Zoom recordings can be saved by users for on-demand delivery at a later date. This is a very popular feature in Zoom, with Zoom Free users able to record meetings locally (to their internal PC hard drive) and Zoom Pro users able to create cloud recordings. Unfortunately, Zoom cloud storage is limited, so the preferred method to deliver recorded content to students is to add the recordings to the Kaltura within P.L.A.T.O. Here's a step-by-step walk-through of that process:
Part 1: Locate your recorded files
For Zoom Free users recording locally:
First, navigate to the location where Zoom stores local recordings. By default, on a Windows computer this is C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\Zoom.
On a Mac it's Users/[your user name]/Documents/Zoom.
Once you've navigated there, you'll see a list of folders, each of which should correspond to a meeting date. Open the folder of the meeting that you'd like to transfer, and inside you'll see multiple files. The one you're looking for is the .mp4 file extension (e.g. zoom_0.mp4).
For Zoom Pro users recording to the cloud:
Open a browser window (e.g. Chrome), navigate to https://zoom.us/, and sign into your Zoom Pro user account:
Once you're logged in, select the 'Recordings' tab in the left-hand navigation area:
From there, you'll want to click on the 'Files' link for the recording that you'd like to transfer:
That will open up the recorded files view for that meeting. From there, you'll need to select the 'Download' option to move the files to your local PC.
You can save the files wherever you choose, just make sure that you remember where you put them. At this point, you have your files stored locally and can upload the video to Kaltura.
