Facts about Zencastr last checked 2026-09-20.

The short answer

Zencastr records remote conversations with local capture on each participant's machine, so a guest's poor connection does not degrade the recording.

Convia does not record. Keep recording in Zencastr, whose AI suite also drafts show notes and social copy. What Convia adds is the campaign around that content and the publishing across platforms.

What Zencastr does well

  • Local per-participant capture. Protects audio quality from connection problems.
  • Separate tracks. One per speaker, which makes editing far easier.
  • Podcast-focused. Built for podcasting rather than a conferencing tool adapted to it.
