How To Record in Zoom

Recording Event Meetings

GW Law events that are held virtually or hybrid within the Law School can be recorded with Zoom. To record your event with a GW Law Zoom account, you will want to make sure as the host or co-host of the meeting, you have selected the record button once your event is going to begin.

Recording Icons


This icon indicates the meeting is being recorded locally. 


This icon indicates the meeting is being recorded to the cloud. 

All GW Law faculty account Zoom meetings are set to auto-record.  Once the meeting ends, it is sent to the Law School's media server and the host will also receive an email from Zoom when the cloud recording is available to them on their Zoom account. When you end your meeting, simply End the Meeting for all and your recording will be stopped.

If you stop the recording and need to restart it during the same meeting, click the Record button in the menu bar, then select Record to the Cloud.

 

Saving Cloud Recordings

Any Zoom meeting that you've recorded and would like to keep for yourself, you should download and save as soon as possible.

Faculty

All @law faculty Zoom accounts default to cloud recording; this means that any recordings will be saved automatically to the cloud within your Zoom account. No more than a few hours after your meeting you will receive an email notification from Zoom indicating that your Cloud recording is now available.

Saving Local Recordings

Staff & Students

All @law staff and students have licensed Zoom accounts, however, they do not have automatic or cloud recordings enabled. If a meeting is recorded, staff and students must manually download and save the recording from the device. The file will download to a designated folder on the local computer that can be viewed or changed in your Zoom meeting settings.
