有时您可能想要录制Zoom会议，例如当您是一名教师并想要保存与学生一起上的在线课程时。无论您出于何种原因，在本教程中，我们将向您展示如何制作Zoom会议录音。如果您想了解如何做到这一点，并找到一些常见问题的答案，例如“您可以在 Zoom 上免费录制吗？”、“您可以在 Zoom 上录制多长时间？” ("Can you record on Zoom for free?", "How long can you record on Zoom?")，或“为什么我不能录制我的 Zoom 会议？” ("Why can't I record my Zoom meeting?")继续阅读：
关于录制Zoom(Zoom)会议你应该知道的事
在我们向您展示如何录制Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)之前，您应该了解有关 Zoom 中可用的录制功能的几件事：
-
Zoom 可让您免费录制整个会议，但前提是您在本地(Zoom lets you record entire meetings for free, but only if you're recording locally)、Windows PC、MAC或Linux 计算机(Linux computer)上录制。
- 您可以在Android(Android)智能手机或iPhone上录制会议，但只能在云端录制，而且云端录制功能不是免费的(the cloud recording feature is not free)。云(Cloud)录制仅适用于付费Zoom计划（Pro、Business或Enterprise帐户）。
- Zoom本地录制功能(recording feature)仅在您拥有(only if you have a)Zoom 帐户时可用。
- 为了能够录制Zoom会议，您需要使用适用(you need to use the Zoom app)于 Windows、macOS 或 Linux 的 Zoom 应用程序。您无法从网络浏览器录制 Zoom 会议。(You can't record Zoom meetings from a web browser.)
如果您是Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)的主持人，您可以按照本指南下一部分中的步骤录制会议。
如果您只是参与者，您必须先请求主持人允许您录制 Zoom 会议(If you're just a participant, you must first ask the host to allow you to record the Zoom meeting)。阅读本教程中的“如何允许参与者录制 Zoom 会议”("How to allow participants to record a Zoom meeting")部分，了解如何让其他人录制您作为主持人的会议。
如何录制 Zoom 会议
加入Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)后，从窗口底部查看工具栏。如果您没有看到工具栏，请稍微移动鼠标光标，它应该会出现。(mouse cursor)在其上，单击或点击“记录”(Record)按钮。
按下Record后，Zoom 应用程序(Zoom app)就会开始录制您的会议。只要它这样做，您就可以在应用程序窗口的左上角看到一条正在录制...消息。(Recording…)
如果您稍微移动鼠标光标，Zoom还会显示两个录制控件：暂停(Pause)和停止录制(Stop Recording)。此外，这些按钮同时显示在工具栏和窗口的左上角。
如果您想中断录制一段时间，请(Pause)单击或点击(click or tap)暂停。当您这样做时，Zoom 会显示一条记录暂停(Recording Paused)消息，并且暂停(Pause)按钮变为恢复(Resume)。显然，要继续录制，请按“继续(Resume)”按钮。
要停止录制Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)，请按下应用程序左上角或底部工具栏上的停止录制按钮。(Stop Recording)
在您停止会议录制(meeting recording)后，Zoom会在您的桌面上短暂显示一条通知，告诉您“会议结束时录制的文件将转换为 mp4”("The recorded file will be converted to mp4 when the meeting ends")。
当您完成了Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)中计划的所有主题后，您可以通过单击或点击(click or tap)应用程序右下角的结束会议按钮来关闭它。(End Meeting)
会议结束后，Zoom开始“转换会议记录”。("Converting the meeting recording.")您可以在Zoom(Zoom)自动打开的同名新窗口中监控此过程。等待(Wait)转换完成。
注意：(Note:)您也可以停止转换(Stop Converting)录制文件，但随后您将使用视频转换器应用程序(video converter app)手动完成。如果您希望能够尽快播放会议录音，请等待Zoom转换。
如何查看您的Zoom会议记录
转换会议记录(meeting recording)后， Zoom会启动文件资源管理器(File Explorer)并自动将您带到保存视频和音频文件的位置。默认情况下，在Windows 10中， (Windows 10)Zoom会议记录的位置是C:UsersUser NameDocumentsZoom。在Zoom文件夹中，每个会议记录都有自己的子文件夹，其名称包括其日期、时间和主题。对于记录的每个会议，您应该至少获得三个不同的文件：
-
audio_only.m4a包含(audio_only.m4a)Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)的录音
-
播放.m3u(playback.m3u)是一个播放列表文件(playlist file)，自动加载音频文件(audio file)
-
zoom_0.mp4是Zoom 会议的(Zoom meeting)视频文件(video file)，包括视频和音频(video and audio)
或者，您可以直接从Zoom 应用程序(Zoom app)轻松查看和管理所有Zoom会议记录。在Zoom中，选择顶部的会议(Meetings)，然后单击或点击左侧面板上的录制。(Recorded)在那里，您将获得按日期排序的已录制会议的完整列表。选择其中任何一个，Zoom 会(Zoom show)在窗口右侧显示一些详细信息和选项：
- 您可以看到该Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)的名称以及录制时间
- 保存它的文件夹的路径
