Question :
I’ve received a web-link to a recording of a Zoom-call that I was in a few days ago, but it is password-protected and only available to watch for a few days… but I won’t be able to wacht the replay the recording since I need to travel these coming days…

Is it possible to download a (password-protected) replay of the Zoom-call ?


Answer :
Downloading online video is possible, but most FREE options (either online or from the Mac AppStore) don’t have an option to download Zoom-calls and/or password-protected videos.

One of the simplest (and cheapest) options to do so is using the Downie.app :
– download the Downie.app for macOS (if you don’t already have it)
– open the Downie.app
– open the recording of the Zoom-call in Safari (or any other webbrowser)
– copy (or drag) the URL into Downie.app
– in the window that opens, typ in the Zoom session password when prompted
– you will now see the Zoom call appear in the list of downloads, but downloading will be stalled
– now, fiirst click ‘Done’ in the window where you previously typed the Zoom session password
– then the window will close and the download will automatically
– when done, you can find the downloaded recording in the place where you set Downie to save any downloads

That’s it !

enjoy 😉
