Corrupted recording

Hello, yesterday I made a Zoom call and recorded it.
However, the recording conversion did not complete correctly and became corrupted.
How can I recover this recording, considering that the files double_click_to_convert_01 and double_click_to_convert_02 are missing?

Thank you!

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @rouxp! If your Zoom recording conversion failed and the files double_click_to_convert_01 and double_click_to_convert_02 are missing, recovery is unfortunately very limited. Here’s what you can try:

1. Check the original recording folder for any .zoom files. These are the raw, unconverted files.
2. If .zoom files are present:

  • Open the Zoom desktop app.
  • Go to Meetings > Recorded.
  • Find the meeting and click Convert.
  • If the meeting does not appear, move the .zoom files to a new folder and try again.

3. If the .zoom files and the double_click_to_convert files are missing, there is no way to recover the recording using Zoom’s tools.

4. If you have a backup of your computer from before the failed conversion, try restoring the missing files from your backup.

If these steps do not help, the recording cannot be recovered. For future recordings, make sure the conversion process is not interrupted and your Zoom client is up to date.
