Whether you're working remotely or keeping in touch with friends and family, Zoom has become an essential tool for video conferencing.
But did you know that you can also record your Zoom meetings? Recording a Zoom meeting can be incredibly useful for a variety of reasons.
Maybe you want to have a record of the meeting for future reference, or perhaps you need to share the meeting with someone who couldn't attend. Whatever the reason, recording a Zoom meeting is a straightforward process that anyone can do. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the steps to record a Zoom meeting.
Softprom provides Zoom licenses by bank transfer in national currency with the provision of a full package of reporting documents in accordance with the laws of the country. And of course, we have engineers for your support.
Zoom Recording Locally
Step 1: Start the Zoom Meeting
First things first, start your Zoom meeting. You can do this by launching the Zoom application on your computer or mobile device and clicking on the "New Meeting" button. Alternatively, you can join an existing meeting by entering the meeting ID provided by the host.
Step 2: Access the Recording Options
Once you're in the meeting, look for the "Record" button at the bottom of the Zoom window. Click on the arrow next to it, and you'll see a dropdown menu with recording options.
Step 3: Choose the Recording Type
In the recording options menu, you have three choices: "Record on this Computer," "Record to the Cloud," or "Record to the Cloud and this Computer." Let's break down what each option means:
- "Record on this Computer": This option will save the recording directly to your computer's local storage. It's a great choice if you want to have immediate access to the recording and don't need to share it with others.
- "Record to the Cloud": With this option, the recording will be stored on Zoom's cloud servers. This is helpful if you have limited local storage or if you want to share the recording with others easily.
- "Record to the Cloud and this Computer": As the name suggests, this option will save the recording both on your computer and in the Zoom cloud. It gives you the best of both worlds, as you'll have a local copy for quick access and a cloud copy for sharing.

Step 4: Start Recording
Once you've chosen your recording option, click on the "Record" button to start recording the meeting. You'll see a small recording indicator in the top-left corner of the Zoom window, confirming that the meeting is being recorded.
Step 5: Control Your Recording
While recording, Zoom provides you with some useful options to control the process. You can pause, resume, or stop the recording using the buttons that appear at the bottom of the Zoom window. Additionally, Zoom allows you to annotate the screen or use a whiteboard during the meeting, and these annotations will be included in the recording.
Step 6: End the Meeting and Stop Recording
When you're ready to end the meeting, simply click on the "End Meeting" button. Zoom will automatically stop the recording and begin processing it. Depending on the length of the recording, it may take a few moments for the processing to complete.
Step 7: Access Your Recording
Once the recording has finished processing, Zoom will give you the option to open the folder where the recording is saved. If you chose to save the recording on your computer, you can locate it in the specified folder. If you opted for the cloud storage option, you can find the recording in your Zoom account under the "Recordings" tab.
That's it! Now you know how to record a Zoom meeting. It's a simple process that can come in handy in a variety of situations. Just remember to inform all meeting participants that the session is being recorded, as it's considered good practice and respectful of their privacy. So go ahead, and record those important discussions, memorable moments, or educational webinars. Zoom is not just for live meetings anymore!
