Before you begin, know the difference

  • Record to the Cloud - PREFERED METHOD - The recording is stored on Zoom's cloud; it is sharable. 
  • Record to the Computer - The recording is stored on your computer; it is not sharable. 

Note

Only hosts and co-hosts can start a cloud recording. If you want a participant to start a recording, you can make them a co-host or use local recording. Recordings started by co-hosts will still appear in the host's recordings in the Zoom web portal.
