I have the free 40-minute version of Zoom.

Does one need to set up specifically for recordings to be stored on one’s computer ? Where?

I tried a few meeting test runs and afterwards can’t locate them anywhere on my computer (I don’t want the cloud storage, just my own laptop).

Does anyone know how to store meeting recordings on one’s computer?

    Hello ​@Anna Kaz Chmielewski,

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


    On the free (Basic) Zoom plan, you can only record meetings locally to your computer—cloud recording is not available. You can check out this article for finding your recordings. 

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