      Hi @hah82 unless you were NOT the host, and the initial host was a pro user or higher and were given permissions to record, the host will have the recording and will then need to share the recording with you.

      👋 Hi @seva, free/basic users have the option to local record, however, without a pro plan type you will not have the option to record to cloud. You can purchase a pro plan at zoom.us/pricing 🙂

            Same here.  I have a free account.  Just recorded to the cloud (because it gave me the option), Zoom didn't tell me that it would not save and now I cannot find the recording.

            Was anyone able to upgrade to Pro and retrieve the recording?

              Hi @sarahelhamsmith were you previously a pro licensed user with cloud recordings? If you were, and are NOW you're not licensed; if you were to "re-upgrade" to a pro license type, you will be able to access all previous cloud recordings again.

              So, it's blackmail? Pay up or lose your recordings?

                Based on this thread, I can confirm I was given the option to record the the Cloud on a Free Basic account, was given no warning, and do not have any recordings to show for it.

                Hello, 

                This exact scenario just happened to me - The original host has a Pro account, I have a basic account.  I was promoted to Co-host and I DID get the option to record to the cloud, which I selected.  Now the recording is not in my account and the original host is saying it's not in hers either.  Any advice?

                Thanks
