No option to allow participant to record

Hi, I've googled and googled and can't seem to figure this one out.

 

When I run a meeting with my Pro account, I click on the Participants list, then click More next to the participant's name, and it gives me a list of options but the "Allow to Record Local Files" option is missing. So I cannot give the participant permission to record.

 

When that same participant runs the meeting with their Free account, they CAN give me permission to record.

 

Is there a preference setting somewhere that will allow me to give participants the ability to record my meetings? Thanks in advance!

Hello,

 

I'm going to guess that your settings are not correct to allow this action.

Update: Both host and participant updated Zoom. Host had cloud recording selected and changed it to local recording. Now can give participant permission to record. Thank you, Frank_TB, for your response.
