Getting a copy of a recording if I was not the host

Hi everyone, 

 

I had a meeting recorded where i agreed and asked for a copy or transcript, I was not the host. I have asked a number of times for the promised record of the meeting but have been told that a copy can not be given as they destroyed the file. is there anyway to get a copy or transcript of the meeting as both parties agreed on the recording in the first instance?

    Hello,

     

    The meeting host or owner/admin from their account are the only ones that have the necessary permissions to access that recording/transcript (assuming cloud recording).  If local recordings only he host that recorded to their computer would have access. 

    You will have to get the recording from the host; Zoom cannot retrieve that recording for you.

    HI Dan, 

     

    I have a similar issue as the original poster (mrsd1). I consented to the recorded meeting with the understanding I would get a copy of the recordings. The host has refused to share the recordings. Is there any legal action that states I should have access to the content that includes information about me?  (For context, the host is my fitness coach who has recorded information about me and my health and I would like co-ownership of the recordings.)

    I was wondering the same questions. I allowed the recording and approved and then I wanted the recording I should be able to access it not having to wait to get a copy from the host. I should be able to access it freely or it should give me a copy on my own Zoom. if I do not get the recordings from the host on recordings I have approved then what am I able to do in order to get access?
