This is an excellent product and exactly what I've been looking for. But most of my meetings are done on my company Mac, and they definitely won't let me install this kind of software, even though I'd be willing to pay for it myself.

And if it runs on the browser without install it would not probably be able to record your other browser (or app) audio
Why not? You can run Google Meet, Zoom, Teams in the browser, including screen sharing with audio sharing. The browser APIs are there (e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capt...).
A webpage cannot provide a system I/O device (camera, microphone, speaker, etc.). That requires a signed driver on MacOS.
Maybe we ought to be making little hardware passthroughs that plug into the headphone/mic jack and control them with idk the Caps Lock signal from USB HID to start recording.

It's very cyberpunk eventually...the human operator of the console needs to be able to see and hear the screen and sound, there will always be an interface that can be adapted to a machine, however low-fidelity
