How Do I Save and Refer Back to Zoom Recordings?

You are able to save and refer back to your Zoom recordings, if you record live at time of the event. If you'd like to record a Live session, we encourage you to ask participants if they are comfortable being recorded before starting recording.

Please note that Zoom meetings will be configured to automatically record. The recording is for internal purposes. At the facilitator's discretion, on a case-by-case basis, the recording can be shared with other students in a course section if it a particularly useful demonstration (i.e., most often seen in STEM-related courses). However, the baseline is for the recording not to be shared as we would like to encourage live participation.

To begin, when recording in your Zoom account choose to save your session to the Cloud (Select the Record to the Cloud option in Zoom when you start recording).

After you are done recording and end the session, the recording should be available within a few moments (up to 30 minutes or so if it's a long recording). You will receive a notification email to your Outlook Cornell.edu address to let you know when the cloud recording is ready.

PLEASE NOTE: By default, our Zoom recordings are set up to only be visible to those with a Net ID. Therefore, if you'd like to share recordings with students, you will need to follow the below students to create a public link on the Video-on-Demand site.

After the cloud recording is uploaded, it may take a few moments for the video to appear on the VoD site- so don't worry if you don't see it right away.

To access the video in VoD format, please follow these steps:

Navigate to https://vod.video.cornell.edu/my-media.

  1. Login with your Cornell NetID and password pair.
  2. In the My Media list, locate the Zoom recording you want to share, and click the session title to open it for viewing.
  1. Underneath the transcript, to the right, click the Actions drop down menu, and select Publish.
  1. Select Unlisted and click Save. *Please note this step is imperative, if you do not "Unlist" the recordings, they will display as "Access Denied" for anyone attempting to view them outside of Cornell University.
  1. Under the Share tab, copy the recording link. Now, you are able share this link if needed!
