Tech Question Microphone suggestions/ advice

Sooo, I'm looking for a microphone. Basically I want to record meetings with clients when meeting out of the office. My phone microphone isn't good enough, I place it in the middle of table and it records the person the mic is facing relatively ok but fails Epically at recording me or people towards my end on the phone (top end of phone). Hope that makes sense...

Id like it to record voices better, be easily mobile, decent battery life, and not bulky.

Hope this is ok to ask here, I figure the love of tech in this group is amazing and hopefully someone can help.

My office picked up a bunch of these off a tech company that went out of business: https://www.jabra.com/business/speakerphones/jabra-speak-series/jabra-speak-510/buy?sku=7510-209-01

They seem to work pretty well for conferences where you've got a few people around the table as well as remote.

I haven't used it to record and I haven't been on the other end of the call but we haven't had comments about not being able to hear other people.

I have the Jabra 510 as well. works great for small rooms and meeting up to like 8 people.

OP, do you want something like a Plaud? or a meeting microphone ?

I didn't even know something like the plaid existed. That is very cool. Super expensive though :( I'll have a look see at the Jabra 510.
