How do I share my screen?
Sharing a cloud recording in Zoom
- From the email that you
received when the cloud recording has finished processing. There
will be a password at the end of the link. You have to be careful
copying and pasting because it is easy to pick up a stray
character at the end, which causes the password to fail.
- In the Zoom web port, under recordings, click Share next to the meeting name in the list.
- You can then copy the link to the clipboard and look up the password if needed.
- Share via email.
- For more information, view our Zoom Recording and Stream Upload video under Zoom Instructional Videos.
