Article summary

The article discusses the settings required for recording meetings with Zoom's native recorder. Account and group settings need to be adjusted for Gong users. Cloud recording must be enabled, and automatic recording can be toggled. Zoom notifies participants of recordings. Optional settings include allowing Gong users to take notes on calls and deauthorizing users. Hosts can choose to record active speakers or gallery views during screen sharing. Email notifications for recording availability can be turned off to align with Gong's notification system.

Who can do this? In Gong, Tech Admin small label. In Zoom, Zoom admins.

This article covers both the required and the optional settings for recording meetings with Zoom's native recorder.

Required Zoom settings

The following settings can be updated on the account level, or for specific groups in Zoom that include all Gong users you want to set up native recording for.

These required settings are prerequisites to enabling native Zoom recording.

Tip

Zoom settings can be defined by account or by user group.

For more information about Zoom groups go to: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/204519819-Managing-user-groups

  1. Make sure that the Cloud recording setting is toggled to ON and unlocked for any group that contains users recorded by Gong.

  2. Automatic recording can be toggled to ON or OFF, but it must be unlocked for any group that contains users recorded by Gong.

Note

Recording consent disclaimer

Zoom will always notify meeting participants that a meeting is being recorded. It is not possible to disable this notification. For participants joining by desktop client or mobile app, the screen will display a recording consent disclaimer. For participants that join audio by phone, they will hear an audio prompt when they first join the meeting if it is already being recorded or at the time the recording is started.

Optional Zoom settings

The following settings are not mandatory but can be considered when enabling native recording.

Let Gong users take notes on calls

Enable your company Gong users take notes on calls AND have them timestamped and pulled into Gong as comments alongside the call.

To allow use of the Gong app for Zoom on a company-wide level, you must be a Zoom account admin with Marketplace role access.

Refer to this Zoom help article to set up pre-approval for Gong app for Zoom.

For more information on how your Gong users can take notes on calls, visit Gong app for Zoom.

Deauthorized users

When someone in your org no longer uses Gong, Gong removes Zoom tokens associated with them so that they no can no longer use the Gong app for Zoom. This does not affect your Zoom account or the historical data for that person in Gong.

Record meeting participants during screen share

With native Zoom recording, the host of the meeting can set up recording settings to include the active speaker or gallery as well as the shared screen in the meeting recording:

  1. Go to your Zoom user > Recording > Cloud recording settings.

  2. Pick what to show when the screen is shared:

    • Record active speaker with shared screen

    • Record gallery view with shared screen

  3. Click Save.

Email notifications

Zoom has an option to send an email notification when a meeting recording is ready. We recommend that you turn this off because Gong has a similar setting for when the recording becomes available in Gong.

  • Go to your Zoom user > Meeting > Email notification settings.

  • Toggle When a cloud recording is available to OFF.
