Viewing and Sharing Your Zoom Recordings

View and share recordings

• Recordings on the Cloud are saved in your Zoom account.
• Recordings on your computer are saved in your Documents folder in the Zoom subfolder.
• Recording folders are named for the date and time of recording, the meeting number, and the meeting name. 

To view a recording in the Cloud:

1. Log into the Zoom web portal.
2. Click Recordings on the left-hand menu. 
3. Your Cloud recordings will be listed in the Cloud Recordings tab. 
   • If the recording isn't finished processing, Processing Recording will be listed to the right of its name.
     
     
     
     
4. Click the meeting name.
   • You'll see three files you can download and share: video (with audio), audio, and an automatically-generated transcript. 
   • Hover over a file to play it, or click Download, Share, or Delete. 
     
     
     
     
   • If you click Share, you'll get a link for viewing the recording online.
     • You can set the recording to private-to-VT or public to those who have the link.
     • You can allow viewers to download the recording.
     • You can password protect the recording.  
       
       

To view a recording on your computer: 

1. Navigate to your computer's Documents folder.
2. In Documents, open the Zoom folder.
3. Find the recording you'd like to view and open that folder. 
4. A meeting recording file will be listed as double_click_to_convert_01.
5. Double-click the file, and Zoom will convert the recording and show you the conversion status.
   
   
   
   
6. When conversion is done, the double_click_to_convert_0X file will be replaced by three files:
   • audio_only - an M4A file
   • playback - an M3U file with video and audio
   • zoom_0 - an MP4 file with video and audio
7. Play the files in a media player. 
8. If you want to share the recording, you'll have to save the file and share it manually.
