Frequently Asked Questions
What settings for Zoom recordings?
Zoom meetings (low motion content) compress very well. Try 480p at 55-65% quality. A 1-hour meeting should compress to under 100MB.
Will the speaker's audio still be clear?
Yes. AAC 128k is more than sufficient for speech audio in meetings.
Can I compress a 3-hour webinar?
Long recordings work but take a long time in the browser (30-90+ minutes). Keep your computer on and the tab active.
Do Zoom recordings include both video and audio?
Standard Zoom cloud recordings are a single MP4 with mixed audio and video. Drop that file directly into the tool.
