As Auburn University continues to utilize Zoom for various educational and administrative purposes, managing our cloud storage efficiently is crucial. This guide is designed to assist you in understanding and adhering to our Zoom storage and retention policies. By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that storage space is available for all users and that your important recordings are preserved appropriately.
In the following sections, you will find detailed instructions on downloading your Zoom recordings, removing unnecessary files from your cloud storage, and adhering to our 6-month retention policy. These practices are essential for maintaining equitable access to storage resources and keeping our system efficient and effective for everyone at Auburn.
Transitioning to Panopto:
To further enhance our video storage and distribution capabilities, Auburn utilizes Panopto, a platform with unlimited storage and advanced features to enrich the learning experience. Panopto allows students to watch recordings at adjustable playback speeds (from .5x to 2x), create time-stamped notes, and access detailed analytics on viewership. Panopto’s adaptive streaming technology also ensures that each student receives the best possible video quality based on their internet connection. This section will guide you through leveraging Panopto for your educational needs, ensuring optimal use of video resources at Auburn.
Restoring Deleted Zoom Sessions
If recordings are moved to the trash, you may restore them within 30 days. However, we still recommend moving them to Panopto for long-term storage.
-
- You will see the trash hyperlink in your Zoom Cloud Recordings if sessions have been deleted.
- Click on your trash hyperlink, and from there, you will have access to the current deleted Zoom sessions.
-
- Next to each session, there will be an option to recover or delete. Click recover, and it will move it back to your cloud recording tab, where you can download and save it to your computer.
Panopto-Zoom Integration
To help make this transition easier, we have rolled out a new integration between Panopto and Zoom! This integration will automatically copy any Zoom recording into a set destination folder within Panopto. You can automatically set your class recordings to be uploaded to the Canvas-Panopto folder.
Uploading Zoom Recordings to Panopto
If you prefer to choose when/what videos are uploaded to Panopto, then you can manually upload each recording to Panopto for long-term access during and after the semester’s end. To do so, log in to your Panopto account. From there you will be able to access the Create drop-down menu upload your Zoom recordings, and organize them by class in your folders section.
Saving Zoom Sessions
If you prefer to have a local copy, you may download any video for storage.
-
- After logging into your Zoom, click Recordings on the left.
- Choose the Cloud Recordings tab, then you can download individual recordings and save them to a different location.
