Workspace Setup

After installing Caret, you’ll need to set up your workspace. A workspace is a shared environment where you and your team can access meeting recordings, transcripts, and notes.

Creating a Workspace

1

Sign in to Caret

Launch Caret and sign in with your account credentials. If you don’t have an account yet, you’ll be prompted to create one.

2

Create a new workspace

After signing in for the first time, you’ll be prompted to create a new workspace or join an existing one.

Click on “Create a Workspace” to start fresh.

3

Enter workspace details

Fill in the details for your workspace:

  • Workspace Name: A name for your team or organization
  • Workspace URL: A unique URL for your workspace (e.g., yourcompany.caret.so)
  • Industry: Select the industry that best describes your business

Choose a workspace name that makes sense for your team. This will be visible to all members.

4

Customize your preferences

Set up your initial preferences:

  • Default language: The primary language used in your meetings
  • Translation language: Language to translate meetings into (if needed)
  • Theme preference: Light or dark mode for the Caret interface
