Recording an Active Zoom Meeting

Issue/Question

I am needing to record a Zoom meeting while the meeting is live.

Environment

  • Zoom

Resolution

  1. Open the Zoom desktop app on your device.
  2. Navigate to meeting you would like to start. In the Home  tab, you can create a New meeting or start a scheduled meeting by selecting it in the right-hand panel and clicking Start.
  3. Once in your meeting, click More in the toolbar. 
  4. Select Record.
  5. Select Record to this computer or Record to the cloud.
    Note: ITS highly recommends to record to the cloud.
  6. You can control the recording using the Pause and Stop buttons. The recording will stop once you end the meeting. It may take a few minutes for your recording to process. Once recording is complete, a notification will appear on your device and an email notification will be sent to view recording.
