This guide explains how to use cloud recording for Zoom meetings. When using cloud recording, your recorded videos are now stored on the Panopto video hosting service. These instructions explain how to access and share these videos with your students and others.

Instructions for Recording Class Meetings

Create a course folder in Panopto

  1. Go to your course in Canvas.

  2. Select the “Course Videos (Panopto)” link in your course navigation menu.

  3. Wait a moment until Panopto loads (see the image below for an example). This will create a folder for storing your cloud recordings for this course. You must do this first before using cloud recording for any course.

Schedule the course Zoom meetings in Canvas

  1. Use the Zoom link in your Canvas course navigation menu to schedule your meeting(s).

You must use the Zoom link in your Canvas course to schedule your Zoom meeting. If you scheduled your course Zoom meeting at the Zoom website or using Google Calendar, we recommend deleting the meeting and scheduling a new recurring meeting using the Zoom link in your Canvas course.

If you are teaching the same course multiple times, you must follow these instructions for each course separately. Do not use the same Zoom links in multiple courses.

Record Your Meeting(s)

  1. During your Zoom Meeting, use the “Record” button and choose “Record to the Cloud.”

     

When setting up your meeting, we do not recommend using the option to automatically record meetings, as this often results in unintended recordings anytime someone clicks the meeting link. Instead, we recommend creating a reminder note and placing it near your computer to help you remember to press the record button.

Locate your Zoom Meeting Recordings

  1. You and your students can find cloud recordings by going to the "Panopto (Course Videos)" link in the Canvas course.

  • It can take several hours for cloud recordings to show up.

  • The Zoom meeting chat will show up as a "discussion" in Panopto

  • The meeting will be machine-transcribed and captions will show up in the recording on Panopto.

Optional: Share Panopto Videos

  1. Choose the "share" option. You can then decide who the file should be shared with.

  1. If you need to share the video widely with many people at NCSSM, we recommend setting the share permission so that "Anyone at your organization with the link" can view. You can then copy the URL and share it with anyone at NCSSM.

Sharing to external users

Panopto makes it easy to share videos with people without NCSSM accounts.
