Every time I set a webinar to record to the cloud a local recording is also made on my computer

hi ​@LiveOnlineEvent 

Yes, I have the same experience. So you are not alone. I am working through the settings to find what is happening.
Are you running webinars, webinar plus or Events.
Zoom Events have updated their menus and I am looking to see if this has changed the interpretation of some setting.

Please like and mark as the solution if this helps

All the best

It sounds like the local recording option might also be enabled in your Zoom settings. You may want to check under Settings → Recording in the Zoom web portal and make sure that Local Recording is disabled if you only want cloud recordings. Also, during the webinar, confirm that only Record to the Cloud is selected. This should prevent Zoom from creating a local copy on your computer.
