# Setup guide
> Follow the steps below to get started
## Step 1: Sign up
## Step 2: Install Continuum
Continuum runs on **Windows**, **MacOS**, **iOS**, and **Android**, linked to your **Microsoft or Google account**.
Once you’ve completed the sign up flow in Step 1, you’ll be prompted to download Continuum to your device.
1. Download Continuum for your operating system:
* **Windows:** [Download for Windows](https://dl.oncontinuum.com/windows/nsis/universal)
* **macOS:** [Download for Mac](http://dl.oncontinuum.com/)
* Continuum requires a minimum of Windows 10 or macOS 12 (Monterey) to run, but works best on the latest versions of both.
2. Open the installer and follow the prompts.
* Open Continuum.exe from your Downloads folder
* The Continuum installer should run
* Open the Continuum.dmg from your Downloads
* Drag the Continuum icon into your Applications folder
* Open the Continuum app from your Applications folder
* Find Continuum in the [**App Store (iOS)**](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/continuum-ai/id6749549104) or [**Google Play (Android)**](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oncontinuum.app\&pli=1)
* Install and open Continuum
* Now log in with Microsoft or Google
When finished, open the app and **sign in with the same Microsoft or Google account** you used on the web.
**Tip:** IT-approved installation may be required for enterprise environments. Contact your IT team if you’re unable to install locally.
## Step 3: Calendar and audio permissions
When you first open Continuum, you’ll be asked to grant permissions so the app can:
* Access your **calendar** to detect upcoming meetings.
* Use your **microphone** **and speaker** to transcribe audio during meetings.
You can adjust these later in your system settings if needed.
## Step 4: Try a capture and AI notes
When you open Continuum for the first time, you’ll see a **Sample Meeting** pre-populated in your dashboard. You can use it to try out capturing, transcription, and AI notes.
1. Click into the **Sample Meeting**.
2. Press **Capture** to start. Continuum captures audio from your device. Try talking out loud or even playing a video on YouTube.
3. Watch the **waveform bars** move to confirm transcription is active.
4. When you’re ready, press **Stop,** then click **Generate.**
5. Within a few seconds, you’ll see a full **AI-generated summary**, **key discussion points**, and **action items** appear in your notes view.
This is a safe space to experiment. The Sample Meeting is **private** to you and not shared with your organization.
#### **Now you're all set!**
Your Continuum app should now look something like this, showing your upcoming meetings, and the suggestions about what you can ask the Continuum AI.
