Zoom - How to Record

Notes

• Zoom can record the Host's meeting. Simply hit the record button during your meeting, then hit the stop button when finished. When you end the meeting, Zoom will close and then render the meeting for you as an MP4 file that can be saved and uploaded to ELC.

• Recordings are our recommended way to deliver content to courses. In a live meeting, as participants join, bandwidth limitations can make moderating the meeting very difficult and distracting. Viewing a video requires less bandwidth, can be done a the user's convenience, and gives the host multiple opportunities to produce a product they are comfortable with before sharing.
