    Hello, I have trimmed original recording to a short clip. Can I retrieve the original recording and also keep the trimmed recording in 2 separate recoding links to share with others?

    ZVA the Zoom AI agent said this when I pasted in your post:

     

    When you trim a Zoom cloud recording, the original untrimmed video is not deleted. The trimmed version is what viewers see by default, but the original recording remains stored in your account. You can revert the recording to its original, untrimmed state at any time.

    Here’s how to restore your original Zoom cloud recording:

    1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
    2. Go to Recordings and select the recording you trimmed.
    3. Click the playback thumbnail to open the recording.
    4. Click the Scissors (Trim) icon.
    5. Click Revert to Original to remove the trim and restore the full video.

    This will make the entire original recording visible again.
