Record a Zoom Meeting

To start a recording during a Zoom meeting, click the Record button on the bottom of the screen.

It will ask you if you want to record on the computer or record on the Cloud. Recording on the computer will save an MP4 file on your computer while saving on the Cloud will send it to your Canvas account and your account at zoom.usu.edu. Saving to the Cloud is the preferred method for easy sharing.

Once the recording has started, you have the option to pause or stop the recording from the button at the bottom. The recording will be generated after the meeting ends.

Note: Cloud recordings are only available for 180 days. However, all Zoom recordings are backed up into your My Media account on Canvas.

Record a Breakout Room

Instructors may assign students to record their breakout groups. In order to record, you have to have the Zoom application installed on your computer and your instructor will need to designate you as a co-host. To start the recording, click the Record icon at the bottom of the Zoom call and choose Record to the Cloud. The recording will capture whichever breakout room you are in. Remember to stop the recording using the same button once you’re finished.

Record a Group Presentation

If a group presentation needs recorded, create a meeting and share the meeting link with your group members. Make sure to decide which layout you would like your recording in and make the necessary setting adjustments before starting the call.
