Recording to your computer and to the cloud

Recording Recording your Zoom meetings is easy. To begin a recording... Click on the Record button in the toolbar on the bottom of the Zoom window. Select where the recording will be stored. Selecting Record on this Computer will store the video on your computer. These recordings are converted to MP4 files after the meeting closes and are stored in the Documents/Zoom folder.
