Will the phone keep recording with the screen off?

Browsers may pause when the screen locks; keep it on, or use the phone's recorder app.

Can I record a Zoom or Teams call here?

This records your microphone only; use the meeting's recording feature for everyone's audio.

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Ask the speaker or participants first, then place your phone or laptop close to the speaker rather than to you, and press Record. Pause during breaks so the file stays shorter, and for sessions longer than about an hour, stop and start a new recording to keep memory use low. Download each part right away; WAV works best if you plan to transcribe it.
