Zoom support says there is no way to bulk download. The pointed me a a gdrive integration but that would only be for new reocordings.

I've got about 4000 recordings on the system.. no way to get them without spending a week pulling them one by one it seems? bulk deleting works, but not downloading.

this feels like Zoom is trying to lock us in by limiting usability. finding they limit this has really got me reevaluating using them going forward.

i have seen some people publish workarounds but they are all for getting specific files .. anyone have any tricks for dumping 4k files and 4tb of data out of zoom recordings?

Yeah, Zoom doesn’t really have a bulk-download option for old cloud recordings. Support is right about the web UI.

The old script workaround mostly relied on Zoom JWT apps, which Zoom retired. Today, the practical route is using the API to download the files.

That’s doable, but at ~4,000 recordings / 4 TB, it is not a quick script.

I built Fetch by Teleport for this exact problem: it lists Zoom cloud recordings and downloads them in bulk. Searching “Fetch by Teleport” should find it.

Once everything is downloaded and verified locally, Zoom’s bulk delete can clear the cloud storage.
