I'm going to be doing a bunch of traveling with clients for meetings at work.

While normally these meetings are on teams, and recorded, these will be in person. I'd still like the option to record if the client is okay with it, but I'm wondering if it makes more sense to buy a digital voice recorder or just use an android app.

I've got a Pixel 8 or Galaxy Fold5 for the android recording, but I'd have no idea what apps are good or if the quality would be decent.

You have a Pixel 8 so you should be able to use google recorder with transcription.

Can you start a teams meeting with yourself as the only attendee and record and transcribe that way?

This is a interesting idea. You can have a solo session https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-meeting/e570d80a-4957-455c-b454-9f02f886c09f

It its also possible for mobile to have transcription.

Could also work. I'll have it, but it'll be sharing slides and off to the side. Not sure which will have better audio.
True. I have often logged in simultaneously into the same meeting from both my laptop and my iPhone, where the iPhone provided mic + video while the laptop was full screen watching someone else's shared display. I only had to do that because the laptop had no working mic at the time.
