Hi all,

I have made a recording which is saved to the local recordings. I now need to download this and can't seem to do that. It downloads in .zoom extension which I can't convert into anything and therefore can't view the audio-video recoding back. Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance

Go to "Meetings" > "Recorded" to convert the .zoom file to MP4 by using Zoom app.

To convert and download your Zoom recording, you can follow these steps:

  1. Locate the Recording: Find the .zoom recording file on your computer.

  2. Convert the File:

    • Rename the file extension from .zoom to .mp4 (if it's a video recording) or .m4a (if it's audio only).
    • Alternatively, use a file conversion tool or software like HandBrake or VLC Media Player to convert the .zoom file to a more accessible format.
  3. Download and View: Once converted, you should be able to open and view your recording with standard media players.

Hope this helps!
