How?
Zoom gives you the ability to record your session. When you're in a Zoom session, look at the bar at the bottom of the screen, you'll find a Record button (if you are the meeting host, or if the host has enabled the button for you.)
"Record to the Cloud" vs "Record to computer": CHOOSE "RECORD TO COMPUTER"
When you click the Record button, you will be presented with a choice. Please choose Record to your computer and not the Cloud... whenever possible. Zoom's Cloud is convenient, and there are definitely times to do this, but Whitman has only a very limited amount of storage there, and it is unlikely we will be getting more at this time. Once you've made your recording, you can upload it to Google Drive or other places to share with your students. You should also be aware that recordings you save to Zoom's Cloud will be automatically deleted after 30 days.
Get permission to record
if you choose to record lectures or classes while engaged in synchronous lecturing or teaching, or if you are otherwise conducting a Zoom meeting with other people, you may do so as long as you make a statement, up-front, that the class or meeting is being recorded. Subsequent to this statement, an instructor/meeting leader can assume that any participant who chooses to converse during a class/meeting is aware that the session is being recorded. You may then use a Google Drive folder to store recordings and allow the “share” settings to block viewers from downloading files. Instructions can be found by accessing Stop, Limit or Change Sharing in Google. Instructors can also add a URL link in Canvas or use Canvas’ Google Drive integration (learn more about sharing files in Canvas). These practices are consistent with Washington State privacy laws pertaining to in-class recordings - you may contact Antonia Keithahn (keithaam@whitman.edu) if you have any questions.
Q & A
Q: Wait, I've already got recordings in Zoom's Cloud. How do I get them out?
A: When you make a recording to Zoom's Cloud, Zoom will automatically send you an email with a link to it. Clicking on that link will take you to a Zoom webpage, and you will see a "download" button there. If you've lost that email, or just need to access all your recordings, sign on to Zoom through a web browser (whitman.zoom.us) and on the left side of the page click "Recordings." Each item on the list that appears will have a "More" button, which in turn will give you an option to download.
Q: If I record to my computer, do I still get transcript files along with the recording?
A: Yes.
