Guide: How to Edit Zoom Recordings on Mac and Windows PC
Zoom is undoubtedly one of the most popular video communication tools in recent times (and we’ve got the ULTIMATE guide am working on it). You can also record your meetings and sessions, and this feature makes it easy to review meeting details at a later time. And unlike Skype, the recordings here do not disappear after the 30 days. While Zoom also allows you to store meeting and session recordings in Cloud, this option is only available for Business and Education accounts. If you don’t have either, these recordings will be saved to the local drive of your Mac and PC. Well, let’s find out how to view and edit zoom images on both Mac and PC.
How to Find Zoom Recordings on Mac and PC
The good thing about Zoom is that the app interface is almost the same for both Mac and Windows PC. Step 1: Open Settings by tapping the gear icon in the top right corner.
Click Recording and you will see the location for the local recording.
Click Open and the Zoom folder on your PC or Mac will open right away. Step 2: The folder name has the date prefixed, followed by the host name and Meeting ID. Double click the icon and you will see the audio and video files.
By default, the recordings are automatically saved in the Documents folder. You can change that location. To do this, click Change or the drop-down list and choose a folder from the list. However, if you want to save the recordings in project-related folders every time you record a meeting, it is best to enable the ‘Choose a location to …’ option.
This allows you to choose a different location every time you need to save a file, saving you time in the long run.
