What are my recording and storage options for Zoom meetings and webinars?

You have two options for recording your meetings or webinars in Zoom:

• Local recording, which allows participants to record the meeting video and audio locally to a computer. The recorded files can be uploaded to a file storage service like Google Drive, or a streaming service like YouTube or Vimeo.
• Cloud recording, which allows participants to record the meeting video, audio, and chat text and save in the Zoom cloud temporarily. The recording files can then be downloaded to a computer or streamed from a browser. Note: Accounts with added HIPAA security have this feature disabled and will not be able to record.

Which recording type is best?

• Local recording, is the best option for when you need a persistent copy of your recording as it will save the recording files to your computer. 
• Cloud recording is a good option for when you need only a temporary recording, or would like to take advantage of Zoom’s audio-transcription feature. Note: Due to high storage costs, Zoom Cloud recordings will only be stored for 30 days before they are deleted automatically by Zoom at the conclusion of fall semester 2020. A Zoom to Kaltura integration will be in place for spring semester. More details to come soon.
