[Solved!] How Long Does It Take Zoom to Process a Recording

Part 1. How Long Does It Take Zoom to Process a Recording?

When it comes to an estimation for how long Zoom take to process a recording, it's much. On average, Zoom takes twice the recording time; if the session is of 1 hour, you need to wait for 2 hours to get the recording. Sometimes, it might take longer due to the high usage of the app at that time.

Zoom Recording Get Stuck at 'Processing Recording'?

Zoom has indicated that processing times for Cloud Recordings can typically take 24-72 hours to process. Please contacted Zoom support if your recording is still processing a week after the meeting/webinar and and they were able to resolve this and retrieve the recording.

Part 2. How Much Time Does It Take for a Meeting to Get Uploaded to Zoom Cloud?

We have been making some recordings recently and have noticed that the alert email stating that the recording(s) are ready arrives roughly 3-3.5 hours after the completion of a 2-hour recording to be uploaded to the Zoom cloud.

If you have used Zoom Cloud before, I believe you will obviously feel that this is happening more and more frequently. Why? I believe the reason is not new to you: COVID-19 pandemic. Now Zoom is mainly used for delivering lectures, managing interviews, team/corporate meetings, and much more. Even the eLearning programs have their base in recordings. And this is exactly why its popularity got a hike during the pandemic, which means the cloud needs more time to process the recording under this kind of unusually high volume.

Part 3. Common Issues that You May Encounter When Recording Zoom Meetings

Besides that, you might have to face certain situations that may hinder your Zoom recording. Let's look at these, along with the solutions.

1. Zoom is not recording audio

Whenever you start recording the video, a pop-up appears to ask if you require the audio recording or not. You have to checkmark this option for smooth Zoom audio recording with video.

2. Zoom recording not showing video

Often it happens because of the insufficient storage space in your system. Zoom is not able to process the video recording in that case. Moreover, you must check the settings once where it's a must to enable the Zoom Cloud recordings option and then record thumbnails while sharing.

3. Zoom recording keep stopping

If you are facing the issue of Zoom crashing, it might be due to the Zoom servers. Even you should check the local path of recording. The reason can be the invalid local storage path.

4. Zoom is not recording the full session

It happens mostly when you are using the free version. Here the screen recording time is only 40 minutes, and if your video is lengthy, you won't get the full recording. For complete recording, you need to switch to paid plans.

5. Deleting the Zoom recording accidentally

Sometimes, people delete the Zoom recording accidentally. In this scenario, you should open the Zoom web portal and the Recordings. It might be present in the Cloud storage, but you can't recover it if it's not.
