Part 1. How to Cut Zoom Video Recording - Zoom

The meeting's host has the right to edit the beginning and the end of the Zoom video recording if it's recorded in the Cloud. Notably, it makes it by resetting the playback range rather than actually trim the recording technically. Therefore, if the Zoom video is downloaded to your computer, it's still stored with the original length. Also, the users who watch a video recording from Zoom using low bandwidth mode cannot view the new playback range on Safari, IE, or mobiles.

Step 1: Find the video recording in Zoom

Navigate to official Zoom online website, sign in with your own account and go to Recordings tab in the left column. You can see all the Cloud Recordings in the right. Check them and select the one you want to trim.
