Where to find your meeting recording file

Every platform saves recordings to a slightly different place. Grab the file, then upload it as is - IronMemo takes audio and video alike.

Zm

Zoom

  1. 1Local recordings convert to MP4 or M4A after the meeting ends and land in the Documents/Zoom folder on Windows and Mac by default.
  2. 2Cloud recordings (paid plans) live in the Zoom web portal under Recordings & Transcripts - a download link is also sent by email.
  3. 3Upload either file to IronMemo - full video or audio-only both work.

Local recording works even on Zoom's free Basic plan, so the file may already be on your disk.

Google Meet

  1. 1Recordings save as MP4 to the organizer's Google Drive, in the My Drive > Meet Recordings folder.
  2. 2A link is also emailed to the organizer and attached to the calendar event.
  3. 3Download the MP4 from Drive and upload it to IronMemo.

Recording is available on paid Google Workspace editions, not on free personal accounts - if you don't see the option, ask the organizer for the file.

Microsoft Teams

  1. 1Meeting recordings are processed and saved to the organizer's OneDrive; channel meetings post the recording in the channel conversation.
  2. 2Open the recording in Teams or OneDrive and choose Download.
  3. 3Upload the MP4 to IronMemo.

Recording needs a Microsoft 365 work or school license with recording enabled by your admin, and organizations can set recordings to expire - download yours early.

Telegram and voice notes

  1. 1In Telegram Desktop, right-click a voice or video message and choose Save As - voice notes export as OGG files.
  2. 2On mobile, use the share or forward menu to save the file to your device.
  3. 3Upload the OGG - or any other exported file - to IronMemo. OGG is supported.

Telegram calls have no built-in recording, so capture them with a separate screen or audio recorder first. Only voice and video messages can be saved directly.

One upload, a full meeting record back

IronMemo turns the raw recording into working documents, not a wall of text.

1

Transcript with speakers

Full text with speaker labels and timestamps - ready to search, quote, and share.

2

Summary and action items

An AI summary with decisions and a task list: who agreed to do what, pulled straight from the conversation.

3

A timestamp behind every point

Each summary point links back to the exact moment in the recording, so any claim can be verified in one click.

Supports MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, WebM, OGG and more - files up to 2 GB, so multi-hour recordings fit.

Meeting bot vs uploading the recording

Both get you a transcript. They differ in who else notices.

A bot joins your call

  • An extra AI-assistant participant appears in the meeting, and everyone sees it.
  • Guests and clients have to be told about the recording bot and be fine with it.
  • Some companies block unknown bots in meeting settings, so it may never get in.
  • The bot must be set up before the call - it can't help with meetings that already happened.

You upload the recording

  • No extra participant on the call - you use the platform's own recording feature.
  • Works retroactively: any meeting you already recorded can be transcribed today.
  • One flow for everything - Zoom, Meet, Teams, voice memos, in-person recordings.
  • You choose which recordings to share with an AI tool, meeting by meeting.

To be fair: a bot is the better fit when you need live notes during the call or you never record meetings yourself. If a recording file exists - or can exist - uploading it is the quieter path.

Frequently asked questions

MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, WebM, OGG and other common audio and video formats, up to 2 GB per file - enough for multi-hour meeting videos.

Short recordings come back in about a minute; longer files take a few minutes. You don't need to keep the tab open - results wait in your workspace.

Yes. IronMemo is built for multilingual teams: 30+ languages, including meetings where people switch languages mid-call. English, Russian, and Spanish are first-class.

No. Your recordings and transcripts are not used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models - they are processed only to produce your results. See the Security page for details.

Upload works with files. Download the cloud recording from the Zoom portal first - it's one click - then upload the MP4 or M4A. Files up to 2 GB are accepted.
