How to Record Zoom Meeting on iPhone

Sometimes we need a recording of an important online meeting. Whether it is a business meet or a friend’s reunion, some memories need to be stored. Video conferencing is fully evolved after the COVID-19 effect on our lives. Many people are using the Zoom video conferencing program for their online meetings and we today learn how to record Zoom meetings on iPhone.

Zoom Meeting Record Limitations

Zoom is a fantastic video conferencing program and no doubt about it. However, it has some limitations when you are trying to record a meeting locally or in the cloud. A cloud-based recording facility needs a paid Zoom account and it is the main hurdle to record a Zoom meeting on iPhone.
