Recording in 720p

Hi guys, how do i get the 720p resolution in recordings ?  ive set HD in video settings. Checked the enable compatibility format for post editing. However i still not able to achive the 720p resolution. I just get the standard low resolution. I record it to my computer.

 

I need to highlight that if i randomly start a meeting and record, i achieve the 720p. This in a free account. But when i record in a paid account, i am not able to achieve 720p, except once. In that recording there was only one other participant. 

I tried changing hosts and had it record from another computer, still no luck.  Any ideas ?

Hey @redhatcode29 , check out the thread Problem Video Recording Meetings with 1080P Webcam. This should clarify a bit more on recording resolutions!

Hey @redhatcode29 this also may be the content shared in the recording as well, to further breakdown the recording resolutions: 

 

640p x 360p is recorded for a meeting with two or more participants the resolution will be 640p x 360p if only video is being shared and HD is not enabled.

 

1280 x 720p 

  • If you are the only participant in the meeting, the recording. 
  • For a one on one meeting, the recording will be 1280p x 720p if only video is shared and HD video is in use. The one who is not recording) needs to view the video in full screen.
  • For a meeting of three or more participants, the local recording will be 1280p x 720p if Group HD is enabled for the host's account and any participant views the meeting in full screen.

You can re-test this to ensure you're getting the resolution expected above in these case scenerios☝️

 

If all else fails, you may need to reach out to Zoom Support for 720p to be enabled and/or further analyzed as suggested in our KB on Group HD.

What's the best way to "reach out" to Zoom Support?  I've been trying to reach them to get them to enable 720P.  I just sent a ticket after a ton of time trying to wade through the various online documents and Support sections trying to find how to contact them directly.
