Managing Zoom Events recordings for Hosts
Zoom Events ticket registrations can be customized to include complimentary access to the cloud recordings of your Zoom Events events. This provides registrants with the ability to watch the recordings of the Zoom Events events at their convenience, even if they were unable to attend the Zoom Events events themselves. With the purchase of a ticket, you will have the option to include this as an added benefit.
By providing free access to event recordings with the purchase of a ticket, the following benefits will be achieved:
- As soon as the event starts, the recording of the event will be started automatically. In this way, you will ensure that the event is recorded, even if you or one of your substitute hosts forgets to start it when it is time to record.
Note: You will need to manually start recording an event if you are not included in the complimentary access to event recordings with your ticket registration, since these events do not include free access to event recordings. - Provide free access to the recording of single-session events for all registrants, regardless of whether they missed the event or attended it, for seven days after the recording has been made available to everyone who registered for the event.
- Registrants of a single-session event will have the ability to access and view the recording of the event, once it is available in the cloud, for a period of seven days after the event has taken place.
- If the lobby is open at the time of the recording of the conference, you will be able to access the recording (if you have been given access).
- Zoom Events Attendees will be able to view the recording of the event once they have registered for the event and have accessed the Tickets and Event Details page of Zoom Events.
Note:
Zoom’s web portal provides users with the ability to download, edit, delete, and share recordings.
In order to eliminate the need for you to manually upload the recording at the end of the event, we will post it automatically after completion of the event. A recording of a session will be automatically selected if the longest file is originating from the same recorded session, rather than the shorter ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Zoom Recordings go to the host?
How do I host a Zoom recording?
- It is important that you start a Zoom meeting as the host so that everyone can see what’s going on.

Where does the Zoom recording go if the host leaves?
What happens to Zoom recording when host changes?
It is the person who started the meeting, unless you have chosen to use alternative hosts. Whether or not a participant’s host role is transferred to another participant between the start of a meeting and the start of recording, the role of the host will not change once a meeting starts and before the recording begins. Using Echo360, you will also be able to set up your recordings to be automatically stored so that you won’t need to do anything.
What happens to Zoom recording if host loses connection?
In the event that the meeting host is unable to connect to the meeting, the meeting host will be replaced by a randomly selected member of the meeting party in case of power outages, interruptions of internet service, or other unforeseeable circumstances.
