Capture controls
Ambient can use sources such as screen, microphone, system audio, keyboard activity, active app/window, accessibility context, and approved agent conversations. Availability depends on platform, organization policy, and system permissions. Turning off a source stops future capture from that source. The master Start/Pause control stops or resumes all enabled sources without changing the individual toggles.Exclusions
Add apps and websites that Ambient should skip. Built-in exclusions and platform protections still apply. Check exclusions whenever you change browsers, applications, or work environments.Storage and processing
- Standard deployments keep capture artifacts and processed context locally and use remote services only as configured for processing and integrations.
- Local files and exported backups are not currently described as encrypted by Ambient.
- Recorder-mode deployments can upload approved raw capture sources to organization-managed infrastructure for later processing. On-device exclusions still run before an artifact exists.
- Uploading in recorder mode does not immediately delete the local artifact; local retention and the organization rollout determine its lifecycle.
