Manage Zoom's active speaker view settings for speaker detection in Avoma meeting recordings

With Avoma’s integration with Zoom, your meeting recording experience is more seamless and efficient than ever. But sometimes you see that the transcript does not have speakers correctly identified and that could be because you have not enabled Zoom’s Active speaker settings that help Avoma know which speaker is speaking while we are recording the meeting. 

You need to turn them ON so that Avoma can know and correctly associate the transcript with respective meeting participants. 

These settings are only for the correct detection of active speaker and do not affect the video playback in Zoom or Avoma. 

When you connect your Zoom account with Avoma we automatically turn them ON but sometimes the Zoom admins modify these at the organization level and users are not aware of it. If you do not have permission to modify them or you’re not the admin in your organization then send this article to the admin to update these settings so speakers can be correctly shown in the Avoma meeting transcript. 

You can update the same from 2 places
