Overview
When a host records a Zoom meeting, users can choose to “Record on this Computer” or
“Record to the Cloud”.
Note the following for the “Record on this Computer” option.
• Local recording is not supported on iOS and Android.
• After the meeting has ended, Zoom will convert the recording to your computer.
• Once the conversion process is complete, the folder containing the recording files will
open.
• By default, the recording files are stored in the Documents>Zoom folder.
• By default, the video file (MP4) will be named Zoom_0.mp4.
This guide covers how to find a Zoom recording in the cloud.
