Stumped at where your Zoom Recordings go? You’re not alone. Figuring out where your recordings end up can be a bit of a head-scratcher. Don’t worry, though – this guide’s got you covered. We’ll walk you through finding your Zoom recordings, whether you saved them on a Mac, Windows, or on Zoom’s Cloud.
Where Do Zoom Recordings Go (on Mac)
For Mac users, by default, Zoom saves these files in the Documents folder. To access them, simply open Finder, navigate to Documents, and then to the Zoom folder. Here, you’ll find your recordings neatly organized, named after the date, time, and title of your meetings.
Where Do Zoom Recordings Go (on Windows)
Windows users will find their Zoom recordings in a similar location. By default, Zoom stores these files in the Documents folder.
To access them, go to C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Zoom. Inside, you’ll find your recordings, again organized by the date, time, and meeting title.
Where Do Zoom Recordings Go (in Zoom Cloud)
If you’re using Zoom’s cloud storage feature (available for paid accounts), accessing your recordings is just a few clicks away. Sign in to your account on the Zoom website, navigate to the ‘Recordings’ section, and you’ll find two tabs: ‘Cloud Recordings’ and ‘Local Recordings’. Under ‘Cloud Recordings’, you can view, download, or share your cloud-stored meetings.
