Recording to the Zoom Cloud
Licensed Zoom users can choose to record their Zoom meetings to the Zoom cloud. Not only does this eliminate the conversion time after the meeting has ended and save hard drive space on your computer, but all Zoom Cloud meetings are automatically transferred to the Panopto video storage library in the background. With your videos stored in Panopto, you can share the videos via the sharing link or embed the videos directly in your Moodle course shell. For more information on how to record to the Zoom cloud and share your videos with the link or in Moodle, click on the links below.
Recording to the Zoom Cloud
To record to the Zoom cloud from within a Zoom meeting, click on the Record button located at the bottom of the Zoom window, then choose Record to the cloud.
If you don’t want to have to worry about remembering to click record during the meeting, you can choose Automatically record the meeting and then In the cloud from the Advanced Options of the meeting setup menu.
