Zoom - Recording a Meeting

Getting Started

There are two ways to record meetings depending on need.

• Cloud Recording- Best option in most cases
  • Allows for easy sharing of the recorded meeting with others
  • Recording resides in Heifer's Zoom account, no chance of data loss if your computer crashes or is lost.
  • Doesn't take up space on your computer's hard drive.
• Local Recording
  • Allows for editing of recorded meeting
  • Can be easily moved to other video sharing platforms like YouTube or Office 365 Stream.

   Note: If the above recording icons are not visible in the meeting, the conference is not recording.

Viewing Cloud Recordings:

2. Click the meeting Topic to display the available file types of the recorded data, based on the settings you have enabled:
3. Click a file to play the recording or see the text of the chat. You can also download a file to your computer, share a link of the recording with others, or delete a file. 
4. (Optional) If you want to trim the recording of a shared video so that it starts and ends at the times you specify, you can set a playback range. See Cloud Recording Playback for details.
