Integration Guide

Connect Zoom to MeetHQ.

Configure Zoom to automatically send meeting transcripts to MeetHQ for AI-powered analysis.

For Zoom Admins

Install MeetHQ on
your Zoom account.

MeetHQ installs as an admin-managed Zoom Marketplace app. Once installed, transcripts from any host in your Zoom account are routed to MeetHQ.

App Type

Zoom General App

Installed once by an account admin. Webhooks deliver transcripts to MeetHQ for any host in your account.

Scopes Requested

Read-only transcripts

We request the minimum scopes needed to fetch AI Companion and cloud-recording transcripts. Granted scopes are visible on your MeetHQ Integrations page after install.

Data Stored

Text only

We store text transcripts and metadata. We never store audio or video — Zoom retains the recordings under your existing retention policy.

01 — Installing

Install from the
Zoom Marketplace.

A Zoom account owner or admin must install the app. End-users do not need to authorise individually — they only need to link their Zoom email inside MeetHQ once installation is complete.

Steps
  1. 01 Sign in to marketplace.zoom.us as a Zoom account owner or admin.
  2. 02 Search for MeetHQ and click Add.
  3. 03 Review the requested scopes and click Authorise.
  4. 04 You'll be redirected to MeetHQ. If not signed in, you'll be asked to sign in or create a MeetHQ account first — your install will resume automatically.
  5. 05 Land on Integrations in MeetHQ. The "Org Zoom Integration" admin card confirms install.
02 — After Install

What end-users in your org need to do

Each user in your org signs up for MeetHQ and verifies their Zoom host email under Integrations. Once verified, transcripts from their Zoom meetings (with AI Companion or cloud recording enabled) are automatically routed to their MeetHQ account. See the end-user setup guide below for the user-side walkthrough.

03 — Removing the integration

Two ways to uninstall.

Both produce the same result: the OAuth grant is revoked on Zoom's side and the integration is soft-deleted in MeetHQ. New transcripts stop arriving. Existing transcripts and analyses are kept (they belong to individual MeetHQ users).

Method 1 — From MeetHQ

Inside MeetHQ

  1. Sign in to MeetHQ as the admin who installed.
  2. Go to Integrations.
  3. In the "Org Zoom Integration" card, click Uninstall integration.
Method 2 — From Zoom

Zoom Marketplace

  1. Sign in to marketplace.zoom.us.
  2. Click ManageAdded Apps.
  3. Find MeetHQ and click Remove.
04 — Data on removal

What happens to data

  • OAuth tokens: wiped immediately on uninstall.
  • Future webhooks: rejected by MeetHQ; Zoom stops sending them once the OAuth grant is revoked.
  • Existing transcripts and analyses: retained, owned by individual MeetHQ users. Users can delete their own data via account-deletion or by emailing support@meethq.io.
Admin Troubleshooting

Common admin issues.

Install link expired

If the OAuth code expires while signing in (Zoom codes are short-lived), reinstall from the Zoom Marketplace and complete sign-in faster.

Previous admin left the company

A new admin can take over by reinstalling from the Zoom Marketplace. The most recent installer becomes the MeetHQ-side admin.

Webhooks not arriving

Confirm AI Companion or cloud recording is enabled in Zoom settings. Check the admin card on /integrations to verify the integration is still active and tokens haven't expired without auto-refresh.

Couldn't revoke on Zoom

If the in-MeetHQ uninstall fails, use Method 2 above (Zoom Marketplace → Manage → Added Apps → Remove). Either path is equivalent.

If your org admin hasn't installed the MeetHQ Zoom app yet, this won't work — point them at the admin guide above.
Before You Start

Requirements

Make sure you meet these before setting up the integration.

Plan

Zoom Pro or higher

AI Companion and cloud recording are not available on Zoom's free plan.

Access

Admin or owner

You may need admin access to your Zoom account to enable AI Companion settings.

Account

MeetHQ account

Sign up free if you haven't already.

01 — Zoom Settings

Enable Zoom
AI Companion.

AI Companion automatically generates meeting transcripts and sends them to MeetHQ when your meeting ends. This is the primary transcript source.

Transcripts arrive within minutes of meeting end
Steps
  1. 01 Sign in to the Zoom web portal at zoom.us
  2. 02 Navigate to Settings in the left sidebar
  3. 03 Click the AI Companion tab at the top
  4. 04 Toggle "Meeting Summary with AI Companion" to ON
  5. 05 Enable "Automatically start Meeting Summary for meetings I host"

Tip: If you don't see the AI Companion tab, your Zoom account admin may need to enable it at the account level first.

Steps
  1. 01 In the Zoom web portal, go to Settings
  2. 02 Click the Recording tab
  3. 03 Toggle "Cloud recording" to ON
  4. 04 Under cloud recording settings, check "Audio transcript"
  5. 05 (Recommended) Enable "Automatic recording" and select "Record in the cloud"

Note: Cloud recording storage counts toward your Zoom plan's limits. AI Companion transcripts do not.

02 — Fallback · Optional

Enable cloud
recording.

Cloud recording serves as a backup transcript source. If AI Companion doesn't generate a transcript, MeetHQ will automatically use the cloud recording transcript instead.

Automatic fallback — no manual intervention needed
03 — MeetHQ

Link your
Zoom email.

MeetHQ matches incoming Zoom transcripts to your account using your Zoom host email address. Set this on the Integrations page.

Must match your Zoom sign-in email exactly
Steps
  1. 01 Log in to your MeetHQ account
  2. 02 Go to Integrations (from the menu in the top-right)
  3. 03 Find the "Zoom" section
  4. 04 Enter your Zoom host email — the email address you use to sign in to Zoom
  5. 05 Click "Save Zoom Settings"

If you use SSO to log in to Zoom, use the email shown on your zoom.us/profile page.

Steps
  1. 01 In MeetHQ, navigate to Calendar in the sidebar
  2. 02 Click "Connect Google Calendar" and authorize access
  3. 03 Your upcoming Zoom meetings will appear automatically

For best results, schedule Zoom meetings through Google Calendar using the Zoom for Google Workspace add-on.

04 — Calendar · Optional

Connect Google
Calendar.

When Google Calendar is connected, MeetHQ automatically matches incoming Zoom transcripts to the correct calendar event, pre-filling meeting titles and times.

Automatic transcript-to-event matching
After Setup

Here's what happens.

01

Host a meeting

Start or schedule a Zoom meeting as usual. AI Companion runs in the background automatically.

02

Transcript sent

When the meeting ends, Zoom sends the transcript to MeetHQ within minutes. No action needed.

03

AI analysis

MeetHQ analyzes the transcript with AI, extracting action items, decisions, and key takeaways.

Troubleshooting

Common issues

If transcripts aren't arriving, check these common causes.

Missing Transcripts

Meetings aren't appearing in MeetHQ

  • Verify your Zoom host email in MeetHQ matches exactly
  • Confirm AI Companion is enabled and set to auto-start
  • Ensure you are the host (not a participant)
  • Very short meetings may not generate transcripts
Settings

AI Companion tab not visible

  • Requires Zoom Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan
  • Your Zoom admin may need to enable it at the account level
  • Contact your IT department or Zoom admin
Quality

Poor transcript quality

  • Use a quality microphone and minimize background noise
  • Ask participants to identify themselves when speaking
  • AI Companion transcripts have better accuracy than cloud recording
Email Mismatch

Zoom email doesn't match

  • If you use SSO, check your email at zoom.us/profile
  • The email must match character-for-character
  • Update it on the Integrations page
