How to record a Zoom meeting without a bot

Record Zoom (app or browser) from your own computer, with no bot joining the call.

The problem with bots

Bots join as a participant, people notice, and some companies block them.

In the browser

Open Zoom in Chrome, click the MeetingNook icon, choose Start recording. The tab’s sound and your microphone are recorded.

In the Zoom app

Open the MeetingNook desktop app, pick the Zoom window, keep “Computer sound” on, and press Record.

After the call

You get the video and a Word file with summary, decisions, to-dos and transcript.
