Editing Zoom Recordings

If your Zoom recording is a cloud recording and you only need to do basic editing to it, you can edit it directly on the Zoom web portal. 

If the recording is local or you need to do more, first, download/save your cloud or local recording as an mp4 file, and then use other video editing software to edits to your Zoom video.
