      Hi ​@nino scarabotti,

       

      My apologies for the late response. We’re glad to have you here.

      After a Zoom meeting ends, Zoom should automatically convert the recording to an MP4 file (named video[number].mp4). If the conversion did not happen, you can try to manually convert the recording.

       

      On Linux (Ubuntu), you may need to use the Zoom desktop client to trigger the conversion, as Zoom's manual conversion tool is not available as a standalone utility for Linux. If you have the .zoom files, move them to the Zoom recording folder and open the Zoom client to trigger conversion.

      Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.
