The Major Reason for Your Zoom Recording Feature Not Showing Up

You need to have the meeting host’s permission to unlock the recording feature. Once the recording begins, a notification will sent to every participant in this meeting. 

And besides this, you may also encounter the loss of Zoom recordings, check the 5 reasons below to get back your clips. 

Some Clues for Your missing Documents:

1. Auto deletion

Your recordings will be deleted for good after 30 days. This situation happens when your license is due. 

Note that files deleted after 30 days are permanently deleted, there is no way to retrieve your files. 

2. The processing problem

The recordings will not be instantly ready when your meeting is over. It takes some time to process your clips. And if you share the recordings with your friends, they will not see an intact recording. 

3. Check your trash can to see if there are any misdeleted files

Your missing recordings might be unconsciously deleted by yourself, please check your trash can to see if there are any documents. Note that documents exceeding 30 days will be permanently deleted and there are no turning backs. 

4. You don’t claim the permission of the meeting host to share the recordings

In the first place, if you don’t gain the meeting host’s permission, you cannot record on Zoom. If you want to have a copy of the Zoom remote meeting, you can ask the meeting host for help. He/she might recorded along the way. 

5. Your videos are edited, and the cropped or trimmed parts will lose

The edited recordings once trimmed will not show the original version of it themselves. If you want to obtain the full length of recordings, you can restore the trimmed recordings into their original version.
