Developers seeking to incorporate meeting intelligence into applications can choose from several methods for integrating Zoom meeting data, each with its own advantages and limitations. The Zoom Cloud Recording API allows for post-meeting access to recordings and transcripts but is constrained by host-only access, manual recording initiation, and processing delays, making it less ideal for customer-facing apps. Custom meeting bots using Zoom's Linux SDK offer real-time audio and video capture, providing complete control but demanding significant infrastructure development and maintenance. Alternatively, the Nylas Notetaker API offers a streamlined solution by handling the complexities of deploying meeting bots across platforms like Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet, allowing developers to focus on core product features while ensuring access to production-ready transcripts and compliance with enterprise standards. The choice of method should align with the application's specific requirements, development timeline, and resource availability.
