What are my recording and storage options for Zoom meetings and webinars?
Zoom offers two options for recording a meeting or webinar:
- Local recording - this option will store your recording directly on your computer or device. You can then upload to a cloud storage provider (e.g. Google Drive), or video streaming service such as YouTube or Vimeo.
- Cloud recording- this option will store your recording in Zoom Cloud temporarily. You can then download to your computer or device, and/or upload to a cloud storage provider. The Cloud recording setting must be enabled in your Zoom settings in order to use this feature. Learn how to enable cloud recordings.
Please note: starting January 6, 2021, all Zoom Cloud recordings will automatically be copied to Kaltura. Learn more: https://dls.berkeley.edu/frequently-asked-questions-about-zoom-kaltura-integration
