Recording with Zoom can be very useful both for recordings of both meetings and lectures.

Consent for Recording

It is most important that all participants in a meeting first give their consent to be recorded via the Zoom recording function. This consent must also be restated at the beginning of the recording. Before recording begins, politely ask participants if they consent to the recording of the meeting, and explain that this consent, if given, must therefore be recorded at the beginning of the meeting. After the recording has begun, you can then reaffirm the consent for each participant without any confusion. If a participant does not want to be recorded, but would still like to participate in the meeting, this participant is able to attend, but with their camera and microphone turned off.

Recording

To use the recording function simply press the Record button, located third to the right on the Zoom toolbar at the bottom of your meeting screen.

The Record function records your active Zoom window. If you would like to record, for example, a Powerpoint presentation as well, then you will need to share this using the Share Screen feature on Zoom.

During the meeting, you can pause and start the your recording as needed. Keep in mind, if you use Break-out rooms, your main meeting room will be empty, and this is the room being recorded. It is therefore advisable to pause your recording while you are using the Break-out room feature. When you have finished recording your meeting, the video file of your meeting will be saved locally on your computer.

Uploading your Video to Canvas via Studio

You can publish your recording using Studio, Canvas' own tool for creating, uploading, sharing and managing video content. To do so, you will first need to log in to Canvas. Please note that to upload your recording you must have teacher privileges on at least one course. Contact canvas@education.lu.se if you need help getting started.

Click on Studio in the green left hand navigation menu once you have opened Canvas, and you will be able to access your video library.

Click on the Add button in the top right hand corner and upload your recording. The recording, when uploaded to the library here is completely private and cannot be seen by other students or staff until you have chosen to publish or share it, but it is now uploaded onto the site, and ready to be shared!
