# Proposal

Meeting Assistant currently records the Windows default microphone endpoint and offers no in-app way to choose a different input. Users with multiple microphones need a stable configuration default and a quick tray-menu override without changing Windows settings.

## Changes

- Add an optional `Recording:MicrophoneDeviceId` setting.
- Keep using the Windows default capture endpoint when the setting is blank or absent.
- Enumerate active microphone capture endpoints for the tray icon menu.
- Add a `Microphone` submenu to the tray icon menu with one checked item for the effective microphone.
- Let selecting a microphone from the tray menu change the microphone used for the next capture start.

## Impact

- Affects Windows audio capture setup and tray menu rendering.
- Does not change system loopback capture or transcription provider behavior.
