Record a Zoom session

For staff on how to record a Zoom session

This page explains how you can record a lecture (or other Zoom sessions) to the cloud using the University of Waikato's Zoom account, and make it available to students via the Panopto block in Moodle papers. 

  • You can also record a Zoom session to your own device, and Upload it to Panopto

  • You can move or share the Zoom session recordings once they are in Panopto. 

  • You can also add the video to any section of your Moodle paper with the new Panopto Video resource

Log in as a Host

  • Only the Host can record and give other participants permission to record. To ensure that you log in with your hosting privileges and any other settings associated with your staff profile, log in to Zoom before you start a session.

  • Students and other paper participants who need Alternative host privileges also need to log into their university Zoom account.

  • External presenters can only be added as Co-hosts during a meeting. See Alternative hosts.

    Note: Recordings can take a while to process. You should receive a confirmation email when processing is completed.

If you have set up and recorded a session on behalf of a guest lecturer, it will save to your own My Folder as normal.

If you have recorded to your own device, you can upload the Zoom recording to Panopto.

If you have recorded to a lecture room computer by mistake, the Help Desk should be able to help you recover your recording.
