Recording a Zoom meeting
As a default, all meetings scheduled through you University Zoom account are automatically recorded.
Only meetings scheduled and recorded through the Zoom activity on the course website in Moodle will go directly to the video server on the course website.
Meetings recorded via Zoom outside the course site will not be transferred to the video server and will be stored in the Zoom cloud for up to 14 days.
