F) storing a final encrypted and encoded optimum track in a database;
G) publishing the final optimum audio track in confidential mode, with authorization;
wherein step A) comprises the following steps in the at least one electronic device;
a) activating a method in the electronic device via a user password;
b) executing an electronic device test;
c) checking for a connection with an available server;
d) performing a room test;
e) calibrating a meeting room, a main electronic device and at least one secondary electronic device;
f) calibrating a flag signal;
g) executing participant and meeting location identification processes;
h) registering electronic device technical characteristics;
i) initiating meeting recording;
j) initiating at least one parallel process;
k) finishing the meeting recording; and
,
1) sending the data containing the meeting recording to the server; and
wherein step F) comprises transmitting a ciphered flag signal, which contains at least one of the following;
signal type;
retransmission periodicity;
signal volume;
coding type;
identification type;
periodicity type;
said ciphered flag signal is transmitted by the main device and received by at least one slave electronic device, wherein the one slave electronic device stores the ciphered flag signal for subsequent synchronization, by the server, of the meeting recordings in the main device and at least one slave electronic device.

Abstract
A specific method is provided for recording, management and confidential distribution of meetings by means of multiple electronic devices, fitted with at least one microphone, mainly a mobile phone, an electronic agenda, or laptop. The method includes recording the meeting, sending this recorded data to the remote server, audio track synchronization, selecting optimum track sections to produce an optimum final track, store this ciphered, coded track in the database, and, finally, publish this track in a confidential manner.
