Record Zoom

Capture a Zoom tab directly, or the native Zoom app by sharing your screen's audio — both from the web app.

Capture Zoom calls with System audio + microphone in the web app, whether the meeting runs in a browser or the Zoom desktop app. The Chrome extension also lets you record a Zoom tab directly.

Zoom in the browser

If you join from the Zoom web client (the “join from your browser” link):

  • With the extension: from the Zoom tab, click the Banter extension icon and start recording — active tab plus your mic.
  • Without it: in your open note, click the mic button → System audio + microphone, then choose Entire screen and turn on Share system audio.

If system audio is unavailable, you can select the meeting tab with tab audio enabled in the same picker, or use the Chrome extension to record the tab directly.

Either way you get a two-channel recording: you on one side, the call on the other, with speaker labels in the transcript.

Tip: Zoom hides the “join from your browser” link until you dismiss the app prompt. It appears under “Having issues with Zoom Client?” on the join page.

The native Zoom app

The web app captures the Zoom desktop client too — share your screen’s audio instead of a tab’s:

  1. In your note, click the mic button → System audio + microphone.
  2. In the share picker, switch to the Entire screen tab, turn on Also share system audio, and share.
  3. Banter now hears everything your computer plays — the Zoom call included — while your own voice stays on its own mic channel, so who-said-what still works.

The share prompt warns that the site can see your screen; Banter keeps only the audio — nothing visual is recorded.

Two alternatives if you’d rather skip the share picker: the Banter desktop app captures system audio directly (early access — email [email protected]), or if you’re physically in the room with others, a plain Microphone recording works and still gets speaker labels — see In person and on the go.

After the call

Transcript, speaker labels, and a summary land in the note a few minutes after you stop — see Transcripts and speaker labels. If something didn’t capture, see Recording troubleshooting.
