How can I migrate teaching-related Zoom recordings?

The following steps and guides will take you through migrating your teaching-related Zoom recordings off Zoom and onto other platforms.

NOTE: Video recordings of prior class sessions in which students, guest lecturers, or others appear should not be shared without their express permission.

See: Tufts University Privacy Statements & Terms of Use

Step 1 - Login into your Tufts Zoom account and review your Zoom recordings

  1. Log into https://tufts.zoom.us with your Tufts credentials.
  2. Click "Recordings" to see a list of your recordings in reverse chronological order.
  3. Click the title of any recording to see more information about it.
  4. Export a list of all your Zoom cloud recordings to see more data including how often and how recently they've been viewed.

    See: Managing cloud recordings, scroll down to "How to export a list of cloud recordings"

Step 2 - Download recordings you wish to migrate

See: How do I download a Zoom recording?

Step 3 - Upload the recordings to other platforms

Canvas Users: If you will be referencing or using Zoom recordings for teaching you can upload them to Canvas My Media, which is your personal library of recordings in Canvas.

See: How do I upload a video to My Media in Canvas?

Echo360 Users: If you are already an Echo360 user you can upload recordings to your Echo360 Library which is your personal collection of recordings.

See: How do I upload media to Echo360?

For Storage: If you want to store the recordings without sharing or streaming them, download them, then upload them to Box.

See: Downloading and Uploading to Box

For Transferring: If you want to transfer Zoom recordings to someone else, download them, then upload them to Box as described above, then transfer "ownership" of the Box folder to that person.

See: Transferring Ownership of Box Content

REMINDER: When you upload videos to Canvas My Media or to the Echo360 library, you are the only person who can view them.

If, however, you share videos to a Canvas course site via the Canvas Media Gallery, or using other Canvas tools, course participants will be able to view them.

Once you've uploaded a video to the Canvas My Media (the private video library of your Canvas account), it is possible to edit the recording to remove footage of students and others.

See: How do I edit a video uploaded or recorded with My Media?

Step 4 - Publish a recording to a Canvas course site

Once you've uploaded recordings to Canvas My Media you can publish them to a Canvas course site (if it's appropriate to do so).

See: How do I publish a video from My Media to a course site's Media Gallery?
