu bar.
  • Keep recording lifecycle behavior behind the existing local HTTP/service surface.

Capabilities

Modified Capabilities

  • meeting-recording: configured global recording controls work on macOS.
  • meeting-session: the desktop control menu is available from the macOS menu bar.

Impact

  • MeetingAssistant/Native/MacOsDesktopControls
  • portable macOS build/publish output
  • startup service registration
  • desktop-control behavior tests and macOS runtime documentation
