Here's how it works!

Prompt the host for manually granting the permission to record locally for every meeting.

When the Avoma assistant joins the meeting, it shows a recording permission popup to the host asking for permission to record the current meeting.

This pop up will remain on screen until you select either Allow or Deny. Please choose one of these options to continue.

Note - The manual granting of permission to record locally can be skipped if the host is an Avoma user and has their Zoom account connected to Avoma as mentioned in the following help center article (please refer to sub-section Connecting with Zoom


Once the host clicks "Allow Recording", the Avoma assistant takes this as permission to start recording. This will also bring up Zoom's default recording disclaimer. With this in place, you can now start recording!


When the host clicks "Deny", Avoma assistant will no longer record and will politely leave the meeting.
