Complete Guide to OpenClaw + Zoom

Zoom is the world's leading video conferencing platform with over 300 million daily meeting participants. It's where business happens: sales calls, customer interviews, team standups, executive briefings, webinars, and training sessions. OpenClaw's Zoom integration transforms these ephemeral conversations into actionable intelligence.

Whether you're a solo consultant juggling client calls or a 5,000-person enterprise running hundreds of daily meetings, this integration ensures no insight is lost. Automatic transcription, intelligent summarization, action item extraction, and searchable meeting knowledge—all without lifting a finger.

Why Use Zoom with OpenClaw?

Zoom's architecture and ecosystem make it uniquely powerful for AI-enhanced productivity. Here's why the OpenClaw + Zoom combination is transformative:

1. Automatic Meeting Transcription and Recording Processing

Zoom generates transcripts, but they're just walls of text. OpenClaw transforms them into intelligence:

• Real-time transcription: Live captions during meetings with AI enhancement
• Post-meeting summaries: Get a 3-paragraph executive summary within 60 seconds of meeting end
• Action item extraction: Automatically identify and assign tasks mentioned during calls
• Decision logging: Track what was decided, who approved, and why
• Participant sentiment analysis: Understand customer reactions, team morale, or stakeholder concerns
• Searchable archive: Find any discussion from any meeting in seconds

This makes Zoom meetings as valuable as documented work. No more "we discussed that in a call" followed by silence.

2. Cloud-First Advantage: No Local Recording Storage Needed

Traditional Zoom workflows require:

1. Record meeting locally or to cloud
2. Wait for processing
3. Download recording
4. Manually upload to transcription service
5. Wait again
6. Read through transcript
7. Copy/paste notes into docs

With HeraClaw Cloud + Zoom:

1. Meeting ends
2. AI summary appears in 60 seconds
3. Action items created automatically
4. Done.

No file downloads, no manual processing, no storage management. Everything happens in the cloud instantly.

3. Zoom Apps Integration for In-Meeting Intelligence

Zoom Apps run inside the Zoom client, providing contextual AI assistance during meetings:

• Live note-taking: AI captures key points as you speak
• Smart agenda tracking: Know which agenda items remain
• Real-time fact-checking: During sales calls, instantly pull product specs or pricing
• Language translation: Real-time translation for international meetings
• Question answering: Participants can ask the AI questions without interrupting
• Screen share analysis: AI can read shared screens and answer questions about content

Example: During a product demo, a prospect asks "Does this integrate with Salesforce?" The AI instantly shows integration documentation without you leaving the call.

4. Zoom Phone Integration for Call Transcription

For organizations using Zoom Phone (cloud phone system):

• Every call transcribed: Inbound, outbound, voicemail—all captured
• Sales call analysis: Track objections, competitor mentions, pricing discussions

OpenClaw connects to your calendar (Google, Outlook, Exchange) via Zoom:

• Pre-meeting briefs: Get context on participants, past interactions, and discussion topics
• Automatic meeting join: AI bot joins scheduled meetings to record and transcribe
• Smart scheduling: "Schedule a 30-minute follow-up with the customer next Tuesday"
• Conflict management: Warns about double-bookings or over-scheduled days

Pricing: See cloud.getopenclaw.ai/pricing (starts with affordable team plans)

Get Started: Start with HeraClaw Cloud →

Setup Option 2: Self-Hosted (Advanced)

Time required: 45-60 minutes (first time), 20-30 minutes (if experienced) Technical skill: Intermediate to Advanced Cost: VPS hosting ($20-100/month) + storage costs + your time Best for: DevOps engineers, technical teams, strict compliance requirements

Who should self-host?

✅ DevOps engineers comfortable with cloud infrastructure ✅ Organizations with strict data residency requirements ✅ Teams already running Kubernetes/Docker infrastructure ✅ Technical enthusiasts with homelab setups ✅ Companies that cannot use third-party SaaS for compliance reasons

Who should NOT self-host?

