Scheduling Your Zoom Session in Canvas
To have your Cloud recorded Zoom sessions automatically imported to your course Media Library, first schedule your Zoom session through the Zoom tool in Canvas by selecting "Schedule a New Meeting." If you need to enable Zoom in your Canvas course, you can find a guide here.
Recording Your Session to the Zoom Cloud
Zoom sessions can be set to automatically record the Cloud when your are scheduling the meeting. You can also have the Cloud recording manually started while in the session.
To set your Zoom session to automatically record when it is started, select "Automatically record meeting" in your meeting option settings and ensure "In the cloud" is selected.
Be sure to disable “join before host” to prevent recording students who join the meeting before the host arrives.
To manually begin your session recording, select "Record" once in your session and then select "Record to the Cloud."
Confirming Your Recording has been Imported to Your Media Library
When your recording has finished, it will be processed in Zoom's cloud. Once it has finished processing on Zoom's cloud it will be imported to your Media Library in your Canvas course.
Once it has been imported you will see your session in your Media Library section of your Canvas course. The name on the recording will be the name given to your Zoom session when it was scheduled. Additional details about the meeting recording will be amended in the video description as well.
The length of this process is determined by the duration of your recording and the processing time for both Zoom and Panopto, there may be a delay of up to a few hours between your Zoom recording ending and it being available in your Media Library.
