How to Automatically Run Storytell on all your Zoom Meetings:

“Zoom to Slack” Setup:

You can use Zapier to automatically push your Zoom recordings into Slack, where Storytell will automagically run Storytell reports on them.

Configure Zoom to share your recordings in a specific way:

Ideally, the Zoom Admin of your company can toggle these settings for all users so each user doesn’t have to do it individually:

1. Have the admin go to Zoom Admin >> Account >> Settings >> Recording

2. Change this Cloud recording download setting to “on”:

1. Change this Require users to authenticate before viewing cloud recordings setting to “off”

Your videos will still be secure because people won’t be able to access them unless they know the passcode. Our crawler is in a “logged out” state so cannot access the videos otherwise.

If you can’t have the admin globally change these settings, you can do it in your zoom account, like this:

1. Go to Zoom Personal >> Settings >> Recording

2. Update the same two settings above for your account.

You can also edit settings to share your past meeting recordings on a per-video basis.

Make two adjustments in the sharing options to make it work for Storytell:

1. Go to Zoom Personal >> Recordings

2. Configure Zoom to share your past recordings “publicly” (but still with a passcode), like this:

   1. Change Only authenticated users to Publicly .

   2. Enable the Views can download option, which would allow our crawler to download the data.

If you click the Share button next to each video you will be able to see the popup.

Your videos will still be secure because people won’t be able to access them unless they know the passcode. Our crawler is in a “logged out” state so cannot access the videos otherwise.

Set Zapier up to push your recordings into Slack:

Zapier is a platform that connects one service to another.

👉 Make a copy of this Zap to connect your Zoom account to your Storytell Slack channel

That’s it! Storytell will run automatically every time you share a Zoom recording, like this:

Using Storytell: Summarize Videos & Text with Storytell Slack Bot

Storytell will run automatically any time the following URLS are dropped into a Slack channel that includes Storytell:

• Zoom cloud recording URLs (include the passcode if it has one)

• YouTube URLs

• CloudApp URLs

Storytell will also run automatically in any Slack channel when:

• There’s a long Slack message (over 500 characters)

• There’s an attachment to a message (like a .txt file)