- 您还可以选择打开(Open)录制的会议文件夹、使用默认媒体播放器播放、仅(Play)播放音频(Play Audio Only)和删除(Delete)录音（其整个文件夹消失）
如何允许参与者录制Zoom会议
如果您在Zoom 通话(Zoom call)中并想要录制它，但您不是主持人，则按录制(Record)按钮不起作用。那时您可能会问自己：“为什么我不能录制我的 Zoom 会议？” ("Why can't I record my Zoom meeting?"). 您在 Zoom 显示的消息中得到答案：“请向会议主持人请求录制权限。” ("Please request recording permission from the meeting host.")🙂
如果您是Zoom 会议的主持人并且有人(Zoom meeting and someone)要求您允许他或她录制，您可以在不离开电话的情况下这样做。将鼠标光标(mouse cursor)悬停在该人的顶部，然后单击(person and click)或点击小的“三点”按钮。
在上下文菜单中，选择允许记录(Allow Record)。一旦你这样做，那个人就可以开始录制Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)。
如果您改变主意并且不再希望Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)中的某个人能够录制它，请按照相同的步骤操作，然后在菜单上选择禁止录制。(Forbid Record)
还有一种允许或拒绝参与者录制Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)的替代方法。在Zoom的窗口中，单击或点击(click or tap)底部工具栏中的“参与者(Participants)”按钮。然后，在显示的“参与者(Participants)”面板中，单击或点击您要允许或禁止录制会议的人员右侧的“更多”。(More)
这将打开一个新菜单，您可以在其中选择Allow Record或Forbid Record，具体取决于您授予该人的当前权限。
如何查看谁在录制Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)
了解Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)的参与者是否以及哪些参与者也记录了它有时会很有用。例如，如果您是教师，您可能想知道哪些学生正在录制您的课程。要查看谁在录制Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)，首先，单击或点击(click or tap)底部工具栏中的“管理参与者(Manage Participants)”按钮。
在“参与者(Participants)”面板中，所有正在录制Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)的人都标有一个红色的小图标。
如何更改Zoom会议记录的设置
Zoom 应用程序(Zoom app)包含一些您可能想要检查和调整的录制配置选项。(recording configuration)要找到它们，请打开Zoom 并单击(Zoom and click)或点击仪表板右上角的小齿轮图标（主页(Home)）。
在缩放设置(Settings)窗口中，选择左侧的录制。(Recording)
然后，在右侧，您会看到所有本地录制(Local Recording)选项：
-
位置(Location)向您显示Zoom会议记录的保存位置，还允许您更改将保存下一个记录的默认文件夹(default folder)。如果您在计算机或设备(computer or device)上选择其他位置，之前录制的会议将保留在其原始位置。
-
“在会议结束时选择录制文件的位置。” ("Choose a location for recorded files when the meeting ends.")如果您启用它，Zoom不会自动将会议记录保存在默认位置(default location)，而是会在会议结束后询问您将每个记录保存在哪里。
-
“为每个发言的参与者录制单独的音频文件。” ("Record a separate audio file for each participant who speaks.")您可以让Zoom(Zoom record)单独记录每个人，而不是创建包含所有参与者音频的音频文件。(audio file)
-
“为 3rd 方视频编辑器优化”("Optimize for 3rd party video editor")保存会议视频文件(meeting video file)，使其与视频编辑应用程序更兼容。
-
“为录音添加时间戳。” ("Add a timestamp to the recording.")每个Zoom 会议(Zoom meeting)记录都会在视频中获得带有日期和时间的标签。(date and time)
-
“在屏幕共享期间录制视频。” ("Record video during screen sharing.")即使通话参与者共享屏幕，Zoom 也会继续录制他们的视频。
-
“将视频放在录制文件中共享屏幕的旁边。” ("Place video next to the shared screen in the recording.")启用之前的设置后，Zoom会并排录制参与者的视频和共享屏幕。
-
“保留临时录音文件。” ("Keep temporary recording files.")如果您启用此设置，Zoom会保留在录制会议时创建的临时文件，这对于故障排除很有用。
而已！
您多久录制一次Zoom会议？
如您所见，录制Zoom会议相对容易。基本上(Basically)，您所要做的就是按下Zoom 桌面应用程序中的(Zoom desktop)录制(Record)按钮。但是，如果您是简单的参与者，则主持人必须允许您录制。在结束本教程之前，请告诉我们您是否定期录制Zoom会议。(Zoom)如果您有什么要添加到我们的教程中，或者如果您有任何问题，请在下面的评论部分与我们联系。
How to record a Zoom meeting
There are times when you might want to record your Zoom meetings, like when you're a teacher and want to save the online lessons you're having with your students. Whatever your reasons, in this tutorial, we'll show you how to make Zoom meetings recordings. If уou want to learn how to do that, aѕ well as find answers to some common questions such as "Can you record on Zoom for free?", "How long can you record on Zoom?", or "Why can't I record my Zoom meeting?" read on:
