Can't open a Zoom file and can't convert it -- it says to give access in System Preferences on my Mac, but Zoom already has full access. What should I do?

    Yes, same problem when I just tried to record a one-minute meeting with a friend. A year ago, there was no problem.


    Ok since initial troubleshooting was done and still having same issue I would suggest that you log a problem with Zoom Support at
    https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/requests/new

    Not sure if this helps. I did the following on my mac and it converts the video to mp4.

    1. Locate Transcode.app by going to Finder, 'Go', 'Go to Folder' and type in /Applications/zoom.us.app/Contents/Frameworks/.

    2. Copy Transcode.app to /Applications folder (make a copy by dragging holding 'option' key.

    3. Add Transcode.app to allow full disk access on 'Security & Privacy'.

     

    Once this is added, videos on local recording will be converted to mp4.
