Step 2: Start or Join Your Zoom Meeting

I want to show you exactly how to use Jamie with your Zoom meetings. I know you might be worried about permissions, but here's the good news - you can use Jamie whether you're running the meeting yourself or just joining someone else's meeting.
Here's what you need to do:
- If you are the host, you simply start your Zoom call like you normally would
- If you are joining another meeting, you simply join like you normally would
💜 Gentle reminder

I need to be clear about this - you don't need to get special permissions from Zoom hosts within the Zoom meeting interface to start using Jamie. But you absolutely must follow our security and privacy protocol of Jamie to let everyone in the meeting know you're transcribing what's being said.
It's super important that you tell them it's only transcription because Jamie doesn't save any audio or video files. I also want you to know that all audio recordings get deleted right after transcription to keep everyone's information private.
Step 3: Start Recording with Jamie
I will now guide you through how to start the recording - it is very simple:

Once the meeting comes to and end you can go ahead and stop the meeting as shown above. This will them prompt Jamie to analyze the audio and generate your notes for you.
Once the transcription process is over, it will then delete the audio for added privacy.
Step 5: Speaker Identification
Next up is the speaker identification process.
Jamie will identify how many speakers where present during the meeting through its intelligent speaker diarization process. You will then listen to the parts of the clips to identify the speakers' voices and name them.
Jamie then learns the speakers' voices, so that you won't have to manually input their voices each and every time. You might have to input their names a maximum of 5 times (or less), for Jamie to properly learn and identify their voices automatically.
