Found a Zoom alternative that better suits your needs? Then, it makes sense to cancel your Zoom subscription and save money. After all, what’s the point of paying for Zoom when you don’t need its premium features? Plus, you can resubscribe or reactivate your membership as and when required.

But how to cancel your Zoom subscription? Continue reading as we explore all known ways to cancel your Zoom subscription. But before that, let’s look at the two prerequisites for ending your membership. 

Prerequisites for Canceling Your Zoom Subscription

You must fulfill the following conditions to cancel your Zoom subscription: 

• You must have purchased the subscription online.
• You must be the account owner or admin.
• If you’ve got a custom role, it should have billing privileges.

How to Cancel Your Zoom Subscription on the Web

Follow these steps to cancel your Zoom subscription on the web portal: 

1. Visit Zoom.us. 
2. Sign in to your account by clicking the Sign In option at the top right corner. 
3. Verify your account using the code sent on your phone or email.
4. In the navigation menu on the left, click Account Management. Then, select Billing from the sub-menu that opens.
   
5. Under the first tab, i.e., Current Plans, choose the plan you want to cancel and click Cancel Plan. This will stop your subscription’s automatic renewal.
6. A confirmation pop-up will appear on your screen. Click Confirm Your Cancelation to confirm your action.

This will successfully end your paid Zoom membership. Also, check your inbox for an email about the same. 

It’s worth noting that canceling your Zoom subscription will also make all your cloud recordings inaccessible. They will also get permanently deleted 30 days after cancellation. So save your Zoom recordings before canceling the subscription.

You can change your Zoom name even after canceling your subscription.

How to Cancel Your Zoom Subscription on Android
