I have a paid account and a free account. In my most recent zoom interview, I marked it to be recorded but inadvertently used my free account instead of my paid account. Can I still retrieve this recording?

Hi DuffReiter,

 

Your free account can still record meetings however it will be local which means it will be saved to your device. 

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
