How to Record a Zoom Meeting on Android

This article provides a guide on how to record both audio and video during a Zoom meeting on your Android phone or tablet. If you are a paid user and the meeting host, you are allowed to record the meeting directly through the Zoom app. However, if you are not a paid user and/or not hosting the meeting, you can only record the session using the screen recording feature on your Android device.

Upgrade to a Paid Account (if necessary). With a paid account, you can record meetings on your mobile device using the Zoom app’s Cloud Recording feature (the meeting will be saved to cloud storage). This feature is available only to paid users. Without a paid account, you cannot record meetings through the Zoom app and save them directly to your device’s storage. Besides cloud storage, upgrading your account also allows you to host larger meetings with more participants and longer durations. The upgrade fee is $14 per month (approximately 335,000 VND). You can upgrade your account at https://zoom.us/pricing.

Host a Zoom Meeting. Only the host is authorized to record the meeting. Follow these steps to host a meeting:

• Open the Zoom app.
• Tap on the Meet & Chat tab at the bottom of the screen.
• Tap on New Meeting.
• Tap on Start a Meeting.

Tap the center of the screen. The user interface will appear at the top and bottom of the screen.

Tap on ⋯ More (More). This option, located at the bottom-right corner, will bring up the More menu.

Tap on Record (Record). This is the first option in the More menu. Once selected, the meeting will begin recording. You’ll see "Recording" displayed in the top-right corner while the meeting is being recorded.

Tap on ⋯ More again when you want to stop recording. To stop or pause the recording, tap on the More tab at the bottom-right corner once again.

Tap the Pause (Tạm dừng) or Stop (Dừng) button. Tapping the two-line icon (Pause) will temporarily halt the recording of the meeting. The square icon (Stop) is used to end the recording. Once you stop the recording, the recorded content will be processed and uploaded to the Cloud. The host will receive an email once the meeting recording is uploaded. You will receive two links: one for the host and another for the participants.

Join or host a meeting on Zoom. You can use the Screen Record feature on your Android device to record the screen of any app, including Zoom. The length of your recording depends on the available storage on your device. Follow one of these steps to join or host a meeting:

• Start a meeting: Open the Zoom app and tap the 'New Meeting' button in orange.
• Join a meeting: Tap the meeting invite link sent by the host, or open the Zoom app and tap Join Meeting. Enter the meeting ID and passcode to join.

Swipe down from the top of the screen. This action reveals the Quick Settings icon for Android devices at the top of your screen.

Swipe down from the top of the screen again. The Quick Settings menu will expand to show additional options.

Tap on the icon Screen Recorder (Screen Recording Tool) or Screen Recording (Screen Capture). This option appears with a camera icon in a rectangular shape (on Samsung Galaxy) or a dot in a circle (on Android devices). Tap on this icon to activate the Screen Recorder feature.

• If you don't see this icon, swipe left to view icons on the next page. If you still can't find the Screen Record icon in the Quick Settings menu, tap on the "Pencil" icon at the bottom right corner, then drag the Screen Record icon into the Quick Access menu at the top of the screen.

Select the device's audio for recording. When recording the screen, you can capture audio from the microphone, device sound, or both simultaneously. If you're recording a Zoom meeting, it's recommended to use the device's audio to capture the meeting sound instead of the microphone. Follow these steps to choose the device's audio for the recording:

• Samsung Galaxy: Simply tap the button next to "Media Sound".
• Android Devices: Tap the arrow icon (⏷) next to "Record Audio" and select Device Audio. Then, toggle the switch to ensure "Record Audio" is enabled.

Tap on Start (Begin) or Start Recording (Begin Recording). If you're using a Samsung Galaxy, tap on Start Recording in the Options menu below. For Android devices, tap on the blue Start button below. A countdown will appear, and the screen recording will start as soon as the timer hits zero.

Stop the screen recording. To stop the recording when necessary, follow these steps:

• Samsung Galaxy: Simply tap the square (Stop) icon in the top right corner to stop the recording.
• Android Devices: Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the red banner labeled "Recording Screen" to stop the recording.

Review the screen recording. To watch the recorded screen video, follow these steps:

• Samsung Galaxy: Open the Gallery app. Navigate to the Screen recordings folder.
• Android Devices: Open the Photos app. Tap on the Library section and select Movies.
