In the source's own words
“administrators can choose to enable the Meeting transcript setting, but set the transcript retention duration to zero (0) days”
Administrative Controls (Zoom AI Companion whitepaper), Zoom, 2026, Zero Data Retention for Meeting Summary Transcripts.
Open the original- What it measures
- This is an admin option that applies with Zoom AI Companion meeting summaries. Users can still view the transcript in real time during the meeting, and the temporary data is discarded once the summary succeeds.
- What it does not show
- It is an option for administrators, not the default. The whitepaper does not give the default transcript retention period, and it applies to meeting summaries rather than every cloud recording.
