Zoom Classes: Deaf Tips: After: Local Recording-Viewing

Accessing and converting local recording files (desktop client)

Note: For versions 4.6.10 or higher, you can't convert local recording files by double-clicking the Zoom files. You must follow the steps below to convert the files. If you're issues converting a local recording, see our troubleshooting suggestions.

1. Open Zoom and click Meetings.
   
2. Click the Recorded tab and select the meeting with a local recording.
   
   Note:
   • Local recordings display the file path and options to open, play, or delete the recording.
   • If you only see the Open option, it means the recording is a cloud recording.
   • If you have a local recording that hasn't been converted to a video file yet, click Convert to convert the recording to a video file and display the options below.
3. You can access these options to manage your local recordings:
   • Open: Open the folder that contains the recording files.
   • Play Video: Play the recorded meeting using your computer's default media player.
   • Play Audio: Play the recorded meeting audio with your computer's default media player.
   • Delete: Permanently delete the recording from your computer.
   • Refresh icon : Refresh the recording list if you don't see your recording.
4. (Optional) Follow the steps to share a local recording if you want others to see your recording.
