How to move a local recording to the Zoom cloud.

[JimH]

I mistakenly recorded a Zoom meeting to my local computer, an Apple Mac.  How can I move this recording to the Zoom Cloud with my other Zoom recordings?

I have the same problem, I recorded to my computer but I need it to be in the cloud so that I can share it with the others on the call.  Is this possible?

Hi @JimH and @MarcyHarris! It is not currently possible to move a local recording to the Zoom cloud. However, as a workaround, you could playback the local recording in a new meeting and record that meeting to the cloud. Yet, you might be compromising video quality and resolution with this workaround. Hope this helps!

Has Zoom been able to make this a possibility yet?

hi Bri 3 years on I'm wondering if this issue is now resolved? I too have saved a recording to my laptop and want it to be on the Zoom Cloud space. Thanks.

I did the same thing, saved to my laptop by accident. Has zoom come up with a way for us to transfer recordings onto the cloud?

Hi @JoyfulWarrior, 

At the moment, it is not possible to upload a local recording to the Zoom cloud. 

However, you can share your local recording with others by uploading it to a third-party cloud storage or content/learning management platform such as Dropbox or Google Drive. 

@Bri's workaround is also a great option!

If this is not yet possible then this has NOT been "solved". Whatever the process is to get this implemented I hope this is in it. I am trying to do this for one of our users as well, so your users need the functionality. Marking this "solved" is misleading.

A user in my org recently recorded a meeting locally that meant to record to cloud. We'll try the workaround @Bri suggested which should do the trick, but would be great if a full-scale solution to this could be implemented as I'm sure it will come up again.

I'm wondering how the workaround went for this. One year from your post - maybe there is an easier solution now?

[JoyfulWarrior]

I dont think there is a work around or easy solution. For me, to record the recording is not worth the issues with poor quality and sound. Of course it depends on what you are using zoom for. I use it for teaching yoga and fitness.

It's been over 3 years now. Please make this possible.
