Desktop app or web?

Most people run the Zoom desktop app → send a bot (the extension can't see the desktop app). Only when everyone is on Zoom in the browser can you use the extension instead.

📷 To capture: Start ScribX with a Zoom link pasted (target: /img/handbook/recording/zoom.png).

Sending a bot works whether participants are on the Zoom desktop app or Zoom web. Paste the Zoom link into Start ScribX in the web app.

In-call with the extension (Zoom web only)​

If you joined via Zoom in your browser (web client), the extension can capture the tab from the content panel. On the Zoom desktop app the extension can't see the call — send a bot instead.

Admit the bot​

If Waiting Room is enabled, the host opens Participants and clicks Admit next to ScribX. Full steps: Admit the bot.

Troubleshooting​

  • Bot stuck on "Joining" — if Waiting Room is on, the host must admit it from the Participants panel.
  • No ScribX panel on Zoom — the extension only works on Zoom web. On the desktop app, send a bot instead.
  • Bot won't join — make sure you pasted the full zoom.us/j/… link (including any passcode in the URL).

Notes​

  • Enterprise teams can also use the Zoom App integration — see Integrations.
