Recording a meeting locally (Student use, optional for faculty and staff)

1. While hosting a Zoom Meeting, move your mouse to the bottom of the window (if screen sharing is not activated) or to the top of the window (if screen sharing is activated) to display the Zoom taskbar. Select 'Record.' 

2. Select 'Record to your local machine.'

You and your participants will be notified by the indicator in the upper-left corner that the meeting is being recorded.

Local recording enables users to record meeting video and audio directly to their computer.

The recorded files can be uploaded to a file storage service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or a streaming service like YouTube or Vimeo. Zoom recording can also be stored, shared, and edited in Panopto.

Note: By default, the audio/video file (MP4) will be named Zoom_0.mp4. The audio-only file (M4A) is named audio_only.m4a.  The local recording is an mp4 file that displays what’s visible in the session. All participants' video feeds are shown, and if there’s shared content, that screen is part of the recording with just the speaker visible. When a session is recorded to the cloud, there can be multiple recordings depending on what happens in the session - speaker view/shared screen, gallery view/shared screen, shared screen, and audio. 

All recordings 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
