Sharing computer recordings
Computer recordings allow you to save recordings locally on your computer. However, you can still share your computer recording by uploading it to a third-party cloud storage or platform such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
Notes:
- Always use a unique file name when saving or sharing meeting files. Do not use words such as Zoom, Personal meeting room, or My meeting in the file name.
- You can’t upload computer recordings to the Zoom cloud. You need to use cloud recording to store recordings in the Zoom cloud.
