Record Zoom Meetings with a Bot
In case you feel more comfortable recording with a bot, these are the steps to take.
Step 1: Integrate Zoom with Bluedot from the Integrations-page
Navigate to Integrations from the menu:
Find Zoom and grant it necessary permissions:
Click on the three dots next to Zoom and navigate to Settings:
Choose whether or not you want the meetings automatically recorded/uploaded:
Step 2: Customize Individual Meetings
Scroll to the list of upcoming Zoom meetings (automatically synced—no need to integrate Google Calendar).
Click on a meeting to:
Enable or disable recording.
Customize sharing options.
✍️ Note: If your Zoom meetings are on the Outlook/Google Calendar, and your kalendar is connected to Bluedot from the Integrations-page, you don't need to integrate Zoom directly.
Step 3: Open the Meeting in Zoom
A minute before the meeting is scheduled to start, the bot will appear:
Click Admit and then Approve:
The bot is now successfully ready to record.
Once the meeting ends, your recording will automatically appear in your Bluedot account (if auto-upload is enabled):
And that's how you integrate Zoom with Bluedot!
