Where to upload a Zoom meeting or webinar recording
Updated: November 9, 2026
You recorded the class, meeting or webinar and now you have an hour-long file that won’t fit in an email and fills up your cloud. The practical approach is to upload it to a video host and share a link: attendees and those who missed it watch in the browser, with nothing to download.
Where the file is
- Zoom, local recording: when the meeting ends, Zoom converts the recording to MP4 and saves it in the Zoom folder in your Documents.
- Zoom, cloud recording (paid plans): download it from the recordings section of your account on the Zoom website.
- Google Meet: recordings are saved to Google Drive, in the organizer’s “Meet Recordings” folder.
- Microsoft Teams: the recording appears in the meeting chat and is saved to OneDrive or SharePoint.
Before uploading
- Trim the waiting minutes at the start and the goodbyes at the end, without losing quality.
- Or, instead of trimming, mark that section as the intro on Dembed: the player will show “Skip intro”.
- If personal data is visible (chats, emails, attendees who didn’t consent), edit it out or share it only with attendees.
Upload and share it
- 1Upload the MP4 to Dembed: up to 5 GB per file (50 GB with Premium), plenty for long recordings.
- 2Save it in a folder per event or course.
- 3Add subtitles for anyone watching without sound or in another language.
- 4Send attendees the link, or embed the video on the event or course page.
