If you miss a meeting, you can get the key takeaways from it in a form that you can digest quickly with the recording highlights feature. When Zoom AI is enabled in a meeting and an audio transcript is being recorded, the most significant parts will be highlighted. It is possible for hosts to adjust highlights and to save highlights as separate files so they can eliminate those parts of the recordings that are unnecessary. You can either watch the meeting highlights, or you can watch the entire meeting recording, depending on the way in which the host decides to share the recording.

How to generate recording highlights

Recording highlights can only be generated if you already have a cloud recording and a transcription of the audio transmitted. There is no guarantee that the cloud recordings will be processed within 24 hours, but typically it takes about twice as long as the meeting duration. When the cloud recordings have been processed and the transcripts attached, you will be notified by email. In the emails you will also be provided with a link to access the recordings and transcripts.

Once the cloud recording and audio transcription have been processed, you will be able to see a summary of the recording.

Once you have finished selecting the highlights, click Done.Note: Clicking on the pencil icon next to any paragraph in the transcript will allow you to modify the text there.

The highlights can be saved to a new video clip, so viewers will only be able to view the recording highlights when you are ready to share the recording with viewers, or you can share the original recording with the highlighted highlights. Viewers can choose to watch the original recording or just the highlights if you share the original recording with them.

Save highlights to a new video clip
