ZOOM Default DOwnload Naming Convention

[stphinkle]

How does Zoom name files beginning with GMT?  Do the digits after meaning anything?  It is weird that it uses so generic file names which makes them to identify 

FOR EXAMPLE

G M T  |  A B C D E F G H - I J K L M N _ Recording 

DO THE Numbers A - N represent anything such as timestamps, recording IDs, or anything useful or is it Random?   I have a bunch of downloaded meetings in a folder and trying to identify which is which.

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @stphinkle.

The sequence starts with GMT because what follows is a date and time based on Greenwich Mean Time time zone (also referred to as UTC). The remaining characters are the time elements:

   YYYY MM DD - HH MM SS

followed by the “_Recording” text, followed by the designation of file contents. See this thread for a discussion of the file content names:

Hi Ray,

I'm following up your answer with a new question -- I hope that's ok. I had to download all my Zoom videos in a hurry due to storage limitations. All the titles were stripped and I'm left with only the Zoom naming convention for each one. Is there any way to find out the contents of these videos (such as the old title, participant names, etc.) without having to open/watch each video? Thanks so much.