❌ Small teams without DevOps expertise ❌ Anyone who values time over cost savings ($50/month cloud = many hours saved) ❌ Teams without 24/7 on-call coverage ❌ Organizations without security/compliance teams ❌ Users uncomfortable debugging OAuth flows and webhook integrations

Prerequisites:

• OpenClaw installed and running (Mac/Linux/VPS)
• Terminal/SSH access to your OpenClaw server
• Zoom account (Free, Pro, Business, or Enterprise)
• Zoom App Marketplace developer account (free to create)
• Public HTTPS URL with SSL certificate (for webhook endpoints)
• Understanding of OAuth 2.0 and JWT tokens
• Basic knowledge of webhooks and API integration
• Storage for recordings (local disk, S3, or similar)

Detailed Self-Hosted Setup

Step 1: Create a Zoom App

1. Go to marketplace.zoom.us
2. Click "Develop" → "Build App"
3. Choose app type: "Server-to-Server OAuth" (for backend integration)
   • Alternative: "OAuth" app if you want user-facing authorization
4. App Name: "OpenClaw Assistant" (or your preference)
5. Select account: Your Zoom account
6. Click "Create"

Note: Server-to-Server OAuth is simpler for automation (no user login required). OAuth apps are better if you want users to authorize individually.

Step 2: Configure App Information

1. Fill in basic info:
   • App Name: OpenClaw Assistant
   • Short Description: AI-powered meeting transcription and summarization
   • Long Description: (optional, needed if publishing to Marketplace)
   • Company Name: Your organization
2. Developer Contact:
   • Name: Your name
   • Email: Your email
3. Click "Continue"

Step 3: Configure Scopes

Scopes determine what your app can access. Add these scopes:

Required scopes:

• meeting:read:admin - Read meeting details
• meeting:write:admin - Join meetings as bot
• recording:read:admin - Access cloud recordings
• recording:write:admin - Manage recordings
• user:read:admin - Get user information
• webinar:read:admin - Access webinar details (if using webinars)

Optional scopes (for advanced features):

• phone:read:admin - Zoom Phone call logs (if using Zoom Phone)
• phone:write:admin - Manage phone settings
• dashboard:read:admin - Access analytics data
• chat_message:read:admin - Read Zoom chat messages (if integrating chat)

Click "Continue" after adding scopes.

Step 4: Get Credentials

For Server-to-Server OAuth:

1. You'll see:
   • Account ID
   • Client ID
   • Client Secret
2. Copy all three - you'll need them for OpenClaw config
3. These credentials allow your app to get access tokens

Important: Keep Client Secret secure. It's like a password.

Step 5: Configure Webhooks (Event Subscriptions)

Webhooks notify your OpenClaw instance when meetings start/end:

1. Go to "Feature" tab in your Zoom app settings
2. Toggle "Event Subscriptions" to ON
3. Add Event Notification Endpoint URL:
   • URL: https://your-openclaw-domain.com/webhooks/zoom
   • Replace with your actual domain
   • Must be HTTPS with valid SSL certificate
4. Zoom will send verification request
   • OpenClaw must be running and accessible
   • It will respond with validation token
5. Once verified, subscribe to events:

Required events:

• meeting.started - When meeting begins
• meeting.ended - When meeting ends
• recording.completed - When cloud recording finishes processing

Optional events:

• meeting.participant_joined - Track participants
• meeting.participant_left - Track departures
• webinar.started - Webinar events
• webinar.ended

1. Click "Save"

Webhook Verification:

Zoom sends a POST request to verify your endpoint:

{  "event": "endpoint.url_validation",  "payload": {    "plainToken": "random_string_here"  }}

Your endpoint must respond with:

{  "plainToken": "random_string_here",  "encryptedToken": "SHA256_HMAC_of_token_using_secret_token"}

OpenClaw handles this automatically if configured correctly.

