Zoom Recordings

The following sections describe Zoom AI Companion features and functionality integrated with Zoom Recordings.

Smart Recording

For cloud recorded meetings or clips, Smart Recording enhances meeting recordings by automatically generating a structured summary, highlighting key moments, and identifying action items without requiring manual review from a user. Using the recording’s transcript, Zoom AI Companion creates searchable, time-stamped highlights, making it easy for users to navigate and review important content.

With this feature, users can quickly find relevant information without watching the entire recording, saving time and improving efficiency. This is particularly beneficial for teams managing multiple meetings or for participants who were unable to attend. Smart Recording also allows users to access AI-generated chapters, summaries, and speaker insights, providing a streamlined way to catch up on discussions and next steps.

The following image provides an example of these features, detailing chapters, highlighted moments, etc.

Voice Recorder

The Voice Recording feature brings the power of AI Companion to in-person conversations—letting users capture, transcribe, and summarize live discussions directly within the Zoom Workplace mobile app. Ideal for on-site training or a face-to-face client meeting, users can record high-quality audio and automatically generate transcripts and AI summaries similar to those generated from meetings and phone calls.

Each recording generates a complete set of documentation assets: the original audio file, a searchable transcript with speaker labels, and an AI-generated summary that surfaces key themes, decisions, and action items. These assets automatically tie into Zoom Workplace, making it easy to revisit details, share context, and transition from conversation to follow-up.

Heads Up

During initial setup, users are prompted to confirm that they are following all applicable laws when recording conversations.
