When the recording starts, a red recording icon will appear on the screen. This lets you know that the recording is in progress and also how long it has been running.

When you're done recording, you can stop the recording. To stop the recording, simply tap on the "More" button on iOS or the three dots on Android and tap on "Stop Recording."

Step 5: Find the Recording

Once the recording has stopped, you can find it by navigating to the "Meeting" tab in the Zoom app and finding the meeting that you recorded. The recording will be saved as an MP4 file, and you can share it or download it as you please.

Step 6: Extra for Audio recording

If you just want to record audio, you can also use the "Record audio only" option from the menu , and use it as a note taking method or have a backup of audio

Step 7: Switch on the Mute on entry feature

When you start a meeting, you can also enable the "Mute on entry" feature, this will automatically mute your microphone when you join the meeting which can help to reduce background noise and interruptions.

Step 8: Note down Meeting ID and Passwords

Step 9: Check Your Phone's Storage

It's important to check your phone's storage before recording a Zoom meeting. Make sure that you have enough space on your phone to save the recording, otherwise, the recording may not save or the app may crash. If you're running low on storage, you can free up some space by deleting unnecessary files or by moving them to a cloud storage service like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Step 10: Use External Microphone

To improve the audio quality of your recording, you can use an external microphone. This can be done by connecting a USB or Bluetooth microphone to your phone. This can help to reduce background noise and improve the overall audio quality of the recording.

Step 11: Test the Recording

Before the meeting, it's a good idea to test the recording to make sure that it works as expected. You can do this by starting a test meeting and recording it. This will allow you to check the audio and video quality and make any necessary adjustments before the actual meeting.
