Enabling computer recording

Overview

Learn how to set Zoom to save video recordings and transcripts on computer.

Zoom allows hosts to record meeting content to be stored on the host's computer. While Zoom has the capability of recording directly to their cloud service, the university recommends using OneDrive, Dropbox, or Panopto in Canvas for storage.

Adjusting Zoom settings

In order to ensure that Zoom will record to your computer or device (saving locally), you will need to access your Zoom settings.

1. Go to UO Zoom and select Sign In. Use your Duck ID username to authenticate.
2. Select Settings then select the Recordings tab.
3. Select the toggle icon adjacent to Local Recording to ensure that the setting is turned on:
   1. Choose to Save chat messages from the meeting / webinar
   2. Choose to Save closed caption as a VTT file which will help with ensuring captions are available.
      1. Note: Captions need to be edited for accessibility reasons when you upload the video.
4. Ensure that the Cloud Recording and Allow cloud recording settings are disabled.

This will ensure that you can only record to your computer or device.

When the meeting ends

When the meeting ends, the video files will go a specific folder determined by Zoom:

1. Open the Zoom application
2. Select your user profile avatar icon (in the upper-right corner)
3. Then, choose Settings
4. Select Recording from the options along the left side
5. Your Zoom video folder path will be at the top of that screen. You can edit it to another folder in your file system if you choose.

Uploading video files to other UO cloud services

You can upload video files to UO OneDrive, UO SharePoint and Teams, UO Dropbox, or Panopto in Canvas depending on your purposes for your video content.

• For OneDrive: please refer to the Uploading files to OneDrive article.
• For SharePoint and Teams: please refer to the Uploading files to SharePoint article.
• For Dropbox: please refer to the Uploading files to Dropbox article.
• For Panopto: please refer to How to use Panopto in Canvas from UO Online.