Step 6: Activate the App

1. Review all settings
2. Click "Activate" (button in top right)
3. App is now live and ready to use

Note: If you want to publish to Zoom App Marketplace (optional, for public use), there's an additional review process. For private use, activation is sufficient.

Step 7: Configure OpenClaw

Edit your OpenClaw config file (usually ~/.openclaw/config.yaml or ~/.config/openclaw/config.yaml):

integrations:  zoom:    enabled: true        # Authentication (Server-to-Server OAuth)    auth:      type: "server-to-server"      accountId: "your-account-id"      clientId: "your-client-id"      clientSecret: "your-client-secret"        # Webhook configuration    webhooks:      enabled: true      endpoint: "/webhooks/zoom"      secretToken: "generate-random-string-here"          # Meeting bot configuration    bot:      # Bot display name in meetings      displayName: "OpenClaw AI"            # Auto-join settings      autoJoin:        enabled: true        # Join all meetings on calendar        allMeetings: false        # Only join meetings with this keyword in title        keywordFilter: "[record]"        # Calendars to monitor        calendars:          - "primary"  # Your primary Google Calendar            # Recording settings      recording:        enabled: true        # Save to local disk or cloud storage        storage: "s3"  # options: local, s3, gcs, azure        # Retention period (days, 0 = forever)        retentionDays: 365        # Transcription settings    transcription:      enabled: true      # Provider: openai-whisper, google-speech, aws-transcribe      provider: "openai-whisper"      # Language (auto-detect or specify)      language: "auto"      # Speaker diarization (identify who said what)      speakerDiarization: true          # Summary generation    summary:      enabled: true      # AI model for summarization      model: "claude-sonnet-4"      # Summary format: brief, standard, detailed      format: "standard"      # Auto-send to participants      autoSend: true      # Send to:      recipients:        - "participants"  # All meeting participants        - "organizer"     # Meeting organizer          # Action item extraction    actionItems:      enabled: true      # Integration with task management      integration: "asana"  # options: asana, jira, todoist, linear      # Assignment detection confidence threshold      confidenceThreshold: 0.7          # Calendar integration    calendar:      provider: "google"  # options: google, outlook, exchange      credentials:        # Path to OAuth credentials file        credentialsFile: "/path/to/google-calendar-credentials.json"

Step 8: Configure Storage (if saving recordings)

If using S3 for recording storage:

storage:  s3:    bucket: "openclaw-zoom-recordings"    region: "us-east-1"    accessKeyId: "${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}"    secretAccessKey: "${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}"    # Optional: server-side encryption    encryption: "AES256"

Alternatively, use local storage:

storage:  local:    path: "/var/openclaw/recordings"    # Ensure OpenClaw has write permissions

Step 9: Configure Calendar Access (for auto-join)

To enable automatic meeting join, connect your calendar:

For Google Calendar:

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project (or use existing)
3. Enable Google Calendar API
4. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials:
   • Application type: Desktop app
   • Download credentials JSON
5. Place credentials file at /path/to/google-calendar-credentials.json
6. First time OpenClaw runs, it will prompt you to authorize
7. Follow OAuth flow in browser
8. Refresh token saved for future use

For Outlook/Exchange:

calendar:  provider: "outlook"  credentials:    clientId: "your-azure-app-client-id"    clientSecret: "your-azure-app-secret"    tenantId: "your-azure-tenant-id"

Step 10: Start OpenClaw

# If running as a servicesudo systemctl restart openclaw# If running directlyopenclaw start# Check logsopenclaw logs --follow

What to look for in logs:

✓ Zoom integration initialized✓ Webhook endpoint listening at /webhooks/zoom✓ Calendar sync: 5 upcoming meetings found✓ Auto-join enabled for meetings with keyword: [record]✓ Storage configured: S3 bucket openclaw-zoom-recordings✓ Transcription ready: OpenAI Whisper✓ Ready to process Zoom meetings

Step 11: Test the Integration

Test 1: Webhook Verification

# Verify webhook endpoint is accessiblecurl https://your-openclaw-domain.com/webhooks/zoom# Should return: {"status": "ok"}

