How to clean up a Zoom or Meet recording

To clean up a Zoom recording, you mostly need to remove keyboards, fans and kids, and bring up people sitting far from their mic. This guide shows how, with a free tool that keeps the audio on your computer.

Clean up a Zoom recording in three steps

  1. Step 1

    Get the audio file

    Use the audio-only file from your recording, or save the sound from the video first.

  2. Step 2

    Open it here

    Drop it above and keep Clean Voice on.

  3. Step 3

    Export with the Call target

    A small mono MP3 at an even level, easy to share or archive.

Zoom and Meet audio clean-up, step by step

The same steps work for a ten-minute call or a two-hour workshop.

  1. 1

    Find the audio

    Zoom’s computer recordings can include an audio file next to the video. Use that one. Wow My Voice opens audio files, not MP4 video.

  2. 2

    Only have a video?

    Meeting recordings often come as a video file only. Convert it to M4A, MP3 or WAV with an audio converter you trust, then continue.

  3. 3

    Open the file

    Drop it on this page. It opens in the studio, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, which matters for internal meetings.

  4. 4

    Go easy on noise removal

    Meeting apps often clean the audio already. Start Noise Suppression around 60% and only raise it if noise remains. Too much makes voices thin.

  5. 5

    Even out the speakers

    Some people are loud, some are far from the mic. In Advanced, turn the compressor up so quiet voices come forward.

  6. 6

    Trim small talk

    Select the waiting-room chat at the start or the goodbyes at the end and press Delete. Ctrl+Z undoes.

  7. 7

    Export

    Call recording gives a compact 16 kHz mono MP3. Choose Podcast instead if the meeting will be published.

What to expect

Gets better

Fans, hum, typing between sentences, street noise, uneven volume and much of the room echo.

Stays the same

The robotic glitches and dropouts of a bad connection. Those are baked into the recording.

Talking over each other

Two voices at once stay two voices. Noise removal does not separate people.

Questions

Can I open a Zoom MP4 directly?

Not yet. Wow My Voice opens audio files only. Use the audio file from the recording, or convert the MP4 to audio first.

Does this work for Google Meet and Teams recordings too?

Yes, once you have the audio as a file. Meeting recordings are usually videos, so save the sound from them first.

Is it safe for confidential meetings?

Your recording is processed in your browser on your own computer. It is never uploaded to us or anyone else.

How do I remove background noise from a Zoom recording for free?

Open the recording’s audio in Wow My Voice and keep the Clean Voice preset. It removes the noise in your browser, with no signup and no limit. Choppy sound from a bad connection cannot be fixed, though: it was lost before the file was saved.

Will it make a transcript?

No. Wow My Voice has no transcription. A cleaner file can still help when you run it through a transcription tool afterwards.

Can I clean up several meetings at once?

Not in one go. Open and export them one at a time.
