This will provide you <b>with more control over the audio quality<\/b> and allow you to edit specific audio tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do so, select the \u201cRecording\u201d tab in your Zoom settings and customize your selections from the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-record-a-podcast-using-zoom\"><\/span>How to Record a Podcast Using Zoom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click \u201cNew Meeting\u201d to start the call.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the \u201cInvite\u201d button and choose \u201cCopy Invitation.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy and paste the invite ID and passcode to share with your guest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When your guest joins the call, select the \u201cManage Participants\u201d button at the bottom of the screen to enable recording for each person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test the audio to ensure everyone\u2019s voices are clear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once everyone is ready to begin, click the \u201cRecord\u201d button and start the conversation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When finished, click the \u201cStop\u201d button.
