Can you record a meeting via QuickTime?

Apologies if this is redundant, but I can't seem ti find a definitive answer.

Does Zoom block people from recording meetings using QuickTime?

I was a participant in a meeting that I did not own/initiate. 

I tried to record a meeting via QuickTime on my Macbook Pro to reference later.

It started recording, then stopped at least once. I stopped paying attention.

Anything that I recorded was not saved, unlike other QuickTime recordings. 

When I do a "test meeting" with just myself and initiate it, I can record it, but that's just with myself.

Hello @Bill_B, 

This topic has been brought up before in the community. Here is one post that I have found related to Quicktime recordings. https://community.zoom.com/t5/Meetings/QuickTime-player-screen-recording-detectable-by-zoom/m-p/4186...

Please let me know if this is helpful for you. To my knowledge, you can use third-party apps to record in a meeting. I have used ScreenPal 3.0 before and it makes a high definition quality recording of my screen that I am sharing. This is what I use to send to customers when I am attempting to share with them how a function of Zoom should work. I hope that this helps.

Hello @YaBoiB,

Is this still valid that if i use a third party software such as Quicktime player or GameBox, the meeting owner would not know that some screen recording is being done by someone? Any chances through network monitoring or something?

Hello @cena, 

 Yes, from a Zoom perspective, this is still valid. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I cannot answer the networking monitoring question because I am not a network administrator, so I do not know what functions network monitoring has over one's machine.
