Transfer your meetings, webinars, and cloud recordings manually to a new computer

With its useful features, such as meetings, webinars, and cloud recording, Zoom has proved particularly attractive for our purposes.

Zoom is a company that specializes in providing mobile and cloud-based video conferencing software for users. The Zoom video conferencing app is compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android operating systems and can connect with H323/SIP-based conference room systems. It can support up to 1,000 high-definition audio and video participants in a single meeting.

So let's look at the automatic methods first.

Though online conferencing apps may have moved, you might still see Microsoft Office, Adobe, Windows Live Mail, and Dropbox on your transfer list. If you need to change the install location for these apps, we're happy to recommend how to transfer Microsoft Office to a new computer.
