Converting a local recording to a cloud recording

I need to send out a recording, but it recorded in the local recording instead of the cloud. How do you convert a local recording to a cloud recording?

Hi @MgravesLocal Recording saves your recording files on your computer. It is not possible to upload a local recording to the Zoom cloud. To store a video on Zoom's cloud, you must use cloud recording.

However, you can share your local recording with others by uploading it to a third-party cloud storage or content/learning management platform such as DropboxBoxGoogle DriveYouTube, or Vimeo.

Hello @KhatC.

 

I see this feature is in high demand so I wonder if there is active development on a solution. If not, it would be a good thing to know how I can suggest features and where I could do this.

Is it possible to get a transcription of a local recording since it cannot be moved to the cloud?
