Automatic Zoom Meeting Notes With AI

c1

 

The COVID-era normalized remote work for businesses around the world—and most people that read this would agree it’s here to stay. And if you don’t agree, well just ask the 300 million people that participate in Zoom calls each and every day.(1) I’d say that’s a strong indicator. The thing is, the countless hours on Zoom calls is a major time suck… (but it doesn’t need to be with automatic Zoom meeting notes).

For every Zoom call, first there’s the prep work. Then, the actual live call.

And then, the most daunting and time-consuming part of all, writing the meeting notes, downloading and uploading the recording, and sharing it with the attendees.

With over 3.3 trillion annual meeting minutes on Zoom(2), we can virtually guarantee that remote workers and Zoom users spend hours—if not days—each year scrubbing through videos, writing summaries and meeting minutes for their clients or colleagues.

If you’re thinking you don’t need summary notes for Zoom meetings, you’re wrong. 

Simply sending the meeting recording alone won’t get you any views. When’s the last time you watched a full Zoom replay? The truth is, no one has time for that.

That’s why it’s critical to have a note-taking and meeting summary process in place. It’s the most effective way to document and quickly summarize what was discussed, action items and next steps.

 

The “Old” Way Of Writing Zoom Meeting Notes

I spent many years working at a public relations agency in account management. And here’s how our process for writing call meeting minutes and Zoom meeting notes worked:

  1. Meeting
  2. Write notes during the meeting (and therefore, not fully engaged or paying attention)
  3. Meeting ends
  4. Wait for the replay
  5. Watch replay to ensure notes were accurate
  6. Write them up in format that easy to quickly scan—either in a document or email
  7. Share with Manager for review, feedback and approval
  8. Send to client

Let’s say this was a one-hour meeting. You can quickly see how this could easily be 3 to 4 hours of work, reviewing the recording, editing notes, and compiling it for a client.

The same process and experience is true for an internal meeting, customer success call, sales call or coaching call. Ever time you have a conference call on Zoom, it can quickly become a LOT of work.

This major headache was bogging our team down every single day. And that led us to ask the question… How can we leverage Searchie and Searchie Ai for automatic meeting notes and speed up this process?

It’s a lot easier than you think. Let’s dive in.

Every Zoom call recording is transcoded after it’s automatically or manually uploaded to your Searchie account. That means it’s transcribed, caption and entirely searchable by keyword spoken.

You can search inside the video by keyword, such as someone’s name, a key talking point, or an important date, for example. You will see why this is important in the next step.
