  5. Click on a meeting to view, download, share, or delete the recording .

  2. Navigate to the Meetings tab (or Calendar depending on your version).

  3. Select Recorded on the side panel

  4. Cloud recordings will show an “Open” button — click it to jump to the web portal view for that recording

Useful Tips

  • Recording host role matters — cloud recordings are saved to the host’s account even if a co-host starts recording

  • Cloud recordings might take a few minutes to fully process, and older ones may auto-delete depending on retention policies
