Managing cloud recording settings (Zoom Support)
Zoom Support, 2026
Read the originalRead on October 19, 2026
- What it is
- Zoom's support article on the account-level cloud recording settings. It covers auto-deletion of cloud recordings after a set number of days and the option to keep deleted cloud recordings in the Trash for 30 days.
- How much weight it carries
- Zoom's own help article, so it states the product's settings and their default wording. The Trash period is a setting an admin or user turns on, and the article does not give a default for the auto-deletion day count. Institutional IT pages that set their own periods were not used.
Facts taken from this source
- Zoom says that when the trash setting is turned on, deleted cloud recordings are kept in the trash for 30 days.
“After enabling this setting, deleted cloud recordings will be kept in the trash for 30 days” (Recording settings, Allow recovery of deleted cloud recordings from Trash)
