How to record a Zoom meeting on iPhone

Three reliable ways to capture a Zoom call on iPhone, plus the option that works without the iOS Zoom app at all.

Recording a Zoom call from an iPhone has a few wrinkles: the iOS Zoom app's built-in recording requires a paid host, the iOS screen recorder captures the whole screen including notifications, and uploading large videos from Photos to your team is a hassle. RecordMeeting's mobile webapp lets you join and record the call directly to your workspace, so you skip the screen-recorder cleanup entirely.

Steps

1

Option 1: Join via the RecordMeeting webapp

Open recordmeeting.com in mobile Safari, sign in, and join your Zoom meeting from there. The recording uploads directly to your workspace. No extra screen recorder, no Photos cleanup.

Option 2: Use the iOS screen recorder

Settings → Control Center → add Screen Recording. Open the Zoom mobile app and join the call. Swipe down from the top-right to open Control Center. Long-press the record button, enable Microphone, then tap Start Recording. Stop from the same place when done. The clip saves to Photos.

Option 3: Record on desktop, view on mobile

If you also have a Mac or PC, record from RecordMeeting's Chrome extension on desktop. Recordings sync to your workspace and you can watch, share or download them from your iPhone in mobile Safari.

Good to know

Why the iOS screen recorder isn't ideal

iOS screen recording captures the whole screen, including notifications, battery indicator, and anything you switch to. It also stops capturing the meeting if you swipe to another app. The RecordMeeting webapp captures the call itself, regardless of what's on screen.

Frequently asked questions

Can I record a Zoom meeting on iPhone without anyone knowing?

iOS screen recording does not announce to remote Zoom participants that you are recording. However, recording without consent can be illegal in your region. We strongly recommend always telling participants you're recording.

Is there a RecordMeeting iOS app?

RecordMeeting runs as a webapp in mobile Safari. There is no separate iOS app to install. Just open recordmeeting.com on your iPhone.

Does the iOS screen recorder capture the meeting audio?

Yes. Long-press the screen-recording button in Control Center and turn on Microphone before starting. This captures both the meeting audio and your own voice.
