Preserving your Zoom Videos

Please help us stay within our storage allowance by reviewing your Zoom Cloud Recordings regularly.

Here are some tips and suggestions that you may find helpful.

Decide

Decide which recordings you need to keep long term. Review all recordings in your Zoom accountLinks to an external site. and determine which need to be used again or saved, and which can be discarded.

Consider removing:

• Recordings used to help develop notes for a meeting
• Single use office hours or zoom meetings from prior semesters
  • We recommend deleting all prior to the previous semester.

Download

Download the recordings you need to keep. Manage the recordings you decided to use again or save by downloading them locally to your desktop; then move them to a different storage repository for later access.

Repository possibilities:

• OneDrive
• YouTube
• Studio (recommend 20 min. or less videos)
• Your computer (archive inactive videos)

Delete

Delete recordings you no longer need from you Zoom account, along with all those that you downloaded to your desktop. Make a habit of doing this regularly.
