Capturing a Zoom video call can prove to be extremely beneficial for future use, particularly when the need arises to revisit vital details or distribute them with absent attendees. As the host, you hold the privilege of recording your meetings and webinars either onto your device or onto the cloud storage. Below are the necessary procedures to record a Zoom meeting as the host:
Step 1: Start the Meeting
Before you can start recording, you need to initiate the meeting. Once you have started the meeting, you will see a toolbar at the bottom of your screen. Click on the “Record” button, which looks like a camera icon.
Step 2: Choose Your Recording Preferences
After clicking on the “Record” button, you will be presented with a pop-up window that allows you to choose your recording preferences. You can choose whether to record the meeting to your computer or to the cloud. If you choose to record to your computer, you can also select the location where you want to save the recording. Additionally, you can choose whether to include audio and video in the recording.
Step 3: Start Recording
Once you have chosen your recording preferences, click on the “Start Recording” button. A notification will appear at the top of your screen letting everyone know that the meeting is being recorded. You can also choose to pause or stop the recording at any time by clicking on the “Pause” or “Stop” buttons in the toolbar.
Step 4: End the Meeting
When you are finished with the meeting, click on the “End Meeting” button to end the call. If you recorded the meeting to your computer, the recording will be saved to the location you specified in step 2. If you recorded to the cloud, the recording will be available for download or sharing from your Zoom account.
Conclusion
Recording a Zoom meeting as a host is a simple process that can be incredibly useful for future reference. By following these steps, you can ensure that your meetings are recorded and saved for easy access later on.