Test 2: Manual Meeting Join

1. Schedule a Zoom meeting for right now
2. Start the meeting
3. Manually invite the bot:
   • Click "Participants" in Zoom
   • Click "Invite"
   • Enter bot email (configured in OpenClaw)
4. Bot should join within 10 seconds
5. Speak for 30 seconds: "This is a test. Action item: John to send report by Friday."
6. End meeting
7. Check logs for transcription processing
8. Within 1-2 minutes, you should receive:
   • Email with meeting summary
   • Transcript saved to storage
   • Action item created in task management system

Test 3: Auto-Join (if enabled)

1. Schedule a Zoom meeting with keyword in title: "Team Sync [record]"
2. Set meeting for 2 minutes from now
3. Start meeting at scheduled time
4. Bot should auto-join without manual invitation
5. Verify in logs:

[INFO] Calendar event detected: Team Sync [record][INFO] Auto-join criteria met, joining meeting[INFO] Joined meeting: Team Sync [record] (ID: 123456789)[INFO] Recording started[INFO] Transcription active

If bot doesn't join automatically, check:

• Calendar integration credentials
• Auto-join keyword filter
• Meeting is on monitored calendar

Advanced Self-Hosted Configuration

Custom Webhook Secret for Security

Zoom can sign webhook payloads for verification:

1. In Zoom app settings, generate "Secret Token"
2. Add to OpenClaw config:

integrations:  zoom:    webhooks:      secretToken: "your-secret-token-from-zoom"      verifySignature: true

OpenClaw will verify webhook signatures to prevent spoofing.

Selective Meeting Recording

Only record specific meetings:

bot:  autoJoin:    # Strategy 1: Keyword in meeting title    keywordFilter: "[record]"        # Strategy 2: Specific meeting organizers    organizerFilter:      - "ceo@company.com"      - "sales@company.com"        # Strategy 3: Meeting duration (only long meetings)    durationFilter:      minimum: 30  # minutes        # Strategy 4: Participant count    participantFilter:      minimum: 3  # Only join if 3+ people

Multi-Language Transcription

Specify languages per user or meeting:

transcription:  # Default language  language: "en-US"    # Per-user language preferences  userLanguages:    "user@company.fr": "fr-FR"    "user@company.de": "de-DE"    # Auto-detect language (slower but flexible)  autoDetect: true

Custom Summary Templates

Define custom summary formats for different meeting types:

summary:  templates:    # Sales calls    sales:      sections:        - "Prospect Information"        - "Pain Points Discussed"        - "Objections Raised"        - "Next Steps"        - "Deal Score (0-100)"      model: "claude-sonnet-4"        # Engineering standups    standup:      sections:        - "Completed Yesterday"        - "Planned Today"        - "Blockers"      model: "gpt-4o"        # Default template for other meetings    default:      sections:        - "Summary"        - "Key Points"        - "Action Items"        - "Decisions Made"

Then, tag meetings in calendar:

• "Sales Call [record:sales]"
• "Daily Standup [record:standup]"

Sentiment Analysis

Track emotional tone of meetings:

analysis:  sentiment:    enabled: true    # Analyze overall meeting sentiment    overall: true    # Analyze per-participant sentiment    perParticipant: true    # Alert if negative sentiment detected    alertThreshold: 0.3  # 0=very negative, 1=very positive    alertChannels:      - "email"      - "slack"

Useful for customer success (detect unhappy customers) or team health (detect burnout/frustration).

