How to start a cloud recording

Only hosts and co-hosts can start a cloud recording. If you want a participant to start a recording, you can make them a co-host or use the local recording. Recordings started by co-hosts will only appear in the host’s list of recordings in the Zoom web portal.

To record a meeting to the cloud manually (you can also start your cloud recording automatically):

  1. Start your instant or scheduled meeting as the host.
  2. Click the Record  button.
  3. Select Record to the Cloud to begin recording.
    Note
    : If you are muted, a Recording Alert pop-up window will appear indicating You are muted.
  4. To stop recording, click Pause  / Stop Recording  or End Meeting.
    Once the meeting has ended, the recording must be processed before viewing. Zoom will send an email to the host’s email address when the process is completed. There will be two links in the email, the first will be for the host, only to manage the recording. The second link will be for the participants.
