Zoom Recording Storage

Is there a way to store a Zoom recording on a flash drive? I have such limited storage on my crappy laptop. Everything I see says that I should be able to choose a storage place in settings, but I don't see that option when I go to storage. I also can't use the Cloud because my admin has it blocked.

Hello @lizkearney1,

I'm sorry, Zoom does not automatically save recordings to external drives. Recordings are first saved to your local drive, and you'll need to manually transfer them to an external drive after the recording is complete.
