How can we record our zoom meetings?

I’m new to using Zoom and still trying to understand its basic features. I’ve recently started attending online meetings and noticed that some people record sessions for later use. However, I’m not sure how this recording process works, who is allowed to record, and where the recordings are saved. Can someone explain in a simple way how to record meetings on Zoom and what steps I need to follow as a beginner?

Hello ​@Jimmyyt,

Welcome to the Zoom Community! We’re glad to have you here!
 

Here’s a simple overview of recording meetings on Zoom:

  • Only the meeting host can record by default, but the host can allow other participants to record.
  • To record, click the Record button during the meeting.
  • If you record locally, the video is saved on your computer (usually in your Documents folder).
  • If you have a paid (licensed) account and use cloud recording, the video is saved online in your Zoom account under the Recordings section.

Let us know if this helps or if you need further assistance.
