Zoom has two types of recordings: cloud (online-for Faculty and Staff only) and local (on your computer-for Faculty, Staff, and Students). You can find and access cloud and local recordings two ways:
- In the Zoom Desktop Client (Mac/Windows)
- In the Zoom Web Client at stonybrook.zoom.us
Keep Zoom Cloud Recording Retention in mind for cloud recordings, as cloud recordings are automatically deleted as per that retention timeline.
Access/Find All Recordings in Zoom Desktop (Mac/Windows)
- Launch the Zoom Client on your Windows/Mac and sign into the client using SSO and your NetID and NetID password
- At the top, click Meetings
- On the left, click Recorded
- On the left, select the meeting you would like to view the recording for
- Click Open to open the folder/link for recording files. If you only see an Open button, the recording is a cloud recording; if you see more buttons like Open, Play Video, Play Audio Only, Delete, the recording is a local recording.

When you Open a cloud recording you will see the Download button to save a copy of the video to your computer.
Access/Find All Recordings in Zoom on the Zoom Web Portal
- Sign into your Zoom account at stonybrook.zoom.us with your NetID and NetID password
- On the left, click My Recordings
- Along the top, click Cloud* Recordings or Local Recordings
- For Cloud Recordings, you'll see an Auto Delete in column that shows how many days until the recording will automatically be moved to Zoom Trash
