Question
Please add an enterprise option for recording by internal company participants
Problem
I work for a medium size company and recording meetings on Zoom is constantly a pain point due to hosts going on vacation, or not being able to record a meeting. When this happens, our workflow is disrupted and the time of everyone in the meeting is wasted because we either don’t record, or have to create a new Zoom call, exit the call, and have everyone re-join a new call.
Zoom’s current (poor) solution
Per “Starting recordings without the host” the only viable way to currently do this at our company is to:
- Add all participants as co-hosts. This adds an additional task to manage for every single meeting. Sometimes people set up meetings and hosts forget to do this. Then we’re inconvenienced.
- Enable automatic cloud recording. The first few minutes of a Zoom call is usually small talk, or waiting for participants to arrive. Having this recorded would add extra work, as we would have to review and crop the recordings before sharing.
Design suggestion
- I understand that allowing participants to host may be a security risk. However, there are options around this that should be considered at an enterprise level.
- Add a meeting-level setting to “Allow internal company participants to record.” Security risks are mitigated. Enterprise customers aren’t inconvenienced by hosts not being available / not being able to record meetings.