What you should know about recording Zoom meetings
Before we show you how to record a Zoom meeting, there are a couple of things you should know about the recording features available in Zoom:
-
Zoom lets you record entire meetings for free, but only if you're recording locally, on a Windows PC, MAC, or Linux computer.
- You can record meetings from an Android smartphone or an iPhone but only in the cloud, and the cloud recording feature is not free. Cloud recording works only on paid Zoom plans (Pro, Business, or Enterprise accounts).
- The Zoom local recording feature is available only if you have a Zoom account.
- To be able to record Zoom meetings, you need to use the Zoom app for Windows, macOS, or Linux. You can't record Zoom meetings from a web browser.
If you're the host of the Zoom meeting, you can record the meeting following the steps from the next section of this guide.
If you're just a participant, you must first ask the host to allow you to record the Zoom meeting. Read the "How to allow participants to record a Zoom meeting" section from this tutorial to see how to let others record a meeting in which you're the host.
How to record a Zoom meeting
After you join a Zoom meeting, look at the toolbar from the bottom of the window. If you don't see the toolbar, move your mouse cursor a bit, and it should appear. On it, click or tap on the Record button.
As soon as you've pressed Record, the Zoom app starts recording your meeting. For as long as it does that, you can see a Recording… message on the top-left corner of the app's window.
If you move the mouse cursor a bit, Zoom also displays two controls for the recording: Pause and Stop Recording. Furthermore, these buttons are shown both on the toolbar and the top-left corner of the window.
If you want to interrupt the recording for a while, click or tap on Pause. When you do that, Zoom shows a Recording Paused message, and the Pause button changes into Resume. Obviously, to continue the recording, press the Resume button.
To stop recording the Zoom meeting, push the Stop Recording button, either on the top-left corner of the app or on the toolbar from the bottom.
For a short while, after you stop a meeting recording, Zoom displays a notification on your desktop in which it tells you that "The recorded file will be converted to mp4 when the meeting ends".
When you've gone through every subject planned in your Zoom meeting, you can close it with a click or tap on the End Meeting button from the bottom-right corner of the app.
Once the meeting is over, Zoom starts "Converting the meeting recording." You can monitor this process in the new window bearing the same name that's automatically opened by Zoom. Wait for the conversion to finish.
Note: You can also Stop Converting the recording, but then you're going to do it manually using a video converter app. If you want to be able to play the meeting recording as soon as possible, wait for Zoom to convert it.