Integration with CRM

Sync meeting notes to Salesforce or HubSpot:

integrations:  salesforce:    enabled: true    credentials:      instanceUrl: "https://yourcompany.salesforce.com"      clientId: "salesforce-client-id"      clientSecret: "salesforce-client-secret"        # Auto-update opportunity after sales calls    autoUpdate:      enabled: true      # Match Zoom participants to Salesforce contacts      matchParticipants: true      # Update fields      fields:        - "Last_Call_Summary__c"        - "Next_Steps__c"        - "Call_Sentiment__c"

Zoom Phone Integration

Transcribe phone calls:

integrations:  zoom:    phone:      enabled: true      # Transcribe all calls      transcribeAll: true      # Or filter by direction      transcribeInbound: true      transcribeOutbound: true      transcribeInternal: false            # Voicemail transcription      voicemail:        transcribe: true        summarize: true

Rate Limiting and Resource Management

Prevent overwhelming your server:

resources:  # Max concurrent transcriptions  maxConcurrent: 5    # Queue settings  queue:    maxSize: 50    priorityStrategy: "meeting-size"  # Larger meetings first    # Rate limits (Zoom API has limits)  rateLimit:    requestsPerSecond: 10    burstAllowance: 20

Troubleshooting Self-Hosted Setup

Bot Doesn't Join Meetings

Symptoms: Meetings start, but bot never appears

Potential causes:

1. Calendar integration not working
2. Auto-join keyword filter too restrictive
3. Zoom credentials invalid
4. Webhook not receiving events

Fix:

# Check calendar syncopenclaw calendar list# Should show upcoming meetings# Check Zoom authenticationopenclaw zoom test-auth# Should return: "Authentication successful"# Check webhook connectivitycurl -X POST https://your-domain.com/webhooks/zoom \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{"event": "endpoint.url_validation", "payload": {"plainToken": "test"}}'# Should return encrypted token# Check logs for errorsopenclaw logs --grep "zoom" --tail 100

Transcription Takes Too Long

Symptoms: Meetings end, but transcripts arrive after 10+ minutes

Potential causes:

1. Underpowered server (CPU bottleneck)
2. Slow transcription provider
3. Large meeting (many participants, long duration)
4. Queue backlog

Fix:

# Check server resourcestop -p $(pgrep openclaw)# Look for high CPU usage# Check queue statusopenclaw queue status# Shows pending transcriptions# Switch to faster transcription provider# In config.yaml:transcription:  provider: "google-speech"  # Faster than Whisper for long meetings  # Increase concurrent processingresources:  maxConcurrent: 10  # Process more meetings in parallel

Webhook Events Not Received

Symptoms: Meetings happen, but OpenClaw never gets notified

Potential causes:

1. Firewall blocking Zoom webhooks
2. SSL certificate invalid
3. Webhook endpoint not responding
4. Event subscriptions not saved in Zoom app

Fix:

# Test webhook endpoint externallycurl -I https://your-domain.com/webhooks/zoom# Should return: HTTP/1.1 200 OK# Check SSL certificateopenssl s_client -connect your-domain.com:443 -servername your-domain.com# Verify certificate is valid and trusted# Check Zoom app event subscriptions# Go to marketplace.zoom.us → Your App → Feature → Event Subscriptions# Verify events are subscribed and endpoint is validated# Check firewall allows Zoom IP ranges# Zoom webhook IPs: https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/ip-ranges/# Whitelist these IPs in your firewall

Action Items Not Creating Tasks

Symptoms: Meetings transcribe, but tasks don't appear in Asana/Jira

Potential causes:

1. Task management integration not configured
2. API credentials invalid
3. Action item confidence threshold too high
4. Workspace/project not specified

Fix:

actionItems:  enabled: true  integration: "asana"    # Lower confidence threshold  confidenceThreshold: 0.5  # Accept more action items (may have false positives)    # Specify Asana workspace and project  asana:    workspaceId: "12345678"    projectId: "87654321"    accessToken: "your-asana-token"

# Test Asana connectionopenclaw integrations test asana# Should create a test task# Manually trigger action item extraction on existing transcriptopenclaw meeting extract-actions --meeting-id 123456789

Calendar Authorization Fails

Symptoms: OAuth flow fails when authorizing Google Calendar

Potential causes:

1. Incorrect redirect URI
2. Credentials file invalid
3. API not enabled in Google Cloud Console

Fix:

1. Verify Google Calendar API is enabled:

   • Go to console.cloud.google.com
   • APIs & Services → Library
   • Search "Google Calendar API"
   • Click "Enable"

2. Check OAuth redirect URI:

   • APIs & Services → Credentials
   • Edit OAuth client
   • Authorized redirect URIs should include: http://localhost:8080/oauth/callback

3. Re-download credentials:

   • Download fresh credentials.json
   • Replace in OpenClaw config path
   • Delete existing token cache: rm ~/.openclaw/tokens/google-calendar.json
   • Restart OpenClaw (will prompt for authorization again)

Recording Storage Full

Symptoms: Transcription fails with "disk full" error

Potential causes:

1. Local disk out of space
2. S3 bucket permissions issue

Fix:

# Check disk spacedf -h# Clean old recordings (if retention policy not working)openclaw recordings cleanup --older-than 90d# Switch to S3 storage to avoid local disk issues# In config.yaml:storage:  type: "s3"  s3:    bucket: "openclaw-recordings"    region: "us-east-1"

Zoom API Rate Limiting

Symptoms: Logs show "rate limit exceeded" errors

Potential causes:

1. Too many API requests (common with large organizations)
2. Multiple OpenClaw instances using same Zoom app

Fix:

integrations:  zoom:    rateLimit:      # Zoom allows ~1000 requests per day for basic apps      requestsPerSecond: 0.2  # ~17/minute, ~1000/hour (conservative)            # Enable request caching to reduce API calls      cache:        enabled: true        ttl: 300  # Cache responses for 5 minutes

Alternatively, request higher rate limits from Zoom support.

Bot Crashes During Large Meetings

Symptoms: Bot joins meeting, but OpenClaw crashes during recording

Potential causes:

1. Memory exhaustion (100+ participant meetings generate large streams)
2. OpenClaw not configured for large meetings

Fix:

bot:  recording:    # Increase buffer sizes for large meetings    bufferSize: "512MB"        # Limit max meeting size    maxParticipants: 100        # Use streaming transcription for large meetings    streamingMode: true

# Increase OpenClaw memory limit (if using systemd)sudo systemctl edit openclaw# Add:[Service]MemoryLimit=4G# Restartsudo systemctl restart openclaw

Security Best Practices for Self-Hosted

1. Protect Your Zoom Credentials

# Never commit credentials to gitecho "config.yaml" >> .gitignoreecho "credentials/" >> .gitignore# Use environment variablesexport ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET="your-secret"export ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID="your-account-id"# Reference in configauth:  clientSecret: ${ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET}  accountId: ${ZOOM_ACCOUNT_ID}# Or use secrets managementauth:  clientSecret: "vault://openclaw/zoom/client_secret"

2. Secure Webhook Endpoints

webhooks:  # Enable signature verification  verifySignature: true  secretToken: "random-256-bit-string"    # IP allowlist (Zoom webhook IPs only)  allowedIPs:    - "140.238.128.0/20"  # Zoom webhook IP range    - "147.124.96.0/19"

3. Encrypt Recordings at Rest

storage:  s3:    encryption: "AES256"  # Server-side encryption    # Or customer-managed keys    kmsKeyId: "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789:key/..."

4. Implement Access Controls

security:  # Only specific users can access transcripts  accessControl:    enabled: true    # Require authentication    requireAuth: true    # Role-based access    roles:      admin:        - "admin@company.com"      manager:        - "manager@company.com"      user:        - "*@company.com"  # All company emails    # Audit logging  audit:    enabled: true    logFile: "/var/log/openclaw/audit.log"    logAccess: true  # Log who accessed which transcripts    logChanges: true  # Log modifications

5. Data Retention and Deletion

retention:  # Auto-delete transcripts after period  transcripts:    retentionDays: 90    recordings:    retentionDays: 30    # GDPR: Support data deletion requests  gdpr:    enabled: true    # Delete user data on request    dataSubjectRequests: true

6. Redact Sensitive Information

redaction:  enabled: true  # Auto-redact patterns  patterns:    - type: "credit-card"      regex: "\b\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}\b"    - type: "ssn"      regex: "\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b"    - type: "email"      regex: "\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z|a-z]{2,}\b"    - type: "phone"      regex: "\b\d{3}[-.]?\d{3}[-.]?\d{4}\b"    # Replace with  replacement: "[REDACTED]"

7. Enable HTTPS Only

server:  # Force HTTPS  tls:    enabled: true    certFile: "/etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain.com/fullchain.pem"    keyFile: "/etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain.com/privkey.pem"    # Redirect HTTP to HTTPS  redirectHTTP: true

8. Regular Security Updates

# Subscribe to OpenClaw security advisoriesopenclaw updates subscribe --email your@email.com# Enable auto-updates (or manual review)openclaw updates --auto-install security# Regular auditopenclaw security audit

Comparison: HeraClaw Cloud vs Self-Hosted

Why 95% of users choose HeraClaw Cloud:

✅ Time is valuable - 1 hour setup + ongoing maintenance = many hours lost ✅ Storage costs add up - Unlimited cloud storage vs provisioning S3/disk space ✅ Zoom API complexity - Webhooks, OAuth flows, rate limiting are non-trivial ✅ Transcription quality - We optimize for accuracy and speed ✅ Reliability matters - 99.9% SLA vs DIY uptime monitoring ✅ Support is worth it - Email/chat/phone support when integrations break ✅ Hidden costs - SSL certs, monitoring tools, incident response time

When self-hosting makes sense:

✅ You have DevOps engineers with capacity for ongoing maintenance ✅ Data cannot leave your infrastructure (compliance/regulatory) ✅ You're already running Kubernetes/Docker setups ✅ You want to heavily customize transcription or analysis logic ✅ You have 24/7 on-call rotation to handle webhook failures ✅ Your organization has strict vendor approval processes (SaaS not allowed)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a paid Zoom account?

A: No, the integration works with Zoom Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. However:

• Free tier: 40-minute meeting limit, limited cloud recording
• Pro and above: Unlimited meeting duration, cloud recording included

For best experience (automatic cloud recording), we recommend Zoom Pro or higher.

Q: Does the bot show up as a participant?

A: Yes. When OpenClaw joins a meeting, participants see "OpenClaw AI" (or your custom name) as a participant. You can customize the bot display name.

Some organizations prefer transparency ("AI Note Taker"), others prefer discretion ("Meeting Recorder").

Q: Can I hide the bot from participants?

A: No, Zoom requires bots to be visible to participants for privacy/consent reasons. However, you can:

• Use a discrete name ("Note Taker" instead of "AI Bot")
• Inform participants in advance (meeting invite or beginning of call)
• Enable notification so bot announces "This meeting is being recorded and transcribed"

Q: What languages are supported?

A: 50+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese), Arabic, Hindi, and more.

Transcription accuracy is highest for English (~95%), good for major European and Asian languages (~90%), and adequate for less common languages (~85%).

Q: How accurate is transcription?

A: Accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, and technical jargon:

• Clear audio, minimal background noise: 95%+ accuracy
• Moderate background noise, some accents: 85-90% accuracy
• Poor audio, heavy accents, lots of jargon: 75-85% accuracy

Tips for better accuracy:

• Use headsets (reduces background noise)
• Minimize cross-talk (mute when not speaking)
• Speak clearly and at moderate pace
• Add custom vocabulary for industry-specific terms

Q: Can I customize the summary format?

A: Yes! HeraClaw Cloud offers:

• Brief (2-3 sentences)
• Standard (2-3 paragraphs + action items)
• Detailed (full breakdown with timestamps)
• Custom templates (for Enterprise plans)

Self-hosted users can fully customize summary templates (see Advanced Configuration).

Q: Are recordings stored securely?

A: HeraClaw Cloud: Encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), stored in SOC 2 compliant data centers, access-controlled.

