Zoom Screen Recording Guide in 2024

Can you do the zoom screen recording? Yes, definitely you can. Stay with us, and we will guide you on how you can record the Zoom screen.

Zoom is one of the most popular software for video communication. It is used in almost every industry, including business, teaching, and politics. Sometimes, we often need to record the meetings on Zoom so that we can use them later. You can record your meeting with the Zoom application or any third-party application. In this article, we will explain how you can record your meetings on Zoom. Zoom has some limitations; therefore, we will also have a look at its alternatives.

Part 1. How to Do The Zoom Screen Recording

Zoom enables hosts to record the meetings. The meeting can only be recorded by the host or the person who has permission to do so. The host can grant recording permission to the participants. If you are a host or eligible participant, you can follow the given steps to record the screen.

Note: While recording using Zoom, only the zoom window is recorded. You cannot record anything outside that window.

Step 1. Start a meeting. When everything is ready, click on the record button.

Step 2. You might have two options when you click the record button. The two options will be “Record on this Computer” and “Record to the Cloud”.

“Record on this Computer” is for saving the recorded video on the computer. This is an excellent feature, and the video is directly stored after the end of the meeting. Keep in mind that this feature is only available on computers; you will not find it while using Zoom on your mobile.

“Record to the Cloud” saves the video file in the Zoom cloud. This video can also be shared easily, and you can also download it later. It is available on mobile, but the host must be a licensed user.

If there is no option and the video is being recorded once you press the record button, then by default, it will be “Record on this Computer”

Step 3. Once you start the recording, you will see the pause and stop button; you can easily control the recording.

Step 4. The recorded video will only be saved after ending the meeting. It will be saved to the computer or cloud (as selected by the user). You can check the Documents>Zoom folder. You will have the recordings in folders renamed by date and time.

In Zoom, go to the Meetings. Click on the Recorded tab. You will see the recorded videos here with options to play, share, delete, etc.
