ZOOM AS A RECORDING TOOL

You can use Zoom solely as a recording tool without enabling online participation. You have two options:

1. Using the Zoom Portal or Zoom App

Initiate a meeting in Zoom, choose to "Record the meeting automatically in the cloud" to record your voice and/or webcam and/or computer screen.

Once the video has been recorded and processed, trim the zoom recording if you'd like to take out extraneous content at the beginning or end. When ready, you'll be able to share the recording.

If you are faculty you can post it in Canvas by going to Recordings in Zoom to download the file then in Canvas create an assignment and on the right-hand side of the screen choose "Files" and "upload" to load the recording to Canvas.

2. Using Zoom in Canvas

If you are faculty in Canvas initiate a zoom meeting, record it, and the students in your course will automatically be able to find the recordings without you having to post them.

RECORDING WITH QUICKTIME FOR MAC COMPUTERS

If you are using a mac computer, the QuickTime application is highly recommended for screen and presentation capture. The Quicktime application comes installed automatically with mac computers.

Quciktime will record videos to a .mov format by default, but can also be converted to a .mp4 file using Quicktime.
