Zoom Recordings and UNM Canvas

Recordings that feature interactions with students should not be shared using Zoom’s share feature because it creates an unprotected weblink that can be freely distributed, posing a potentially serious threat to student privacy. Instead, link those session recordings inside your UNM Canvas course. To facilitate this practice, UNM Zoom meetings you record to the cloud automatically upload to your (the meeting host’s) Kaltura My Media tool. From My Media, you can edit and securely share recordings with your students. If you are not seeing your Zoom cloud recording in My Media, please refer to Troubleshooting & FAQ - "Missing Recordings." If you would like to share a local Zoom recording, one created by selecting “Record on this computer,” see Manually Upload a Zoom Recording.

Files in My Media are account specific. The files in one person’s My Media list are not visible in the My Media account for another person until they are linked in a course, shared via a discussion post, etc., or collaborators are listed. The instructions below explain how to add a recording from My Media. By default, Zoom cloud recordings are only visible to the meeting scheduler and those listed as an alternative host's My Media.


Share a Zoom Meeting recording in a UNM Canvas Course

Zoom Recordings can be made available to students in two different ways.  One strategy is to create a link for each one.  This option creates a thumbnail of the video, lets you add comments, give it a context-specific title, and arrange it as a specific line item on a content page or in a module.  The other strategy is to offer them all in one place by using a tool called the Media Gallery. The Media Gallery is designed as a central repository for video content you wish to share with your class.
