Zoom Recording to 'Cloud Recording' servers
Purpose
When you record a meeting and choose Record to the Cloud, the video, audio, chat and audio transcription text are recorded in the Zoom cloud. The recording files can be downloaded to a computer or streamed from a browser. You can record the meeting in different recording layouts including active speaker, gallery view, and shared screen. Zoom Meeting & Webinar recordings are stored on Zoom Cloud recording servers for a short period of time. Please see the Cloud Recording File retention knowledge base article for further information.

These are accessible from the license profile page, under the settings option, and recordings tab.

- After this transcript is processed, it appears as a separate file in the list of recorded meetings. In addition, you have the option to display the transcript text within the video itself, similar to a closed caption display.

Note: After the meeting ends, you will receive an email that lets you know that your cloud recording is available. A short time later, you also receive a separate email letting you know that the audio transcript for the recording is available. These emails include links to view your recordings and transcript.
