Zoom - Setup for recording meetings
To record your Zoom meetings, we will be using local recordings only. These steps will guide you through setting a default save location in addition to setting up a cloud storage solution for ease of sharing recorded meetings. A video demonstration of this process is available at the bottom of this article.
