Introduction

Zoom is a popular videoconferencing platform that allows you to hold meetings, webinars, and other virtual events with people from around the world. One of the many useful features of Zoom is the ability to record meetings, which can be useful for a variety of reasons. For example, you might want to record a meeting to share with team members who couldn't attend, or to review the meeting later to jog your memory or make notes.
