Meeting Summary and Smart Recording w AI at the same time?

[SBA93101]

If I enable Meeting Summary with AI Companion, how can I also enable Smart Recording with AI Companion at the same time? I love the meeting summaries, but I also want to access the full transcript (With the Smart Recording features) but I can't find a way to do that, I can only pick one or the other. Any ideas?

Hi @SBA93101! If you meet the prerequisites for both features, you should be able to use both. Make sure that Meeting Summary and Smart Recordings are enabled via the Zoom web portal before your meeting. Once enabled and you are in a meeting you're hosting, enable Meeting Summary via AI Companion and Cloud Recording which includes Smart Recording. For more information, check out the following resources:

• Using Meeting Summary with AI Companion
• Using Smart Recording with AI Companion

Thank you, Khat. So if I set:

• "Automatic recording > Record meetings automatically as they start" to On (Record in the Cloud)
• "Meeting Summary with AI Companion" to On
• "Turn on meeting summary automatically when meetings start" to On
• "Account Settings > AI Companion tab > Recording > Smart Recording with AI Companion" (And all related check boxes) to On

Then all new meetings (scheduled or ad-hoc) should automatically generate a Smart Recording and a Meeting Summary, correct?

If these settings are enabled in the host's settings, then yes. 🙂

is it possible to have that email with the zoom recording link to also contain the AI summary, ideally as text?

You're very welcome! 😊 Based on your settings:

✅ "Automatic recording > Record meetings automatically as they start" → ON (Record in the Cloud)
✅ "Meeting Summary with AI Companion" → ON
✅ "Turn on meeting summary automatically when meetings start" → ON
✅ "Account Settings > AI Companion tab > Recording > Smart Recording with AI Companion" → ON (with all related checkboxes enabled)

Expected Behavior:

• Every new meeting (scheduled or ad-hoc) should automatically:
  • Start Smart Recording (saving video, audio, and full transcript).
  • Generate an AI-powered Meeting Summary at the end.

This setup should work if your Google Workspace plan supports both features simultaneously (some older plans may restrict it). If you don't see both outputs in your Google Drive after a test meeting, it might be worth double-checking with Google Support or your admin settings.

Would you like a quick test scenario to confirm it's working? 😊
