If you are using a full Zoom license, this allows you to record your meeting to the cloud or to your local computer. In your Zoom meeting, click the record button: you will then see the option to Record on this computer or Record to the Cloud. By default, the recording will capture the active speaker and any screen sharing . If you save the file to your local computer, you will have to manually distribute these files to students using a different tool like OneDrive or Panopto.
Zoom cloud recordings will stay in the cloud for 30 days, at which point they will be sent to the trash. They will remain in the trash for 30 days and will then be permanently deleted.
Zoom recordings can be accessed in two ways:
- If the recording was a Canvas course meeting, you can find it in the course Zoom area under the Cloud Recordings tab. Click the name of the meeting recording you wish to view. Usually two files are listed: a full recording and an audio-only recording. Recordings are password protected by default, clicking the play button should give you a message that the passcode has been copied to your clipboard, a new window will open, paste the passcode into the field and click Watch Recording.
- You can sign into https://stonehill.zoom.us and select the Recordings option from the left-hand menu. This will show you all cloud recordings whether they are a Canvas course or not. Click the name of the recording to access more options. You can watch, download, and share the recording from this page.
