Introduction

Zoom is a popular video conferencing platform that allows users to communicate and collaborate remotely. One of its most useful features is the ability to record meetings, which can be a lifesaver for anyone looking to revisit important conversations or share them with others. In this post, we'll be showing you how to take advantage of this feature and record yourself on Zoom.

Set up Zoom on your device

To record your meetings on Zoom, the first thing you will need to do is set up Zoom on your device. This is a simple process that involves downloading the Zoom app and creating an account.
