What is how to record zoom meeting?

Recording Zoom Meetings

Zoom offers robust recording capabilities, allowing you to capture meetings for later review, sharing, or transcription. Here's a breakdown of how to record:

Types of Recordings:

• Local Recording: Saves the recording directly to your computer's hard drive. This is typically the default option. The file is saved as an MP4 video file.
• Cloud Recording: Saves the recording to Zoom's cloud storage. This is generally available for paid accounts and offers easier sharing and accessibility. You need a paid Zoom account to use this.

Who Can Record:

• By default, only the meeting host can record.
• The host can grant recording permission to other participants.

How to Start Recording:

1. As Host: When you are in the Zoom meeting, click the "Record" button in the meeting toolbar (usually at the bottom of the screen).
2. Choose Recording Type: You might be prompted to choose between recording on your computer (local recording) or to the cloud (cloud recording).
3. As Participant (if permission granted): If the host has given you permission, the "Record" button will also appear in your toolbar. Follow the same steps as the host.

Controls During Recording:

• Pause/Stop: The recording controls allow you to pause or stop the recording. When paused, you can resume recording later. When stopped, the recording is finalized.

After the Meeting:

• Local Recording: After the meeting ends, Zoom will process the recording (converting it to MP4). This may take some time depending on the length of the meeting. The file will then be saved to the specified folder on your computer.
• Cloud Recording: Cloud recordings are processed automatically and are available in your Zoom account's recording section. You will receive an email notification when the recording is ready. Cloud recording provides sharing options as well.

Important Considerations:

• Privacy and Consent: Always inform participants that you are recording the meeting. It's good practice to obtain their consent before starting the recording. Be aware of any legal requirements regarding recording meetings in your region.
• Storage: Local recordings can take up significant storage space on your computer. Cloud recordings are subject to your Zoom account's storage limits.
• Transcription: Zoom offers automated transcription services for cloud recordings, making it easier to search and review the content. Check Zoom transcription.
