    Hello ​@Anna Le Grie 

    You can find information on starting a local recording here: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0076922

    If local recording is not available to you in your meeting, then you will need to enable the feature within your settings on the Web which you can find here: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063640

    I hope this helps and if this answers your question please make sure to mark this as a solution.

     

    Thank you,
