What Is the Arctera Zoom Meetings Integration?

The Arctera Zoom Meetings integration uses Zoom APIs with OAuth-based authentication to retrieve recorded meeting data from Zoom environments. It performs scheduled API-based collection, captures meeting metadata, recording files, transcripts, and in-meeting chat content, and transforms them into standardized, archive-ready output for supervision, retention, and eDiscovery workflows.

This integration is used by compliance, legal, and IT teams to capture and govern meeting-based communications in a consistent and reviewable format.

How the Zoom Meetings Connector Works

The Zoom Meetings connector operates as a scheduled ingestion pipeline that retrieves recorded meeting data from Zoom APIs, normalizes records, and delivers them into the Arctera Unified Platform archive for supervision, retention, and eDiscovery workflows.

t-b-s
Step 1: Zoom App Configuration
Create an admin-managed Zoom General App and configure OAuth credentials including Client ID, Client Secret, and callback settings.
Step 2: Permission and Scope Configuration
Grant required Zoom scopes including dashboard, cloud recording, and user permissions to enable access to meeting data.
Step 3: Authentication and Collector Setup
Enter credentials in Capture and authorize API access. Configure meeting file handling and retrieval settings.
Step 4: Scheduled Data Collection
Capture executes scheduled API collection runs to retrieve recorded meeting data without interacting with live meeting sessions.
Step 5: Normalization and Archive Delivery
Transform meeting metadata, recordings, transcripts, and chat content into standardized formats and deliver records to the archive.

Frequently Asked Questions

t-b-s
What Zoom Meetings content does the integration capture?
The integration captures meeting metadata, recording files, audio transcripts, and in-meeting chat content including messages, replies, and emojis. Capture scope is aligned to recorded meeting data and supported Zoom APIs.
Does the integration capture Zoom Meetings data in real time?
No. The integration uses scheduled API-based collection runs and retrieves meeting data after it is available through Zoom APIs. It does not intercept live meeting traffic.
How quickly is Zoom Meetings data available in the archive?
Meeting data is captured based on scheduled collection runs and recording availability. Once retrieved, records are normalized and delivered to the archive.
How is access to Zoom Meetings data secured?
Access is configured using a Zoom General App with OAuth authentication and required API scopes. Admin authorization ensures controlled access to meeting data.
How does this support compliance and audits?
The integration preserves meeting data as normalized archive-ready records, including recordings, transcripts, chat, and metadata. These records support supervision, retention, investigation, and audit workflows
How is the connector deployed?
The connector is configured by creating a Zoom General App, assigning required scopes, and authorizing access within Capture. Scheduled collection runs then retrieve and process meeting data.
How does this differ from native Zoom Meetings retention?
The integration retrieves Zoom meeting data through APIs, normalizes it, and delivers it to a centralized archive, enabling consistent governance and review across systems.
