Zoom was a sort of lifeline for video conferencing services during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, various reports got viral about the lack of privacy and security measures in Zoom. With that being said, many companies and schools have shifted towards alternatives. If you are also going to leave Zoom, deleting your account is the way to go. If you have subscribed to Zoom, you have to cancel your subscription before closing your account. Here’s how to delete your Zoom account.
What happens when you delete your Zoom account?
As soon as you close your account, your profile and account will be permanently removed, including your settings, meetings, webinars, and recordings, from Zoom. You can transfer the user’s data (meetings, webinars, and cloud recordings) to another user before deletion.
Important: Deleting a Zoom account is permanent, and you cannot delete your account within the app.
