Can you record just Audio on Zoom during a meeting?

“Is it possible to capture just audio in a Zoom meeting? Video recordings have a larger size and take up more device space so I only want to keep the audio recording. Can I record just audio on Zoom?”

Yes, you can record audio only on Zoom via its cloud recording feature. Cloud recording provides the “Record an audio only file” option that helps to capture audio from a Zoom meeting. To use this feature, you need to meet the requirements below:
