Learn How to Better Manage and Share Your Zoom Recordings
Due to the popularity of Zoom on campus, Information Technology will soon implement a new retention policy to help ease the load on cloud storage within the tool and help manage the volume of video recordings as a result of the unprecedented high use of the tool among many faculty, staff and students.
When the new auto-delete setting is activated on June 1, a column will appear in users Zoom dashboards, under recordings tab. It will show how many days that recording has until it is moved to the trash. Once the recording has been in the trash for 23 days, the user will get an automated email alert from Zoom, which will notify the user that the recording will be deleted permanently in seven days.
Although the new retention policy will limit the amount of time video recordings can be stored in the platform, Elon faculty, staff and students will still have full access to recordings through Kaltura and Moodle. Both tools offer easy access to a copy of Zoom recordings for easy access, downloading and sharing. In addition, Zoom users may also take advantage of other Microsoft applications, such as OneDrive or Stream to store, organize and share video recordings with internal and external viewers.
