I get ONLY option as - record to Cloud. Can't see any Record to Computer option.

Why this option is NOT enabled? When my settings have the option selected - record to computer.

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @sshwe.

 

Are you on a desktop computer? There’s no local recording on phones and tablets. See this Zoom Support article for some additional info:

https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0076922

 

Are you on an account by yourself? If you’re in a Business, Enterprise, or Education account, your administrator might have disabled this feature.

 

Are you the Host of the Meeting? Attendees might not have permission from the Host to record locally. 


Ray -- Happy holidays, everyone! I’m taking a few days (mostly) off. See you in 2025!

Hi Ray, Thank you for your response!

Yes, mine is on Laptop & I am the Host.
I have a paid subscription & this feature was very much active till Cloud Space got full.
I cleared the space.

I was recording on the Laptop. But now this feature doesn't appear anymore.

How to activate it back?

Hi Ray, Thank you so much for your response!
Yes, I am using a Laptop.

And this feature was working since a very long time.

 

Recently my free memory on ZOOM got full.

But I created space.

From that time this feature is Not Available.

Earlier I was recording on the Laptop.


Now, I have NO CLUE how to get it back!
