Downloading Your Zoom Cloud Recordings

Keep Zoom Cloud Recording Retention in mind for cloud recordings, as cloud recordings are automatically deleted as per that retention timeline.

Download Zoom Cloud Recordings

In a web browser, go to otc.zoom.us and, if prompted, click Sign in
In the navigation menu, click Recordings then Cloud Recordings, where you'll see a list of your cloud recordings with their Auto Delete in number of days
Find the recording you want to view (at the top, adjust the date range and use search, if necessary, to find it); then to the right, click More > Download (x files). Repeat for other recordings you want to download
Note: Keep Zoom Cloud Recording Retention in mind when accessing cloud recordings, as cloud recordings are automatically deleted as per that retention timeline. Deleted cloud recordings can be recovered from the Zoom cloud trash for 30 days after they are moved to the trash
The recording files will be in your downloads location with a name based on the date/time the recording was made in GMT
- The video file is the .mp4 file (e.g., GMT20210427-141742_Recording_640x360.mp4 = video recording made April 27th, 2021, at 14:17 GMT)
- The transcript is the .vtt file
If your meeting has not finished converting, the recording will show in the list with a Processing Recording... label; try again later.
