How to Record a Zoom Meeting
Zoom recording is available on all Zoom plans, which means you can still record a meeting on a free Zoom account. In Zoom, they call it a “Local Recording”, which means that you are recording the Zoom meeting locally in Zoom. You are unable to record audio transcripts, the shared screen layout with an active speaker thumbnail, or the active speaker and gallery view. You cannot record on the iOS or Android app.
How to Enable Zoom Recordings as a User
Go to zoom.us and sign into your account. Once you’ve logged in, click on “settings” on the left-hand side to manage your account’s settings.
Note: if you are not the admin of your account, reach out to the account owner to ask for Zoom Recording permissions.
Within the settings window, click on the “Recording” tab.
In the “Recording” settings, find the setting that says “Local Recording” Click the button so that it is in the on position.
Scroll down for more setting options including allowing participants to record, automatic recordings, voice settings, and recording notifications.
Next time you start a new meeting, you will have the permission to record the meeting.
