Recording and sharing Zoom meetings

Learn how to save Zoom meeting recordings to the Zoom Cloud, UB Panopto or your hard drive, and how to share recordings to UB Learns and elsewhere.

Recording a Zoom meeting

Instructions

  1. On the Zoom toolbar click the Record icon
  2. From the pop-up menu, choose either:
    • Record on this Computer - Saves a file in mp4 format in a folder you specify on your computer
    • Record to the Cloud - Saves a file to the Zoom cloud and Panopto* . Both these files are private until you share them. Editing the security settings or any other attributes of one video does not affect the other.

* In order to take advantage of automatic recording to Panopto, you must have logged into your UB Panopto account at least once before starting a Zoom cloud recording. Any new Zoom cloud recordings will then be copied to UB Panopto > My Folder > Meeting Recordings.

A recording will process once the meeting ends. Longer recordings will take longer to process. You will receive a confirmation email when your recordings are ready online.

Zoom cloud recordings auto-delete

Zoom cloud recordings are moved to the trash after 180 days. Recordings remain in the trash for 30 days at which time they are permanently removed. You will receive a warning seven days before your recording is permanently deleted from the trash.

If you set up Panopto as described above, your Panopto video copies will remain intact.

Sharing options

Do not publicly share videos containing restricted or sensitive information.
