If you are logged in to a meeting room or shared computer do NOT follow these instructions.  If you are regularly recording meetings from a personal comptuer logged on with your username you may wish to record them locally as a default.   Zoom does not recommend setting your recordings to automatically save to a network drive or cloud storage like Dropbox or OneDrive as your recordings may become corrupted.  They strongly suggest that recordings be saved locally and then moved.   To do this:

1. In Windows
   1. In Windows File Explorer
      1. Scroll down to the Local Disk (C:) section
      2. Right click Local Disk (C:) and select New and then click on Folder

      4. A Browse for Folder window appears. Scroll down the list to This PC and expand Local Disk (C:), then click to select the folder you just created
      5. Exit from the Zoom client

   Note: Dial-in participants will hear a message informing them that the meeting is now being recorded unless disabled by the host.
5. After the meeting has ended, Zoom will convert the recording so you can access the files.
6. Once the conversion process is complete, the folder containing the recording files will open.
