Managing Zoom Cloud Recordings

Enabling Zoom Cloud Recordings

To enable cloud recording for individual meetings, be sure to check ‘Automatically record meeting’ and ‘In the cloud’ in the Advanced Options when setting up your meeting(s).

To enable cloud recordings on an account level as the default behavior for future meetings, you’ll want to enable automatic cloud recordings. To do so, sign into the Zoom web portal, navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab and locate ‘Recording’. Next, locate ‘Automatic recording’ and click on the button on the right to enable it. Be sure to select ‘Record in the cloud’. Additional details and instructions are available on the Zoom Cloud Recording page.

Deleting Zoom Cloud Recordings
 

You can delete all cloud recordings in your account, all recordings in search results, or recordings for a specific meeting. This will move the files to the trash and you can permanently delete them from the trash manually. If you don't permanently delete them manually, they will be deleted after 30 days.

All Zoom Cloud Recordings are automatically saved in Kaltura. When you choose to record your Zoom meeting to the cloud it will record in Zoom and Kaltura. If you remove your Cloud Recording in Zoom it will not remove it from Kaltura.
 

1. Sign in to your Zoom web portal.
    
2. In the navigation menu, click Recordings. You will see a list of your cloud recordings.
   
   
3. By default all your meetings prior to today's date will show. Locate the meeting you would like to delete and choose the More button. There you can select Delete.
   
   
   
   
   
4. To delete recordings from the trash permanently, go to My Recordings > Trash. Empty trash will delete ALL recordings while the Delete next to the individual recording will only delete that singular file.
   
   
   
   Recordings that have been permanently deleted CANNOT be recovered.

1. Login to your Zoom account and navigate to the Recordings tab.
    
2. If there are any cloud recordings in the trash, you will see a Trash link in the top right. Click this link to see any deleted cloud recordings within the past 30 days. 
   
   
   
   
   
3. To recover the recording, click the Recover link on the right.
   
   
   
   
4. Click Recover again to confirm.
