It is strongly recommended that you communicate with the alternative host to check what should be done with these recordings. If you do not take action, these will be automatically deleted as per Zoom retention period.

Once the recording is deleted from the Zoom Cloud storage, access will be lost. You may choose to download the recording as per FAQ 3 and share it via alternative online hosting services.

After 1 year, the recordings in the Zoom Cloud are placed in your Zoom account Trash folder for an additional 30 days. You will receive a notification from Zoom 7 days before the recording is permanently deleted from the Trash, in case you want to recover the recording from the Trash temporarily to download a copy of it.
