RECORDING A MEETING IN ZOOM

Zoom’s recording feature is an easy-to-use tool that allows you to store zoom recordings either locally or on Zoom’s website. This quick guide will show how to record and manage recordings from Zoom.

To initiate a Zoom recording, click the Record button found on the meeting’s toolbar.

You will see 2 options. Choose which option works best for you.

LOCAL RECORDING

If you choose Record on this Computer by default, all recordings will be in MP4 format and will be placed in a Zoom folder found in the following file path on these devices:

PC: C:\Users\User Name\Documents\Zoom

Mac: /Users/User Name/Documents/Zoom

Note: You can find more details on local recordings, including changing the default location of your recordings by visiting Zoom's support page.

RECORDING TO THE CLOUD

It is important to know that the storage limit on Zoom’s site for UF users is 1GB. An email alert will be sent to account Owner when usage is at 80% of the subscribed storage limit.

Recording to the cloud will store your videos on your Zoom Profile page. You can access your Zoom Pro profile through UF's Zoom Page and clicking the UFL Sign In button. Once there, you can find the “Recordings” tab on the left.
