Record to the Cloud (Online) in Zoom
- Personal Meeting Room recordings may NOT be automatically uploaded to Drexel Streams (Kaltura).
In that case, see the "Download Recording in Zoom" section below. - When you record a Zoom meeting, you have 2 options.
"Record to the computer"
"Record to the cloud" - We recommend "Record to the Cloud."
Drexel Zoom Pro recordings made to the cloud are backed up to Drexel Streams (Kaltura).
And the recordings are more easily accessible and less likely to be lost in the cloud.
We'll cover how to find/obtain either option here. - Do NOT edit recordings in Zoom.
They are not real edits.
When you download from Zoom, your unedited video will be downloaded, not your edited video.
