Zoom recordings are saved in two main locations depending on your account type and settings:
- Local Recordings: For free Zoom users or when local recording is selected, the recordings are saved directly on your computer. By default, they are found in a folder named "Zoom" inside your "Documents" folder. Inside that folder, recordings are organized by meeting date and time. Common file formats for local recordings include .mp4 for video with sound and .m4a for audio-only.
- Cloud Recordings: For paid Zoom accounts, recordings can be stored in the Zoom Cloud. These recordings are accessible from any device by logging into your Zoom account on the Zoom website. The Cloud option also provides features like automatic transcription and easier sharing.
You can configure the location and storage method for recordings in your Zoom settings, either opting for local storage on your computer or cloud storage if your account supports it.
In summary, Zoom recordings are either saved locally on your device in the Documents > Zoom folder or stored online in the Zoom Cloud, depending on your account type and recording settings.
