How to Summarize Zoom or Teams Calls Without Leaving Your Network

Confidential meetings deserve a private summarization pipeline

The Problem with Cloud-Based Summarizers

Uploading your company’s Zoom or Teams recordings to a public AI tool might seem like a time-saver — but it can open the door to data leaks, regulatory violations, and lost trust. Whether you're dealing with client strategy, internal HR issues, or legal matters, those calls shouldn't leave your network.

On-Prem AI for Secure Summarization

Fortunately, it's now possible to run the entire summarization pipeline locally. With NovaLegal’s Meeting Summarizer, you can install a private version that never sends data to third parties.

Here’s how it works:

  • Step 1: Extract audio from your Zoom/Teams recording using ffmpeg
  • Step 2: Transcribe the audio with Whisper (on your own GPU)
  • Step 3: Parse the structured transcript into speaker segments
  • Step 4: Use your own secure AI backend to generate a natural-language summary, key discussion points, and action items

Why This Matters

When your summarization happens on-premises:

  • You stay compliant with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2
  • Your IT team retains full control over data, access, and retention
  • There’s no risk of model training on your sensitive information

Built for Teams That Take Privacy Seriously

Whether you're in legal, healthcare, finance, or a startup that values confidentiality, this solution brings you peace of mind and productivity in one package.

Try It or Host It Yourself

Final Thought

Summarizing meetings shouldn’t mean giving up control. If you’re serious about privacy, compliance, and efficiency — keep your data in-house and automate with confidence.
