Hi, I am currently developing a transcription AI project. However, I have encountered a challenge: Zoom participants who are not the meeting host cannot record the meeting, which prevents us from making audio available for transcription.
I would like to ask:
Has any other Developers faced this issue with non-host participants being unable to record Zoom meetings?
What approaches or solutions have been used to resolve this problem?
Any insights, documentation, or recommendations you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I suggest you look at what zoom can do already, you are in risk of creating a product that already exists, so you will need a good use case to repeat.
The host can request a meeting is recorded and a user to the meeting can only make a recording by being in the meeting and if they are asking zoom to make that recording then the host will have to give permission.
Some developers have sent automated bots into meetings to make the recordings. But the poor execution of such projects is starting a backlash and I would humbly suggest this is not a good move.
Zoom not only can record the meeting, but also produces a very high quality transcript and its own AI can give meeting summaries.
So I wonder why you have been asked to make a transcription, when one already exists.
Is it not better to make sure the recording and transcription are made by zoom and then process the information from there?
if you want to capture the content live, you may look at RTMS,
This is a great question! There are actually a ton of different approaches to transcribing a Zoom meeting (e.g. Zoom Cloud Recording, Zoom Meeting SDK, Zoom RTMS). There are tradeoffs and differences between these approaches, and I would need to know more about your specific use case to tell which is best for you.
I wanted to recommend this article for details on 7 different API’s to retrieve transcripts from Zoom meetings. If you have specific questions on any of these approaches, I’m more than happy to help out!
As mentioned in the article you shared : Zoom Realtime Media Streams | Zoom that zoom will be able to detect deepAI voices and also a lot of tricksters use various tools to bypass the interviews using fake voices. So effective it has been proven for now?
