Adding Zoom recordings to LaVoix

Last updated: 2026-05-27

LaVoix supports Zoom meeting recordings. The flow is two steps: download the MP4 from your Zoom account, then upload it to LaVoix using the existing video-upload surface. Once uploaded, the recording is transcribed and indexed exactly like a YouTube video — searchable, askable, citation-linked.

We don't require any Zoom account integration for this. If you can see your recording in Zoom, you can add it to LaVoix.

Step 1 — Download from Zoom

Sign in at zoom.us and open Recordings & Transcripts from the left sidebar (or visit zoom.us/recording directly).
Find the meeting you want to add. Click the meeting title to expand its file list.
You'll see several files for each recording. Download the one labelled “Shared screen with speaker view” (or just “Speaker view” for audio-only meetings) — that's the MP4 video file. Skip the M4A (audio-only) and TXT (chat log) files; LaVoix wants the video.

Password-protected recordings: if your recording is password-protected and you're the owner, the download from zoom.us/recording works without re-entering the password. If you're downloading from a shared link someone sent you, enter the password on the Zoom share page first, then click the download button on the video.

Step 2 — Upload to LaVoix

Open a project in LaVoix (or create a new one).
Click + Add videos in the project header.
Switch to the Upload tab (next to the YouTube URL tab).
Drag the Zoom MP4 onto the dropzone, or click to pick it from your file browser. The upload starts automatically and finalizes in a few seconds.
The video appears in your project's Sources rail and starts transcribing in the background — usually ready within 1-3 minutes for a typical 30-60 minute meeting.

What works after upload

Full-text transcript search (⌘F inside the project).
Cross-meeting Q&A — add several meetings to one project and ask questions across all of them at once. Every answer cites back to the exact moment in the source recording.
In-browser video playback with click-to-seek from any citation timestamp.
AI-generated meeting overview and outline (auto- generated the first time you open a recording).

Limits + caveats

File size: up to 500 MB per upload. A 60-minute Zoom recording at standard quality is typically 100-200 MB, so most meetings fit comfortably. For unusually long recordings (3+ hours), use Zoom's download- quality settings to pick a smaller file.

Supported formats: MP4 (what Zoom exports by default), plus WebM, MOV, and M4V if you've transcoded the file elsewhere.

Zoom transcripts: if your Zoom plan auto-generates transcripts, LaVoix doesn't use them directly in Phase 1 — we re-transcribe via Whisper for consistency with our chunking + citation pipeline. Our automatic transcript is typically as accurate as Zoom's and includes word-level timestamps for precise citation deep-links.

Speaker names: we don't currently identify individual speakers in the transcript (everything is rendered as one continuous text stream). Speaker-attribution support is on the roadmap.

Coming later — direct Zoom integration

We're evaluating a one-click Zoom connection so you won't need to download + upload manually — sign in once via OAuth, then add recordings directly from your Zoom cloud library. We'll ship this when we see enough demand to justify the engineering work and Zoom Marketplace review. If you'd find this useful, drop us a note via the in-app feedback button — that's the signal we're looking for.
