How to Record a Zoom Meeting for a Podcast
There are a few ways to record a Zoom meeting, depending on your role (host or participant) and your Zoom plan:
If you’re the host:
- Local Recording:
- This is available on all Zoom plans (including the free one).
- The recording is saved to your computer.
- Click the “Record” button.
- You choose to record to the cloud (if you have a paid plan) or to your computer.
- Cloud Recording:
- This is available on paid Zoom plans (Pro, Business, Education, and Enterprise).
- Recordings are saved to the Zoom cloud.
- Click the “Record” button and pick “Record to the Cloud“.
If you’re a participant:
- You can only record the meeting if the host gives you permission.
- The host can do this by clicking “Manage Participants” and then allowing recording for your user.
- Once you have permission, you can follow the same steps as the host to record the meeting.
Additional Tips:
- Check your settings: Before recording, ensure you have enough storage space on your computer or in the Zoom cloud.
- Inform participants: It’s good practice to let everyone know you’re recording the meeting.
- Pause/Resume: Pause and resume the recording if needed.
- Stop recording: Click “Stop Recording” button to stop the recording.
- Access recordings: Local recordings are saved to your computer. Cloud recordings are accessed through the Zoom web portal.
