If your version of Zoom doesn\u2019t match exactly, some steps may vary slightly.\n\n---\n\n## What Is Zoom Clips?\n\nZoom Clips is a feature in **Zoom Workplace** that lets you:\n\n- Record your screen, webcam, or both  \n- Edit and share short videos  \n- Add branding (logos, colors), links, captions, etc. ([zoom.com](https://www.zoom.com/en/products/screen-recorder/features/clip-management/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Accessibility Overview\n\nZoom supports screen readers like **JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver**, and **TalkBack**. ([zoom.com](https://www.zoom.com/en/accessibility/faq/?utm_source=openai))\n\nBut note: **shared screens, whiteboards, and chat windows** are often not fully accessible via screen readers. ([ucl.ac.uk](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/services/communicate-collaborate/zoom/accessibility-features-zoom?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Using Zoom Clips with a Screen Reader: Step-by-Step\n\nThese instructions assume you\u2019re using the **desktop app** or the **Zoom web portal** with screen reader software already turned on.\n\n---\n\n### 1. Confirm You Have Access to Clips\n\n- Zoom Clips is part of **Zoom Workplace**. If you don\u2019t see a \u201cClips\u201d tab or \u201cNew clip\u201d option, your account might not include Clips or it hasn\u2019t been enabled yet. ([zoom.com](https://www.zoom.com/en/products/screen-recorder/features/clip-management/?utm_source=openai))\n\n- If you\u2019re an admin, check account settings to enable Clips. If you\u2019re not, ask your admin. ([zoom.com](https://www.zoom.com/en/products/screen-recorder/features/clip-management/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 2. Navigate to the Clips Section\n\n- Use your screen reader\u2019s commands to go to the \u201cClips\u201d tab in the Zoom app or log into Zoom in your browser and find \u201cClips\u201d from the main navigation.  \n- Once in the Clips section, there should be a \u201cNew clip\u201d button. ([zoom.com](https://www.zoom.com/en/products/screen-recorder/features/clip-management/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 3. Starting a Recording\n\n- After selecting \u201cNew clip,\u201d options will appear for what you want to record:  \n  \u2022 Screen + video (camera)  \n  \u2022 Screen only  \n  \u2022 Video only  \n- Use your keyboard to navigate these choices. Use arrow keys or tab key depending on your screen reader.  \n- Once your selection is made, navigate to \u201cStart recording.\u201d Start recording. ([zoom.com](https://www.zoom.com/en/products/screen-recorder/features/clip-management/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 4. During and After Recording\n\n- You can pause or stop recording using keyboard shortcuts or buttons (check what your screen reader reads out).  \n- After finishing, Clips lets you **trim** and **edit**. Editing tools (cut, trim, maybe adding captions or branding) are available. Use tab/arrow keys to navigate controls. ([zoom.com](https://www.zoom.com/en/products/screen-recorder/features/clip-management/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 5. Sharing Your Clip\n\n- After editing, navigate to the sharing options:  \n  \u2022 Copy link  \n  \u2022 Share in Zoom Workplace (Docs, Chat, etc.)  \n  \u2022 Set permissions (who can view) ([zoom.com](https://www.zoom.com/en/products/screen-recorder/features/clip-management/?utm_source=openai))\n\n- Screen reader will read out the options; follow the cues (e.g. \u201cShare options,\u201d \u201cPermissions,\u201d \u201cCopy link\u201d).\n\n---\n\n## Tips for Better Accessibility\n\n- **Enable screen reader alerts** in Zoom\u2019s settings to get audio cues when things happen. ([makeitfable.com](https://makeitfable.com/tutorial/zoom-accessibility-settings/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Report issues if your screen reader doesn\u2019t read the editing tools or sharing options clearly.  \n- If the interface uses thin outlined icons or unclear labels, there may be known visual contrast issues. ([wiki.diglib.org](https://wiki.diglib.org/Zoom_Accessibility?utm_source=openai))  \n- Whenever possible, prepare materials (like slides, texts) in accessible formats ahead of time, so viewers who rely on screen readers can follow along. ([usu.edu](https://www.usu.edu/accessibility/resources/zoom-accessibility?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which platform you\u2019re using (Windows, macOS, browser, etc.) and which screen reader, I can give you more tailored instructions."

The information comes from Zoom\u2019s current Docs and help resources.\n\n---\n\n## Do You Need to Save a Zoom Clip After Recording?\n\n**No, you don\u2019t need to manually \u201csave\u201d a Zoom Clip** after you finish recording it\u2014Zoom automatically saves it for you once recording stops. Zoom Clips are stored in your **central content library**. ([news.zoom.com](https://news.zoom.com/zoom-clips-beta/?utm_source=openai))\n\nWhen you record a Clip, it\u2019s not like meeting recordings, where you can choose local vs. cloud storage. Instead, Clips go directly into Zoom\u2019s Clip system under your Clips tab. They\u2019re ready to edit, share, or manage without extra saving steps. ([news.zoom.com](https://news.zoom.com/zoom-clips-beta/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## How Do You Play Back a Zoom Clip?\n\nHere\u2019s how to view Clips you\u2019ve recorded:\n\n1. **Open Zoom**: On the desktop app or via Zoom\u2019s web portal, go to where your Clips are stored. This is often a \u201cClips\u201d tab or your **Clip Library**. ([news.zoom.com](https://news.zoom.com/zoom-clips-beta/?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Find the Clip you want**: They should be listed by title, date, or tags. If you\u2019ve edited its name or added tags, that helps. ([news.zoom.com](https://news.zoom.com/zoom-clips-beta/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Play the Clip**:  \n   - There should be a \u201cPlay\u201d button in the Clip\u2019s listing or detail view.  \n   - Use the keyboard if it\u2019s accessible to you\u2014navigation usually follows standard web/tab order.  \n   - Playback should begin in a player embedded in that view. ([news.zoom.com](https://news.zoom.com/zoom-clips-beta/?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Edit or Share** (optional):  \n   - You\u2019ll also see options to trim or edit parts of the Clip.  \n   - Sharing options let you set permissions or generate a link to send to others. ([news.zoom.com](https://news.zoom.com/zoom-clips-beta/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your device (Windows, Mac, phone) and whether you\u2019re using the Zoom app or browser, I can walk you through even more specifically (including keyboard controls and screen reader-friendly navigation)."
