- What it is
- Zoom's help article on recording a meeting to your own device instead of Zoom's cloud. It states that the feature is open to free accounts, which makes it the usual route for transcribing on a free plan.
- How much weight it carries
- Official Zoom page, last modified 15 October 2026 according to its metadata. An account owner or admin can switch the feature off, so a free user may not be able to record.
Facts taken from this source
