Locate a computer recording

Your computer recordings are stored to your computer hard disk. By default, they’re in your Documents folder in a file named zoom.

Locate a cloud recording

Your cloud recordings are stored in the Zoom cloud. They are in your Recording tab of your Zoom web portal, which you can password protect, share, and download. This feature is available to paid Zoom Pro, Business, Education, and Enterprise plan subscribers. With cloud recording capabilities, you can record from your mobile device, a Zoom Room, as well as your desktop.
