Accessing your meeting history

Meeting history is one way to track your Zoom meeting usage. It allows you to keep a record of the meetings you have hosted and joined.

How to access the history of meetings you have hosted

The previous meetings you have hosted are accessible to you as the host and to your Zoom account admin/s and owner.
