Edit the audio transcript and recording highlights

        Note: If the recording doesn't contain any highlights, click Add Highlights below the player to get started.

Save highlights to a new video clip

2. Enter a name for the recording.

3. (Optional) Select the Add to Zoom Clips check box to also add the recording to Zoom Clips.

   The new video clip will process and be available as a separate recording file under the original recording. It will be indicated with Highlights in the top-right corner of the video thumbnail.
