Zoom Video Too Large - Can I change size after recording?

I created a 26-minute training video where I share my screen.   The file size is too large for where I need to store the video.  Is there a way to make the file size smaller after I have recorded it?

Hi @thekatsanford, thank you for posting for the first time! Welcome to the Zoom Community!

 

You could use video editing software to cut portions, reduce the resolution, or use a different video Codec, but once it's finalized in Zoom there's no editing or reducing file size from within Zoom. 

 

I hope this helps!

Have you heard of Zoom AI Companion?

Is there a software or any tool that can compress the size of the video that Zoom recommends?
