Welcome to the Zoom Community, @cathy212! We're glad to have you here. You can ask the host for permission to record locally.
The host needs to allow recording before opening the breakout rooms. If the host has already opened the breakout rooms, they can join your breakout room to allow you to record.

First, the host must enable Local Recording in Zoom settings via the web portal.
During the meeting, the host needs to grant recording permission to specific participants by:
Note that participants must be using the Zoom desktop application to record locally, as this feature is not available when joining via browser or mobile devices.

Please clarify: "First, the host must enable Local Recording in Zoom settings via the web portal."
I have this enabled. I do NOT see anything around "Allow Record" for my participants.
This worked great last year without any special settings.

I am sad because co-hosts could automatically record in breakout rooms last year with no extra permissions or settings.
Can you please state exactly how to "enable Local Recording in Zoom settings via the web portal". I looked at everything I could find regarding this.
