Recently I was invited to be a guest on a podcast show, and the host provided his Calendly booking link so I could choose a convenient day and time for our recording session.
For the interview we connected through Zoom, and before we started the interview we talked briefly about using Zoom for recording podcasts, and the host mentioned that he has linked his Calendly account to his Zoom account so that when a guest books a recording session using his Calendly link, a new Zoom recording session is automatically created and the link to join that particular Zoom session is automatically included in the details fo the Calendly calendar invitation!
I thought this was very neat, and it’s really helpful to this host because he does like 12-15 interviews EVERY WEEK! And for him to book all those sessions manually and share all the links manually would be a lot of work.

Very interesting. I too use Calendly, although I promote it with the subdomain talk.AllanTepper.com and (in Castilian) with conversemos.AllanTepper.com. If the second URL is used, then the Calendly page comes up 100% in Castilian. However, I have never tested Zoom so far for this purpose, and don’t have an account. I use Cleanfeed Pro for my remote interviews and host guests. Have you been able to determine whether Zoom records 48 kHz when the host’s computer (and all of its audio devices) are set to 48 kHz, before connecting to Zoom? And how good does it sound? Cleanfeed and Cleanfeed Pro both match the 48 kHz set on the computer that initiates the call. I see that the both Zoom and Cleanfeed use the Opus códec, but that doesn’t mean that they both sound equally good. Even though Signal (the ultra-secure private messaging app also now uses the Opus códec), we know that it doesn’t sound anywhere close to Cleanfeed Pro.
Zoom sounds nowhere near as good as Cleanfeed, and with regards to sample rate I’m not sure how Zoom handles that because I don’t use Zoom for podcast recordings. Thanks Allan!
Zoom is a great Conferencing platform. I use it a lot for Conferences.
It’s not great for Podcasts. The only time I’d use it for podcast recording is if the guest can only talk via a telephone, in which case all attempts at quality are out the window.
I think you should use the right tools for the job. Using Zoom is like using a fork for soup.
