If you're using Zoom’s cloud recording feature, it’s important to know that breakout room activity is not included in the recording—even if the host is in a breakout room.
Cloud Recording Limitations
-
Only the main room is recorded when using cloud recording.
-
Breakout rooms are excluded, regardless of where the host is during the meeting.
Recording Breakout Rooms: Local Recording is Required
To record breakout room activity, you must use local recording, which saves the video directly to a participant’s device.
To enable local recording in breakout rooms:
-
The host must grant recording permission to individual participants.
-
Only the breakout room the recording participant is in will be recorded.
-
Multiple participants can be allowed to record simultaneously, covering different breakout rooms.
💡 If the host records locally:
-
Their recording will continue when they move into a breakout room.
-
However, anything that happens in that room before the host joins will not be captured.
