Hi,
Having followed countless "guides" to get Zoom to cloud record in HD I still end up in 360 vertical resolution. I have a paid account, my client is set to HD and my user settings are set to record in HD (Meeting-HD Video Quality in settings). I have a good strong internet connection and have tested on mac and PCs with different, but always strong, internet connections. I have the latest client.
There are guides that add the most weird "requirements" and so also, I always use the client in full screen and in speaker view. I have the lowest number of people visible in the gallery. I have recording set to start as default and I always have original sound switched to on.
What else? Well I join the meeting 10 minutes or more before anyone else and so I can't for the life of me see how their settings willl affect my recordings. I've even tried test recordings with no one else present. Nothing changes from 360p.
Once a week we use Zoom to broadcast a Church Service. People who are housebound join in. Only a handful. Then I take the recording and share it on Youtube. But the quality of the recording is so low resolution! I am seriously thinking about switching to Youtube Live. The only problem is that some of the viewers are in their eighties and needed a huge amount of coaching to get to use Zoom. I really don't want to subject them to more change.
Surely it can't be that difficult, can it?
Thanks
J

Hi. I spoke to Zoom support and after the usual try this and that - which I’d already done. I was transferred to some back end support who said they needed to affect a change to make HD recording work. Would I like them to do it? Why yes!
post change I record in 720p as standard.
it seems this cannot be done by the user. You need to ask customer support to enact it for you.
