trim cloud recording

If you’re the account owner and host but still don’t see the scissors icon, I’d first make sure you’re opening the recording from the Zoom web portal on a desktop browser, not the mobile app. Zoom’s current instructions say trimming cloud recordings isn’t supported on mobile browsers.

Go to Recordings & Transcripts → Cloud recordings → open the meeting → click the recording thumbnail. Once the recording has finished processing, the scissors icon should appear in the video player. If it’s still processing, give it time before trying to edit.

Also check that you’re working with an actual cloud recording, since the trim feature applies to cloud recordings. If the recording is stuck in a trimming/processing state, reload the page and try again. Zoom also notes that a trim can take a while to process, especially for longer recordings.

One more thing: trimming changes the playback version for viewers, but Zoom allows you to restore the original recording afterward if needed.

If all of those conditions are met and the scissors icon is still completely missing, I’d check the account’s Recording & Transcript settings or contact Zoom Support, because that points more toward an account/recording-specific issue than a simple permissions problem.

Thanks, will try  from desktop browser. 

Not sure if Zoom has discontinued it but I'd previously seen the scissors icon on my mobile browser.
