FAQ for Cancelling a Zoom Subscription

You can cancel your Zoom subscription at any time before the next billing cycle by following the steps outlined above.
You will still be able to access your paid benefits until the end of your billing cycle.
Can I Still Store Zoom Recordings in the Cloud on a Free Plan?
Yes and no.
Can you do it through Zoom? Unfortunately not. With the free Zoom plan, you can only store recordings locally (on your computer or hard drive).
We know it’s a bit of a PITA which is why tl;dv is free!
As a free alternative to a Zoom paid plan, tl;dv does allow you to store your recordings on the cloud. Not only that, but it empowers you to do a lot more with your Zoom calls too! tl;dv can transcribe your meetings in more than 20 languages, as well as allow you to set timestamps and highlights so that your colleagues or friends can jump to the most important parts. Editing Zoom video also becomes a breeze with the handy tl;dv clipper tool. But the best part? You get unlimited recordings! 😏
Did we mention it’s free?
You can download tl;dv to record with Zoom, or if you’re making the switch to Google Meet, you can get it as a browser extension.
What’s the Difference Between Canceling a Zoom Subscription and Deleting a Zoom Account?
By choosing to cancel Zoom Pro, you are able to reactivate your plan whenever you feel like it. You can still use the free plan, the only difference is that you will lose access to the paid plan benefits at the end of your final billing period.
When you delete a Zoom account, you are permanently deleting the account so that you will not be able to use it again, even on the free version. That means no more funny Zoom backgrounds for you.
