In-Meeting file transfer allows you to send files to other meeting participants during the meeting through the in-meeting chat.

Enabling In-Meeting File Transfer

To enable the In-Meeting file transfer feature for your own use:

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.

  2. Click Settings.

  3. Navigate to the File Transfer option on the Meeting tab and verify that the setting is enabled.

  4. If the setting is disabled, click the Status toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, choose Turn On to verify the change.

For security purposes, the file types/file extensions that can be shared via file transfer can be limited.

Using In-Meeting file transfer:


  1. During a Zoom meeting click on Chat.

  2. Select More and Click on File to send a file.

  3. The following indication will be seen once the file is successfully sent.

  4. The participants will see a notice when a file is sent and will be given the option to download the file. Once Download is selected, they will be able to view the file.
