Hello, community.

Recently, I just recording a meeting without log in to zoom. (approved by the host, and it was recorded locally in my zoom.us app). However, I cannot find the recording file in my local device (Macbook)? I have tried to look into my Finder, but could not find the video file. Can any one tell me want happened? Or, is it necessary to log in to record meetings? but, why does it allow me to click on the option to record if I am not logged in? Thank you.

@HW0303 - on a Mac, your recordings should have been recorded to "/Users/[Username]/Documents/Zoom".

I have the same problem today, Jan 12, 2025. My Mac powered down while downloading an important recorded video to my local computer. Now, I can't find the recording on the list of Zoom Recordings. It is gone. I this a common practice with Zoom? As a precausion, I thought maybe I recorded on my other account, but "no", my recording did not show on the list. Can you offer any help.

@LocateULR - Zoom doesn't delete the cloud recordings unless the "delete after specified days" is selected, and even then you should be able to go to the deleted files and find it. Without information on the specific recording, it would be impossible to know why you are not able to find it now.

Hello, community.

Please I need help on how to access the recording of a meeting that I just finished on my PC. I selected recording to be on local). Can anyone please guide on on how to get it. Thank you.

Hi @OLUX,

Thank you for joining the community. If you recorded locally on your PC, Zoom saves the files to a folder on your computer after the meeting finishes converting.

On Windows, check here:

Open File Explorer
Go to: C:\Users\Username\Documents\Zoom (replace Username with your Windows login name)
Open the folder that matches your meeting’s date/time—your recording files will be inside.

Dear Aluyun,

Thanks so much for your help. I followed every steps and guide but could not find the recording. It seem ZOOM is not user friendly like others such as Go to meeting etc. I have cancelled my subscription and will go back to Go to meeting which is straightforward and super easy to use.

Kind regards
