Overview

My Notes is a Zoom feature that allows meeting participants to create and save personal notes during a Zoom meeting. Notes are stored within the user's Zoom account and can be referenced after the meeting ends.

AI-Powered Meeting Notes and Transcripts

One of the most powerful features of Zoom Notes is its ability to work alongside meeting transcripts.

When a Zoom meeting is recorded with transcription enabled, Zoom can generate a transcript of the meeting conversation. 

Note: Transcript and AI-generated notes features may vary depending on your Zoom account permissions and whether the meeting was recorded with transcription enabled.
