First time at editing

Hi there, rookie question, but how do I go about editing a recording of a Zoom call?

 

Thanks

You can trim some of the cloud recording off the beginning and end, but that does not truly edit the recording. If you or a viewer download the recording, you will be provided the untrimmed version of the recording. 

 

To truly edit a recording, you would need to download it and edit it with other software. Zoom offers no true editing features.

Hi @NeilH 

 

@Bort is right.

 

Please also keep in mind that if you do download the recording to edit it locally, you cannot then re-upload it back to Zoom.

 

Hope this also helps.
