FAQ


Why are my Zoom calls not recording?

Having trouble with calls being recorded? Below are some common situations that prevent Scratchpad from recording:

  1. The host of the meeting was not present, or you were not the host

  2. The host's local recording setting is disabled

  3. The host has disabled permitting participants to record locally

  4. The host has disabled requesting recording permission within the current call

  5. Host is using the web client instead of the Zoom desktop app

Does Call Recording work with other meeting platforms, like Google Meet or Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Scratchpad's Call Recorder will auto-join meetings from Google Calendar, regardless of the meeting platform type. The only meeting platform not supported at the moment is Webex.
