Hi @adminWebnyay, this might help -- only hosts and co-hosts can start a cloud recording. If you want a participant to start a recording, you can make them a co-host or use local recording. Recordings started by co-hosts will only appear in the host's list of recordings in the Zoom web portal. Therefore, the Host would need to be a licensed user.

Can you clarify the above answer please, I have the same problem. I have a pro plan, the owner login ID can record to cloud. I have an account member who has a Basic License. I would like to use this member login as meeting Host to avoid use of the owner account (i.e. effectively an "Operator" account). It doesn't seem that I can enable cloud recording for the member to Host a meeting even though he is attached to the paid account. Can I only record to the cloud when using a paid login?
