Part 1. 2 Ways to Record Zoom Meetings on Computer Without Permission

Some third-party applications like Eassiy allow you to record the Zoom meeting even if the host hasn’t shared the recording permission with the participants. Unlike many other applications, Eassiy works for both iPhone and computer. So, regardless of the device you use to record the Zoom meetings, you can use Eassiy to record the screen. Let’s briefly learn both methods and how to record Zoom meetings on iPhone and computer using Eassiy Screen Recorder Ultimate.

Method 1: Only Record Zoom Meetings without Any Distraction

Eassiy Screen Recorder Ultimate has multiple recording modes: full-screen, partial-screen, or application-specific. You can use the application-specific option to record the Zoom tab in high-definition (1080p) without distractions. That is to say, even if you minimize the meeting tab and carry on some other work, Eassiy will only record the Zoom tab in the background and exclude other activities in the screen recording.

Now, if that’s clear, here’s what you can do with Eassiy Screen Recorder while recording the Zoom screen. Firstly, you can use annotation tools in the screen recording using arrows, text editor, airbrush, and more.

Second, you can include internal sound (Zoom meeting’s host and participants’ conversation) in the screen recording. Eassiy Zoom Recorder allows you to manage the audio levels, too, i.e., increase/decrease the internal and external sound.

In addition, you can use the built-in video editing suite in Eassiy to trim and remove unwanted parts from the Zoom meeting recording. Other editing tools like Auto-split allow you to intuitively separate the long-Zoom recordings into small parts. These editing tools are essential as they will enable you to record and share important points discussed in the Zoom meeting with others conveniently.

The Pros: Why Use Eassiy to Record Zoom Meetings via the Computer:

• No Host Permission is Required. Eassiy allows you to capture the Zoom meeting regardless of whether you have the host's permission or not.
• Record without Interruptions. Lock the Zoom tab and let Eassiy record without any interruptions. You can do other tasks like taking notes or even minimizing the Zoom tab, as Eassiy will only record the selected Zoom tab and exclude everything else.
• Add Webcam Overlay. You can include a webcam overlay when you record the Zoom meeting on the computer.
• Use Microphone Sound. Record the Zoom meeting with internal and microphone sound to speak while recording, even if the host has muted you. So, this feature will help you conveniently share your thoughts about a topic or idea during the Zoom meeting.
• No Limits. Long Zoom meetings and not productive enough to gather all information at once? Use Eassiy and record Zoom sessions to revisit them.
• Edit the Zoom Recording. Use Trim and Auto-split to remove the unwanted parts from the Zoom meeting recordings.
• Take Screenshots during Live Recording. Eassiy comes with advanced screenshot functionalities like endlessly long or panoramic screenshots on Windows.
• Create Custom Hotkeys. Sharing the screen and cannot minimize the screen to open Eassiy and record Zoom? No problem. Create custom-keyboards shortcuts to start, end, take screenshots, and record the Zoom meeting using hotkeys.

The Cons:

• Eassiy’s free version only allows you to record the Zoom meeting for up to 3 minutes. So, you have to purchase a license to capture long Zoom meetings.
