Zoom is possibly the world’s most popular video conferencing platform, and its popularity has continued to grow due to COVID-19 when most teams have adopted a work-from-home strategy.
According to the latest statistics, Zoom has an average of 300 million daily active users. Maybe you are one of them and need to attend numerous Zoom calls every week, be it team meetings, online classes, or remote training.
I bet you are overwhelmed by so many Zoom meetings and may even get ‘Zoom fatigue’. Fortunately, now you can automatically join Zoom meetings by simply sending an assistant to represent you. Get impressed? Let’s take a closer look.
Why do we want to auto-join Zoom meetings?
On the one hand, Zoom enables users in different locations to connect in real time and share thoughts, making remote or hybrid work more efficient. On the other hand, too many meetings overburden people, and sometimes you may forget to attend the sessions.
What if there is an assistant that can automatically attend the meeting at the specified time and record it so you won’t miss any important information?
Airgram is here to help.
Its AI assistant will act on a schedule once you set up the Zoom auto-join preconditions. It will enter the meeting room promptly and contribute to meeting recording and live transcription.

Step 2: Find Zoom and click Connect to authorize Airgram to connect to your Zoom account first.
Step 3: After you've granted the Zoom permission successfully, go back to settings. Choose Auto-join Meetings > Auto-join Zoom meetings. From the dropdown list, select Join all Zoom meetings I host.
Step 4: Now, you're all set. Airgram's AI assistant, a.k.a. Airgram assistant, will automatically join all Zoom meetings you host whenever you have an instant Zoom call or a scheduled one. It'll record and transcribe the call into the language you set by default.
