Zoom Meeting Connector is an on-premises, *non-hybrid* meeting solution. Unlike Zoom Meetings Hybrid, Meeting Connector offers Zoom’s meeting infrastructure and architecture exclusively within your data centers, without the possibility of cloud fallback or support. This solution allows customers to maintain control of their meeting media and restrict access to meeting servers for additional security, data residency or compliance.

The following table outlines some of the key differences between Zoom Meetings Hybrid and Zoom Meeting Connector:

Zoom Recording Connector is an on-premises recording solution for meetings hosted via Zoom’s Meeting Connector. Because Meeting Connector-hosted meetings cannot utilize cloud infrastructure, Recording Connector allows customers to record their meetings on-premises without relying on the meeting host’s local machine for storage or processing.
