What Is the Arctera Zoom Meetings via Archiving API Integration?

The Arctera Zoom Meetings via Archiving API capture integration uses Zoom’s Meeting and Webinar Archiving API with OAuth-based authentication to retrieve and standardize archived meeting and webinar data. It performs scheduled API-based collection, capturing recordings, chat content, polls, captions, and metadata, and transforms them into complete, archive-ready records for supervision, retention, and discovery.

Within the Arctera Unified Platform, these records preserve meeting context and activity, enabling compliance, legal, and IT teams to maintain consistent, defensible records without duplication or reliance on platform-native views.
