Starting a Recording

The host must record the meeting or grant a participant the ability to record.

Start a Zoom meeting as the host.
Click the option to Record.
If there is a menu prompt, select Record on this Computer or Record to the Cloud.
Hosts will see the following recording indicator in the top left corner when the recording has started.

Participants will see the following indicator in the top left corner when the recording has been started by another user.

Note: If the above recording icons are not visible in the meeting, the conference is not recording.
Clicking the Participants menu will also display a recording indicator next to the user who is actively recording.

Note: Dial-in participants will hear a message informing them that the meeting is now being recorded unless disabled by the Host.
After the meeting has ended, a prompt will appear stating You have a recording that needs to be converted before viewing
Wait for the recording to convert before it can be accessed.
Once the conversion process is complete, the folder containing the recording files will automatically open.

Note: By default, the audio/video file (MP4) will be named "Zoom_0.mp4." The audio only file (M4A) is named "audio_only.m4a."

Important: If the meeting unexpectedly shuts down or if the conversion process is interrupted, the recording files could become corrupted and non-recoverable.