Self-hosted: Your responsibility. We recommend S3 with server-side encryption, access controls, and audit logging.

Q: How long are recordings kept?

A: HeraClaw Cloud: Configurable retention (default: 1 year, up to forever on Enterprise plans)

Self-hosted: You configure retention policy. We recommend 90-365 days for compliance, auto-delete after.

Q: Can I share transcripts with people who weren't in the meeting?

A: Yes. After the meeting:

• Forward the email summary
• Share a link to the transcript (HeraClaw Cloud)
• Export transcript as PDF, DOCX, or TXT
• Integrate with Notion, Confluence, or Google Docs for automatic sharing

Q: Does this work with Zoom Webinars?

A: Yes! Webinar support includes:

• Transcription of presenter audio
• Q&A synthesis (summarize hundreds of questions)
• Poll result analysis
• Attendee engagement tracking
• Follow-up automation

Q: Can I use this for Zoom Phone calls?

A: Yes, if you have Zoom Phone. All calls (inbound, outbound, internal) can be transcribed and summarized. Perfect for sales teams and support centers.

Q: What about HIPAA compliance?

A: HeraClaw Cloud: HIPAA compliance available on Enterprise plans (requires BAA).

Self-hosted: You control the infrastructure. Zoom is HIPAA-compliant, and if you deploy OpenClaw in a HIPAA-compliant environment, the full stack can be compliant.

Q: Can it identify who said what?

A: Yes, speaker diarization is supported. The AI identifies different speakers and labels them ("Speaker 1," "Speaker 2," etc.).

For best results, participants should:

• Use separate audio devices (not speakerphone with multiple people)
• Introduce themselves at the start
• Avoid talking over each other

Q: What if someone joins by phone?

A: Phone participants are included in transcription. Audio quality may be lower (phone line quality), so accuracy might drop slightly.

Q: Can I edit transcripts after the meeting?

A: Yes. HeraClaw Cloud provides a transcript editor. You can:

• Correct transcription errors
• Add notes or annotations
• Redact sensitive information
• Export edited version

Self-hosted users can access transcripts as JSON/text files and edit manually or via custom tools.

Q: Does it integrate with Slack/Teams?

A: Yes! Send meeting summaries to:

• Slack channels (e.g., #sales-calls, #team-sync)
• Microsoft Teams channels
• Email
• Task management tools (Asana, Jira, etc.)

Q: Can I get action items automatically created in my task manager?

A: Yes. Supported integrations:

• Asana
• Jira
• Monday.com
• Todoist
• Linear
• ClickUp

Action items extracted from meetings are automatically created as tasks with due dates and assignees.

Q: What if the AI misses an action item?

A: You can:

• Manually review transcripts and add missed items
• Adjust confidence threshold (lower = more action items detected, but more false positives)
• Use custom keywords ("TODO," "Action item," "Follow up") to improve detection

Q: Can I use this for one-on-one meetings?

A: Absolutely. Many users use it for:

• 1:1s with direct reports
• Sales calls
• Customer interviews
• Coaching sessions
• Performance reviews

Transcription works the same regardless of participant count.

Q: What about recording consent and privacy?

A: Legal disclaimer: Recording laws vary by jurisdiction. Some regions require all-party consent, others require only one-party consent. You are responsible for ensuring compliance with local laws.

Best practices:

• Inform participants at the start of the call
• Add "This meeting will be recorded" to calendar invites
• Enable Zoom's built-in recording consent prompt
• Check your local and participants' jurisdictions

Q: Can I use this for customer support calls?

A: Yes! Common use cases:

• Transcribe support calls for quality assurance
• Extract customer pain points
• Identify product bugs mentioned frequently
• Auto-update support tickets with call summaries
• Coach support reps based on call analysis

Q: Does it work with Zoom Rooms?

A: Yes. Zoom Rooms (conference room systems) are fully supported. The bot can join room meetings just like regular Zoom meetings.
