| Step # | Action |
| 1 | One important prerequisite that needs to be fulfilled before you can record a Zoom meeting on your Android smartphone is that you have to ensure you’ve activated the “Cloud Recording” option on your account. This function must be activated because Zoom saves your recordings online on a cloud drive. |
| 2 | To do this, go to the Zoom web portal (zoom.us/signin) from your phone/computer/other device and log into your respective account. |
| 3 | As soon as you’ve logged into the web portal, you’ll find a drop-down menu on the top part of the page. (An example of this can be found below)  Open the drop-down menu, look for the option labeled “Settings,” and select it. |
| 4 | Once you get to the Settings window, look for the tab labeled “Recording” and tap/click on it. |
| 5 | You’ll see an option that says “Cloud Recording” on the Recording tab. Make sure that it says it’s activated, as this will allow you to record the meetings from your Android phone. After you’ve done that, you can start recording Zoom meetings from your Android. |
| 6 | Now, to record an actual Zoom meeting, you have to first be on a call. |
| 7 | Once you’re in the meeting, look for the meatball menu–the one with the three horizontally-aligned dots labeled “More”–and then tap on it. |
| 8 | Upon tapping on the meatball menu, more options will pop up. Look for the option labeled “Record” (or something similar to that), then select it. |
| 9 | The recording will begin, and you will hear a voice prompt saying, “Recording in progress,” confirming this. |
| 10 | Once the recording begins, you can pause or stop your recording by opening the meatball menu again, as doing this will bring up the “Pause” and “Stop” options. The “Pause” option will allow you to stop the recording temporarily and allow you to continue after you tap on it again. The “Stop” option will end your recording entirely once tapped on. |
| 11 | When your meeting ends, Zoom will then process your recording and then upload it to the cloud drive/web portal. To view them, all you have to do is go to the “Recordings” tab on the web portal. |
| 12 | Congratulations! You now know how to record a Zoom meeting from your Android phone! |
