The Zoom integration allows ScholarStack to automatically capture, transcribe, and analyze your class recordings — making them searchable and available to students alongside AI-generated meeting notes.
Setting Up Zoom
- Go to Dashboard → Integrations → Zoom.
- Click Connect Zoom and log in with your Zoom account (requires Zoom admin or account owner permissions).
- Authorize ScholarStack to access your meeting recordings.
- Once connected, past recordings sync immediately. Future recordings sync automatically after each meeting ends.
What Happens to Recordings
- Recordings are transcribed automatically using AI speech recognition
- AI generates meeting notes: key discussion points, decisions, and action items
- Recordings and transcripts appear under Recordings in the relevant course
- Transcripts are indexed and can be used as sources for student Study Summaries
Privacy
Only recordings processed by ScholarStack are accessible in the platform. Students see only recordings from their enrolled courses. Recordings are not shared publicly.
How the Zoom Integration Works
Once connected, ScholarStack places an AI bot participant in your Zoom meetings. The bot transcribes the session in real time, analyzes topics discussed, generates AI class notes, and uploads everything to the corresponding course in ScholarStack automatically — no manual upload required. The bot joins via a Zoom app installed at the account level by your institution's Zoom admin.
Prerequisites
- A Zoom Pro, Business, or Education account (Zoom Basic does not support cloud recording or third-party app bots)
- Zoom account admin credentials for your institution (needed to install the ScholarStack Zoom app)
- Cloud Recording enabled in your Zoom account settings
