How can I record with Zoom?

Zoom meetings can be recorded while they are in progress. Although the entire meeting can be recorded, we recommend recording only the needed sections, as there are limitations on how much recorded video you can store in a Tufts Zoom account.

Follow these instructions to record during a Zoom meeting —

Once you have the Zoom meeting running, click "Record" to start recording

Choose "Record to the Cloud"

There will be an audio announcement to participants in the meeting that "This meeting is being recorded".

When done recording, click "Stop" to stop recording

Choose "Stop recording"

There will be an audio announcement in the meeting that "The recording has stopped".

Your recording will be saved to https://tufts.zoom.us/recording

NOTE: Zoom meetings that you had scheduled in the Canvas-Zoom dashboard, and that you have recorded to the cloud, will be listed in the dashboard under "Cloud Recordings".

You'll get an email when your recording is ready, Copy the share link or click the share button if you need to adjust the sharing settings for your recording

To adjust the sharing settings on your recording, click the settings icon

Select sharing options as needed

For example, you can:

  • Add a passcode to view the recording
  • Require students to sign in with SSO to view the recording
  • Enable or disable the option for students to download a copy

Click the "Copy shareable link" to copy link to your clipboard. Paste where you want to share

You can also download your recording to your computer and upload it to Canvas My Media / Media Gallery to share with students.

NOTE: we recommend this option, as you have unlimited storage for video in Canvas My Media and Media Gallery
