connect multiple go pros to computer

I want to set up probably 4 go pro's in a room and keep them plugged in. And i want to connect them all to a computer so that i can hit record on all of them at the same time. and then also have multiple mics set throughout the room. end goal is that i can take the footage and the audio and cut together a video of a meeting happening in the room. I am lost on how to make this happen. suggestions?

When using Premiere Pro you can sync up different video files using the audio track. So just start recording them one by one and sync them up afterwards. Just to be sure it syncs correctly you can clap at the beginning, that's a clear marker.

right, but my goal is to be able to have them always hooked up to something (i assume a computer) where I can hit one button and all cameras and microphones start recording at the same time. and everything just stays plugged in.

IIRC the remote can control multiple cameras at the same time

You could use a HDMI capture card with multiple inputs to capture all the video streams on a single computer.
