I noticed that the last meeting we had was half the time as usual (one hour, compared to 2-3 usual) but the shared screen file is almost 8 times as large (!!) as usual. Is that because we did some screen sharing? I can't figure out if we did anything else different. Thanks everyone!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi lizzieb,
The file size of a recording depends on many factors, including number of people on camera, what was being shared, and type of content being shared. So if you did some screen sharing, this will explain why the file size is larger.
Hope this helps!

I had only me on a zoom - for 8 minutes. Silent transmission. I made it to email to family and share online with a couple of friends on Discord. The file is is 139.2 MB

what is the way by which we can reduce it, e,g . file size is 84 MB how can we make it less than 20 MB so that we will able to share the participant
