Reviewed by the MyZone AI team. Zoom licenses, recordings and settings, handled without the admin console. ## At a glance - **You ask:** In plain words, in your Ai1 chat or Slack - **What it can do:** Only what your Zoom role allows; looking things up is open to everyone - **Before a change:** The current value, the new value and who is affected - **Approvals:** Changes wait for a go-ahead in chat, and Zoom Admin applies the approved ones - **Recordings:** Passcodes, link expiry and restricted downloads, or restored within 30 days of deletion - **What it never does:** Quietly raise anyone's permissions ## What the Zoom Admin does - **Manages users and licenses:** Zoom license management covers adding new people, upgrading or downgrading licenses, assigning extras such as Webinar, Phone or Large Meeting, and deactivating leavers after moving their recordings and meetings. - **Checks and changes security settings:** Reviews Zoom security settings such as waiting rooms, passcodes, screen sharing, recording consent and encryption, and shows the current value and who is affected before any change. - **Looks after cloud recordings:** Finds Zoom recordings, applies safe sharing such as passcodes, link expiry and restricted downloads, moves ownership and restores deleted files within the recovery window. - **Pulls usage and quality reports:** Shows who is active, how licenses are used and where meeting quality or audio problems came from. - **Handles the Zoom part of joining and leaving:** Provisions, licenses and transfers recordings as part of your wider onboarding and offboarding. ## How the Zoom Admin differs from the Zoom admin console The admin console spreads settings across account, group and user levels, and it is easy to change the wrong one. The Zoom Admin takes a plain request, checks your Zoom role and shows the current value, the new value and who is affected. Changes wait for a go-ahead in chat, and Zoom Admin applies the approved ones. Deletions need a typed confirmation, and it never quietly raises anyone's permissions. ## How it works 1. **Ask** (Whenever you need it): Say what you need in your own words, such as a seat for a new hire or a recording to share. 2. **Check permissions** (you approve) (Before any change): It checks that your Zoom role covers the request. Anyone can look settings and usage up. 3. **Preview** (you approve) (For every settings change): For a settings change it shows the current value, the new value and who will be affected. 4. **Confirm** (you approve) (Before anything irreversible): Changes wait for your go-ahead in chat. Deletions, transfers and account-wide locks need an explicit confirmation first. 5. **Apply and report** (Once you say go): Zoom Admin applies the approved change and tells you exactly what was done and how to undo it. ## When to use it - **A new hire starts next week:** It sends the invite with the right license and any extras they need, ready for their first day. - **A sensitive recording needs sharing safely:** It finds the recording and adds a passcode, sign-in requirement and expiry date before you send the link. - **Uninvited guests keep joining meetings:** It previews turning on waiting rooms for everyone, then applies and locks the setting after your go-ahead. - **Paid seats seem higher than the team needs:** It reports who is active and which licenses sit unused, so you can decide what to change at renewal. - **A meeting had poor audio:** It pulls the quality and usage reports needed to find the cause, with no console login required. ## What you get - Licensed users with the right extras assigned - Leavers offboarded with recordings and meetings transferred - Settings changes previewed, applied and reported with an undo path - Cloud recordings secured, moved or recovered - Usage, license and meeting quality reports ## Example: Zoom account review before renewal Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. Industry facts are real and cited with their sources. What it was asked: Before our Zoom renewal next month, check how many paid seats we really use, whether our meeting and recording security is right, and tidy up after two interpreters who left. Zoom Admin checked that the requester is a Zoom account admin, then read the user list, seat count, 90-day active-host report, settings at account, group and user level with their locks, cloud recordings and the recording trash. The review changed nothing; after a go-ahead in chat Zoom Admin applies each change, while lowering the plan's seat count stays with the client's purchasing lead. Meeting quality, sign-in logs, phone and room systems were not reviewed. Run date: 30 September 2026. ### What it found - 15 of the 40 paid Licensed seats are doing no work: 6 are unassigned, 2 belong to interpreters who left, and 7 to people with no sign-in or hosted meeting in 90 days. - The waiting room is on for the account but was never locked, so the interpreting team's group turned it off and its 14 members run client sessions without one. - 17 recordings of client sessions are shared by open link with downloads allowed and no expiry, and a deleted recording a client asked for can only be recovered for 4 more days. ### Sources - [Meetings APIs - API - Zoom Developer Docs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/meetings/), Zoom Developer Docs (accessed 2026-09-30) - [Users APIs - API - Zoom Developer Docs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/users/), Zoom Developer Docs (accessed 2026-09-30) - [Accounts APIs - API - Zoom Developer Docs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/accounts/), Zoom Developer Docs (accessed 2026-09-30) Zoom, Zoom Phone, Google and Google Workspace are trademarks of their owners.

If you lack the access, it says so and offers to pass the request to someone who has it. - Settings changes show the current value, the new value and who is affected before they are applied. - Deletions, account-wide changes and anything irreversible need an explicit typed confirmation. - It never quietly raises anyone's permissions. ## Frequently asked questions ### What does Zoom license management involve? Adding new people, upgrading or downgrading licenses, assigning extras such as Webinar, Phone or Large Meeting, and deactivating leavers after their recordings and meetings are moved. The Zoom Admin in Ai1 by MyZone AI also reports which licenses sit unused, so you can decide what to change at renewal. A deactivated user can be reactivated, but a fully deleted account cannot be recovered, which is why it confirms twice. It covers licensing and settings for Phone, Webinar and Rooms, but does not build new integrations or change your contract. ### Which Zoom security settings matter most for client meetings? Waiting rooms, passcodes, who can share their screen, recording consent and encryption. Settings live at account, group and user level, so a group can switch off what the account turned on unless the setting is locked. The Zoom Admin shows the current value and who is affected before any change. Changing other people's accounts or account-wide settings needs the right Zoom admin access, and it checks before acting. It never raises your permissions on its own. ### How do I share a Zoom recording safely? Add a passcode, require sign-in, set an expiry date and restrict downloads before the link goes out. The Zoom Admin finds the recording and sets those options. If a recording was deleted by mistake, it can restore it within the 30 days Zoom keeps deleted cloud recordings in the trash, and warns you when time is running short. ## About Ai1 Ai1 is the AI operations platform by MyZone AI, where each client runs on its own private server.
