Request to Transition Recording Storage from Zoom Cloud to Vimeo Only

[gtextholdings]

Dear Zoom Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I’m writing to formally request guidance on the possibility of changing our default meeting recording location from Zoom Cloud to Vimeo exclusively. As our team already uses Vimeo as our primary platform for video storage, distribution, and post‑production, we would like to bypass Zoom’s cloud storage entirely and have all recordings saved directly to our Vimeo account.

Our goals are:

1. To discontinue the use of Zoom Cloud for recording storage.

2. To have all meeting recordings stored solely on Vimeo moving forward.

3. To understand if it is technically possible to set Vimeo as the direct destination for recordings—without first saving them on Zoom Cloud.

If this setup is not currently supported, we would appreciate any available alternatives—such as immediate post-processing transfer to Vimeo followed by automated deletion from Zoom Cloud—as well as any recommendations or workarounds your team may suggest.

Additionally, if there is a beta program or upcoming feature that would allow direct-to-third-party recording storage, we would be interested in being part of that.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. We look forward to your response and hope to streamline our recording process with your support.

Warm regards,
Stephen Akintayo
Founder, SA Foundation

One possibility is for the host to use a powerful enough computer to record locally then upload to Vimeo.

Another solution would be to stream Zoom to Vimeo and set Vimeo to record and store it.

A more complex and versatile possibility would be to use OBS Studio to capture and record locally or stream to Vimeo.

All of these assume that a direct simple recording is adequate and that there is no need for separate audio tracks or any of the special features only afforded by Zoom Cloud recording.

hi @gtextholdings ,

Zoom is developing its own CRM, content storage for recordings. But it is possible for third parties to create software to download the recordings and put them elsewhere. I have seen many devlopers working on storing recordings and trnascripts. So I would look there for solutions.
all the best
