How to Record a Zoom Call

Recording your Audio and/or Video call on Zoom is a simple process. At the bottom of your Zoom call screen you’ll see a “Record” button. Click on that button at the beginning of your call. It will give you 2 options of where to save the recording.

  1. Directly to your computer
  2. Zoom’s cloud service

It is easier to save your recording to Zoom’s cloud service. It’s part of your subscription and won’t take up any space on your computer.

Once the call is complete your files will now be stored in Zoom’s “cloud”. To share the files with someone, all you need to do is copy the link and send.

What are the benefits of using Zoom?

There are numerous benefits that Zoom meetings provide to a business, these include:

  • Communication with Employees, Connections, Clients, etc. – In times where a face to face meeting is not possible, a Zoom meeting is an easy and accessible alternative.
  • Revenue Growth – using a Zoom call as a sales tool requires little extra effort but has a huge benefit. Try creating and offering pre-recorded informative Zoom calls as webinars. These can be free and used as lead generation or as a bonus or limited-time extra to those buying your product or service. Featuring industry connections on an educational Zoom call is something you can monetize too.
  • Generate Valuable Company Content – recorded Zoom content is the gift that keeps on giving. It can be cut up for use in social media, emails, paid ads, landing pages, you name it. Once it’s up, this content is sharable, helping to increase traffic to your website, and generate leads too.
  • Cost-effective – if you already have the tools needed to begin your Zoom meeting, which most computers come with them built in, migrating to Zoom is extremely cost-effective – if not free!
