How do I retrieve a recording??

Hello,

Was the recording set up for cloud or local recording?

Regards

It was set up to save to my computer. Host instructed me to record it that way. 

Hello,

Here is the default location where Zoom saves local recordings. Unless you changed it of course.

By default, local recordings will be placed in following directory:

• Windows: C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Zoom
• Mac: /Users/[Username]/Documents/Zoom
• Linux: home/[Username]/Documents/Zoom

Regards

I have a MAC and copy/pasted the appropriate link. I get "your file couldn't be accessed"  😕😕

Hi,

[Username] is just a place holder for whatever your user account is called on your computer.

Regards

The first question, perhaps, is...I was actively clicking on "end recording" when the host ended the meeting. So is it even possible that it was saved? Once the meeting was ended, my whole screen disappeared. I'm assuming that when you end the recording, there's a cascade of prompts that asks if you want to save it and what you want to label the file as, etc. I was not allowed to do any of that. 

My apologies, I don't understand your comment here: "[Username] is just a place holder for whatever your user account is called on your computer." Could you please clarify?

1. It's a good question. I don't know if your recording survived.  But, if you didn't change default location that is where you should  potentially find the recording.

Good luck!

unfortunately i don't know where the default location is or how to find it. the link you provided, unfortunately did not work 😕😕
