The Zoom Semantic Search Tool
Search your vectorized Zoom transcripts, recordings, and chat by meaning to surface the exact discussions, decisions, and insights from past meetings — grounding for any agent that reasons over your calls.
It was decided on a call — but which one, and what exactly?
Hours of Zoom recordings and transcripts pile up with no way to search what was said. The decision that resolves a debate is a sentence buried in a 60-minute call nobody wants to re-watch.
Recordings aren’t searchable
A wall of video files gives you no way to find the moment a topic came up.
Decisions get lost
What was agreed lives in someone’s memory, not in any searchable record.
Re-watching is expensive
Confirming what was said means scrubbing through an hour of recording.
Transcripts are sensitive
Meeting content is confidential — it can’t be sent to a hosted AI service.
Meaning-aware search over your meetings
Semantics
Search what was said
Find the moment by its meaning.
The tool embeds your query and matches it against vectorized Zoom transcripts, recordings, and chat, surfacing the exact discussion even when you don’t recall the meeting or the words used.
- Transcript, recording, and chat search
- Synonym- and paraphrase-tolerant
- Similarity score per hit
- Tunable top_k up to 50
Beyond timestamps
Recall
Decisions and insights, not videos
Answers, not hours of playback.
Scope the search to transcripts, recordings, chat, or all of them, and get back ranked passages so an agent can cite what was decided instead of asking anyone to re-watch a call.
No re-watching
Governance
Private and on-premise
Your meetings stay confidential.
Indexing and search run inside your perimeter, scoped per user with audit logging, so confidential meeting content is safe to make searchable by an agent.
Per-tenant, logged

Questions about the Zoom Semantic Search tool
What is the Zoom semantic search tool?
It searches your vectorized Zoom transcripts, recordings, and chat by meaning and returns ranked passages with similarity scores. Assigned to an agent, it surfaces decisions and discussions from past meetings without anyone re-watching a call.
Can I search only transcripts or only chat?
Yes. Set content_type to transcripts, recordings, chat, or all to scope the search to the source you want.
How many results can it return?
You control depth with top_k, up to 50 results, each carrying a similarity score so an agent can drop low-confidence hits.
Is our meeting content exposed?
No. Indexing and search run on-premise or in your sovereign cloud, scoped per user and audit-logged, so meeting content never leaves your perimeter.
How does it pair with other tools?
It is often assigned alongside federated vector search and Gmail or calendar search so an agent can connect what was said in a meeting to the surrounding mail and schedule.
