Hello - I need to cut 00:12:36-00:13:00 from a recording that is 01:36:57. I cannot figure out how to do it. I selected the scissor icon and when the blue bar appeared I selected these time codes thinking this portion would get trimmed. Instead, the system saved on this portion. I restored the original recording but I cannot figure this out. Please advise. TIA!

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @DBR.

I'm sure you've already read this Zoom Support article:

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115003001383-Trimming-cloud-recordings

It might not be clear that the term "Trim" in this case only refers to the ability to remove portions from the beginning and the end of a recording. Removing a portion in the middle is really "editing", and not part of the Trimming operation.

The bars you manipulated are only intended to indicate where you want the trimmed video to start and end.

It's possible to download the file(s) and edit them in a variety of video editing software applications, then upload the edited file to YouTube, Vimeo, etc.

Thanks Ray, I read that Support article, and definitely did not understand that 'trim' is only beginning and end (even those it only has instructions for beginning and end), because in the first para it says you can "remove unneeded portions" which is exactly what I wanted to do (its just that my unneeded portions are in the middle!)