How to see your Zoom meetings recordings
After the meeting recording has been converted, Zoom launches File Explorer and automatically takes you to where the video and audio files were saved. By default, in Windows 10, the location of Zoom meetings recordings is C:UsersUser NameDocumentsZoom. Inside the Zoom folder, every meeting recording gets its own subfolder with a name that includes its date, time, and topic. For every meeting recorded, you should get at least three different files:
-
audio_only.m4a contains the audio recording of the Zoom meeting
-
playback.m3u is a playlist file that automatically loads the audio file
-
zoom_0.mp4 is the video file of the Zoom meeting, including both video and audio
Alternatively, you can easily see and manage all your Zoom meetings recordings directly from the Zoom app. In Zoom, select Meetings on the top, and then click or tap on Recorded on the left panel. There, you get the complete list of meetings that you've recorded, ordered by date. Selecting any of them makes Zoom show you some details and options for it, on the right side of the window:
- You can see the name of that Zoom meeting and when you've recorded it
- The path to the folder in which it's saved
- You also get options to Open the recorded meeting folder, Play it using your default media player, Play Audio Only, and Delete the recording (its entire folder goes away)
How to allow participants to record Zoom meetings
If you are in a Zoom call and want to record it, but you're not the host, pressing the Record button does not work. That's when you are probably going to ask yourself: "Why can't I record my Zoom meeting?". You get your answer in the message shown by Zoom: "Please request recording permission from the meeting host." 🙂
If you are the host of the Zoom meeting and someone asked you to allow him or her to record it, you can do so without leaving the call. Hover your mouse cursor on top of that person and click or tap on the small "three-dots" button.
In the contextual menu, select Allow Record. As soon as you do it, that person can start recording the Zoom meeting.
If you change your mind and no longer want someone in the Zoom meeting to be able to record it, follow the same steps, and select Forbid Record on the menu.
There's also an alternative way of allowing or denying participants to record a Zoom meeting. In Zoom's window, click or tap on the Participants button from the toolbar on the bottom. Then, in the Participants panel that shows up, click or tap More on the right of the person you want to allow or disallow to record the meeting.
This opens a new menu, where you can choose to Allow Record or Forbid Record, depending on the current permissions you have given to that person.
How to see who's recording a Zoom meeting
Knowing whether and which of the participants of a Zoom meeting also record it can be useful at times. For example, if you're a teacher, you might want to know which of your students are recording your class. To see who's recording a Zoom meeting, first, click or tap on the Manage Participants button from the bottom toolbar.
In the Participants panel, all the people that are recording the Zoom meeting are marked with a small red icon.
How to change the settings for Zoom meetings recordings
The Zoom app includes a few recording configuration options that you might want to check and adjust. To get to them, open Zoom and click or tap on the small gear icon from the top-right corner of your dashboard (Home).
In the Zoom Settings window, select Recording on the left.
Then, on the right side, you see all the Local Recording options:
-
Location shows you where the Zoom meetings recordings are saved, and also lets you change the default folder in which the next ones are going to be saved. If you select another place on your computer or device, previously recorded meetings are left in their original location.
-
"Choose a location for recorded files when the meeting ends." If you enable it, instead of automatically saving the recordings of the meetings in the default location, Zoom asks you where to save each of them after they end.
-
"Record a separate audio file for each participant who speaks." Instead of creating an audio file with all participants' audio, you can make Zoom record each person individually.
-
"Optimize for 3rd party video editor" saves the meeting video file so that it's more compatible with video editing apps.
-
"Add a timestamp to the recording." Every Zoom meeting recording gets a label with its date and time on the video.
-
"Record video during screen sharing." Zoom continues to record video from call participants even when they're sharing their screens.
-
"Place video next to the shared screen in the recording." When the previous setting is enabled, Zoom records the participants' video and shared screen side-by-side.
-
"Keep temporary recording files." If you enable this setting, Zoom keeps the temporary files created while recording meetings, which could be useful for troubleshooting purposes.
That's it!
How often are you recording Zoom meetings?
As you've seen, recording Zoom meetings is relatively easy. Basically, all you have to do is press the Record button in the Zoom desktop app. However, if you're a simple participant, the host must permit you to record. Before closing this tutorial, tell us if you record Zoom meetings regularly. If you have something to add to our tutorial, or if you have any questions, get in touch with us in the comments section below.
