To achieve the best experience and recording quality on Zoom web conferencing, users need a Zoom Pro, Business, or Enterprise license to enable the native recording feature. Recording with Zoom offers benefits such as high-quality video and audio, on-screen notifications, and the ability for the host to control recording. Gong governs native Zoom recording similarly to the Gong bot, ensuring privacy settings and business logic are maintained. However, there are limitations compared to recording with the Gong bot, such as the inability to record breakout rooms. It may take longer for calls to appear in Gong when using native Zoom recording due to retrieval processes.
When using Zoom web-conferencing, enable native Zoom recording for the best experience and recording quality.
Prerequisites
To enable Zoom Native recording feature you must have one of the following Zoom licenses:
Zoom Pro
Zoom Business
Zoom Enterprise
Benefits to recording with native Zoom
Gong governs native recording with Zoom in a similar fashion as recording with the Gong bot, meaning that the same business logic and privacy settings in Gong apply. Gong will start Zoom recording and retrieve the recordings from Zoom based on these rules.
Recording with Zoom (native recording) has clear benefits:
Highest-possible video and audio recording
On-screen recording notification
Host can stop, start, and pause the recording as needed (for example, this is useful when screen-sharing or discussing sensitive information)
No phantom meeting participant (i.e. the Gong bot)
Ability to leverage Zoom's customizable consent options
Zoom's recording prompt plays privately so participants only hear it once
Bring call Zoom chats into Gong
Leverage Gong app for Zoom to take notes during meetings that are timestamped and shown in the call page
A few limitations compared to recording with the Gong bot:
No breakout rooms - where the Gong bot can get assigned to a room and record there, with native recording, we can't do that.
Note that it can take a little longer for the call to appear in Gong. This is due to Gong waiting for the call to be ready in Zoom for retrieval.
What to do next: enable Zoom recording!
