How to upload meeting recordings to Avoma
If you wish to upload a meeting into Avoma, you can do so from the Meetings page.
Not every meeting gets recorded in Avoma directly — sometimes you may have recordings from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, or even a file saved locally on your computer. Avoma allows you to upload these recordings manually so they can still be:
- Transcribed with AI-generated notes
- Enriched with Purposes & Outcomes
- Shared and reviewed across your team
This might be needed when:
- A Zoom/Teams/Webex call wasn’t connected to Avoma but still needs transcripts and notes
- A colleague recorded a meeting outside Avoma and you want to import it retroactively
A recording was saved locally on your computer (e.g., Zoom local recording)
Prerequisites
Before uploading a recording, ensure:
- You have access to the Meetings page in Avoma.
- Your file is in a supported format:
- Video: .mp4, .avi, .mkv
- Audio: .mp3, .wav
- The file size does not exceed your organization’s storage or plan limits.
You have meeting context handy (e.g., title, purpose, outcome) to make your uploaded file easy to search and analyze later.
How to upload a Meeting Recording
1. Go to the Meetings tab in Avoma.
