Zoom Webinars and Dailies both turn a recording into clips with AI. The recordings are not of the same kind. Zoom Webinars and Zoom Events are Zoom’s products for webinars and for virtual or hybrid events: sessions held in Zoom for an audience, with registration, production tools and an on-demand library. Dailies is no webinar platform. It is a Chrome extension that records the one-to-one calls already in your calendar, on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom, and delivers up to eight captioned vertical shorts a few minutes after each call.
Checked against Zoom Webinars’s own site on October 1, 2026.
Dailies
For people whose content is said in client calls on Meet, Teams or Zoom, and who want vertical shorts from them without staging an event.
Zoom Webinars
For organisations already on Zoom that run webinars or multi-session events and want registration, production and an on-demand library in the same account.

Zoom Webinars and Zoom Events are Zoom’s products for webinars and for virtual or hybrid events, apart from Zoom Meetings. The sessions are held in Zoom and recorded there; a Simulive mode runs a pre-recorded webinar as live. Zoom’s pages describe a Production Studio with custom layouts, scenes and branding, a backstage, custom backgrounds, and live streaming to YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook. They also describe recording isolated audio and video from each participant, to import into Premiere, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Recordings go to on-demand video hubs and get AI-generated smart chapters and highlights. Zoom says its AI turns hour-long recordings into shareable clips of the best moments, for social media, emails or sales follow-ups, and generates blog posts, email copy and social media posts from them. Attendees get AI captions in more than 20 languages. We read Zoom’s product pages, not its support documentation: they do not say in which format the clips come.
Zoom’s AI clips are described for the recordings of Zoom webinars and events: sessions you schedule, produce and open to attendees. A call with one client is another kind of conversation, and when it takes place on Google Meet or Microsoft Teams it is not a Zoom recording at all. Dailies is built for that call. It records it in Chrome, on Meet, Teams or Zoom’s web client, with no bot joining.
Zoom’s pages say its AI turns recordings into shareable clips of the best moments. They do not say whether those clips are vertical, captioned or reframed on whoever speaks, and we did not read its support documentation. What Dailies delivers is known: vertical 9:16 shorts, reframed on whoever speaks, with animated captions burned in, in one of fifteen styles, and silences, filler words and false starts removed.
Zoom describes recording isolated audio and video from each participant, made to be imported into Premiere, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve: material for whoever edits the event. Dailies also records your webcam on a track of its own, for another purpose: so that a short shows you full screen when you speak, and your guest’s tile cropped on their face when they do, without anyone opening an editor.
Registration, a Production Studio with layouts and scenes, a backstage, live streaming to YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook, pre-recorded webinars run as live, on-demand video hubs, and blog posts and emails generated from recordings. Dailies does none of that: it hosts no event, writes no summary and posts nothing for you. You download each short in Full HD.
Yes, according to Zoom’s product pages: its AI turns hour-long recordings into shareable clips of the best moments, for social media, emails or sales follow-ups. Those pages do not say whether the clips are vertical, captioned or reframed on the speaker, and we did not read Zoom’s support documentation about them.
Zoom’s page describes recording isolated audio and video from each participant, to import into Premiere, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve. It does not say on which plan. Dailies records your webcam and your microphone apart from the call’s picture, and uses them to reframe each short on whoever speaks.
No. Dailies is no webinar platform: no registration, no room, no audience. It makes shorts from one-to-one calls on Meet, Teams or Zoom. If you run webinars, a webinar platform is the right kind of tool; if your best advice is given in client calls, that is where Dailies works.
Yes, when you hold them in Chrome. Dailies is a Chrome extension: it records the calls you hold in Zoom’s web client, as on Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. It captures the call tab, your microphone and your webcam. No bot joins the call.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
