How to record on Zoom

• Open Zoom
• Click on "New Meeting" or "Start". (The choice depends on whether you are showing Home or Meetings.)
  • You should see video of yourself.
• Move the cursor over the picture of yourself if needed, to make the Record button appear at the bottom of the window.
• Click the "Record" button. Select "Record on this computer" if a popup menu appears.
• Do your thing, whatever you want to record.
• When finished, click on the "Stop Recording" button, the small black square where the "Record" button used to be.
• Closing the meeting should bring up a message about converting and saving the recording in a place of your choice.
• To check while the meeting is in progress, you need to find the saved recording.

  • Mine is saved in a folder something like Documents:Zoom:2020-08-31 14.29.38 David Morgan's Zoom Meeting 93330706443

  • You may need to search for ZOOM in the Finder or Desktop Explorer or similar.
  • Open that folder / directory.
  • Open (double click) on double_click_to_convert_01.zoom
  • Zoom will convert the "Meeting" and ask for a place to save it. Choose anywhere that you can find again.
• If the resulting file is less than 10MB, you can send it as an email attachment.

  • If not, use a cloud service of your choice. There is a link to a Google Drive account on from StreamingServicesContributions.
