Enabling and starting local recordings

Local recording is available to free and paid subscribers. Local recording allows participants to record meeting video and audio locally to a computer. Local recordings can include participant names, separate audio tracks for each participant, timestamps, and other options. Local recordings capture the meeting as the participant recording sees the meeting, meaning the recording will capture the meeting in speaker view, if that is what video layout is currently in use. 

Getting started with recording

At one time or another you will probably want to record your meeting or webinar for training, legal, or any other purposes.

Zoom has two types of recordings, local recording and cloud recording. Local recordings, which come standard with all Zoom accounts, are saved to your computer. Cloud recordings, included with all paid accounts, are saved to the Zoom Cloud where they can be viewed, shared, and downloaded.

Both options provide standard MP4 video, M4A audio, and chat text files.

Start up your Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode

  2. Press and hold the power button on your Mac until “Loading startup options” appears.

  3. Select a volume.

  4. Press and hold the Shift key, then click Continue in Safe Mode.

    The computer restarts automatically. When the login window appears, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.

Use an iPad as a second display for a Mac

With Sidecar, you can use your iPad as a display that extends or mirrors your Mac desktop.

 

Get ready

  • Before continuing, make sure that your Mac and iPad meet the Sidecar system requirements, including that each is signed with the same Apple ID.

  • You can use Sidecar wirelessly, but to keep your iPad charged during use, connect it directly to your Mac with the USB charge cable that came with your iPad.

If you want your keyboard, mouse, or trackpad to control your Mac and iPad, with the iPad showing its own Home Screen and apps rather than the desktop and apps of your Mac, use Universal Control instead.

Move a Mac window to your iPad

Use the sidebar on your iPad

The sidebar puts commonly used Mac controls on the side of your iPad screen. It includes Command, Shift, and other modifier keys, so you can choose essential commands with your finger or Apple Pencil instead of a keyboard.
