Download time

Hi, this is the first time I’ve had a downloading issue with Zoom for my recordings.
 

I have a 9 minute long recording that still hasn’t downloaded after 30-40 minutes. Typically never have anything take this long. Is it something wrong with the file or am I just impatient. 
 

Thanks

Hi ​@Chris Hamill,

 

I do apologize for the late response. We’re glad to have you here!
 

If your Zoom recording is taking much longer than usual to download, it could be due to temporary network issues, high server load, or a large file size.

  • Check your internet connection speed and stability.
  • Try downloading at a different time.
  • Make sure no other large downloads are running on your network.
  • If you’re using a shared link, ensure the host has allowed downloads.

If the issue persists, try downloading from a different device or network to rule out local issues.

Please feel free to reach out it you need further assistance.
