PLEASE ADD A TIMER TO THE SCREEN WHEN RECORDING ZOOM MEETINGS

Hi @JackBosma - we do have a "Timer" app that you can use on your meetings. It has the option to "show the timer to all" so it's visible on your cloud recordings. To use the timer app, the Zoom desktop client version should at least be at 5.14.10 or higher. 

 

    • From within a Zoom meeting, in the meeting controls/toolbar, click the "Apps" button. If you don't have the "Timer" app yet under the "My Apps" tab, go to the "Add Apps" tab and search for "Timer" and click on "get". Just follow the prompt to install it.
    • Once the app has been successfully installed, on your Zoom Meetings, just click on the "Apps" icon, and you should see the "Timer" under "My Apps"
    • Just click on it to launch, set your settings, and toggle the "Show timer to all" so the participants get to see the timer and so it's visible on the cloud recording. Click start when you're ready.

I hope this helps.
