Recording and sharing Zoom meetings

1. On the Zoom toolbar click the Record button
2. From the pop-up menu, choose either:
   • Record on this Computer - Saves a file in mp4 format on your computer's hard drive
     
   • Record to the Cloud - Saves a file to the Zoom cloud and Panopto* 
     • Meeting recordings on Zoom and Panopto are private until you share them.
     • Editing the security settings or any other attributes of the recording on one platform does not affect the other

* In order to take advantage of saving Zoom cloud recordings 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.

• Recordings in the cloud save to the host’s Zoom account. Log into the Zoom portal and click Recordings.
  
• Zoom cloud recordings copied to Panopto are saved to the host’s Meeting Recordings folder in Panopto (if they have signed into Panopto at least once). Log into the Zoom portal and click Recordings.
• Local computer recordings are saved on the computer used during the meeting.
  By default, computer recordings are placed in these directories:
  • Windows: C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Zoom
  • Mac: /Users/[Username]/Documents/Zoom
  • Linux: home/[Username]/Documents/Zoom

See finding and viewing local recordings for more details.

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, copies of your Zoom cloud recordings will remain intact in Panopto even after deletion from Zoom.

Do not publicly share videos containing restricted or sensitive information.

Your UB Zoom cloud recordings can be shared to your UB Learns course through Panopto. See Panopto and UB Learns >
