This post makes a detailed introduction to the Zoho meeting, including the pros and cons, tutorials, etc. Moreover, if you need to record the meeting for some reason, you also can find the best solution to get the work done here. We will present you how to record meetings with its built-in recorder and alternative free video recording software.

Zoho Meeting Review

Zoho meeting, a browser-based application without downloading, is one of the online conferences and webinars software. It collaborates with audio and video conferencing, screen sharing, and webinar schedules.  

Advantages of Zoho Meeting:

Price: The free trial, for 14 days, has all the features of the Pro version. Subscription pricing is based on the number of hosts and participants.

Invite and meet online: attendees only need the conference's link and password to join the meeting online, no need to download any application.

Schedule conferences and webinars: the host makes a scheduler task for a webinar, including setting the holding time and inviting conference participants by adding their email addresses.

Notification and event management: it sends emails to participants before the webinar as reminders. And the upcoming meetings manage to remind people what conferences you are going to attend.

Multi hosts: it is supported to add more than 1 host for a conference or a webinar, depending on your pricing plan.

Built-in recording function: you can record the conference with a built-in recorder during the conferences. And you can also replay or share it with links after the meeting.

Disadvantages of Zoho Meeting: 

No on-demand webinars: it is not allowed to schedule a webinar or record the webinar automatically in the cloud.

No whiteboard tools: it is not supported with whiteboard sessions, so viewing and annotating on image files is unattainable.

No screen capture: only audio recording is allowed, but video recording is not supported in this program.

No presentation streaming and presentation tools: It cannot show a presentation and your camera simultaneously.

No private chat: it is not allowed in-meeting chat in Zoho, so you can not send a private message to an individual user.

Less maximum participants: the maximum number of attendees at a meeting is 100; for a webinar, it is 250. For a large group with hundreds of people, this online meeting software probably may not be the best conference platform for you.

How to Record Zoho Meeting

During a webinar, you may want to record the conference to replay it later. Or you may not have time to participate in the webinar and want to learn about the meeting later by recording the meeting. Here, we introduce to you two ways to capture meeting content.

Capturing Zoho Meeting with Built-in Recorder

Same as other meeting software, Zoho meeting has its own recorder. You can catch the meeting audio without any effort with its built-in recorder, and you can share recordings with the link. Here are the steps to record with the built-in recorder.

Step 1. Click on the "Join a Meeting" button at the program's upper right corner to join a webinar first.

Step 2. Click on the "Start Recording" button to record the meeting.

Step 3. Click on the "Stop Recording" button to stop recording.
