HOW TO RECORD MEETINGS ON ZOOM
Hosting or Joining a meeting on zoom is an easy process and you can always refer to the step by step guide to do so. An interesting feature that zoom has is an option to record a meeting. This avoids the need to have an external recording app to perform the recording function. The feature is quite useful if you want to refer to your recordings in the future ahead. Here, I will be sharing the process of how to record meetings on zoom.
BASICS
-Ideally, the host can record the meeting without any permission. Incase, the participant wishes to record a meeting they will have to take permission from the host to do so.
-You can also view your recorded meetings in the ‘MEETINGS’ section which I will explain below.
-If you are not able to allow the participants to record the video you might want to look into the following steps
STEP 1
Sign in to Zoom Web Portal and click on the Account Settings.
STEP 2
Click on the ‘Recordings’ Tab
STEP 3
You will see a list of options. Navigate to the Local Recording option. Make sure the setting is enabled.
