You can download Zoom Cloud Recordings you made as a host from Zoom on the web. 

Download Zoom Cloud Recordings

1. In a web browser, go to stonybrook.zoom.us and, if prompted, click Sign in  and sign in with your NetID and NetID password.
2. In the navigation menu, click Recordings then Cloud Recordings, where you'll see a list of your cloud recordings with their Auto Delete in number of days
   
3. Find the recording you want to view (at the top, adjust the date range and use search, if necessary, to find it); then to the right, click More > Download (x files). Repeat for other recordings you want to download
   Note: Keep Zoom Cloud Recording Retention in mind when accessing cloud recordings, as cloud recordings are automatically deleted as per that retention timeline. Deleted cloud recordings can be recovered from the Zoom cloud trash for 30 days after they are moved to the trash
   
4. The recording files will be in your downloads location with a name based on the date/time the recording was made in GMT
   • The video file is the .mp4 file (e.g., GMT20210427-141742_Recording_640x360.mp4 = video recording made April 27th, 2021, at 14:17 GMT)
   • The transcript is the .vtt file
     Tip: if you upload the .mp4 file to Google Drive, you can attach the .vtt file to the .mp4 file as a caption file in Google Drive
5. If your meeting has not finished converting, the recording will show in the list with a Processing Recording... label; try again later.
   
6. For more options of which files to download:
   1. Back at stonybrook.zoom.us, on the left click on Recordings, and then click the topic name in blue
      
   2. Click on ⤓ Download (x files) button to download all the recordings' files OR hold your mouse over one of the files below (e.g., Shared screen with speaker view, Audio only) and click the ⤓ download button to download just the file*. 
      Note: If you see several groups of recordings (Recording 1, Recording 2) during the Zoom Meeting, the recording was started then stop then started again
