Where your recorded class sessions are saved depends on whether you opted to record them to the cloud or to your computer (i.e., locally). If you recorded your Zoom meeting to the cloud, students may be able to watch it within Canvas, or you can copy a sharing link from your account in Miami’s Zoom web portal. However, if you recorded your Zoom meeting locally (i.e., saved it on your computer), you’ll need to search for its video file within your computer’s Documents folder.
Where can I find reports for a Zoom meeting?
Reports for Zoom meetings can be found in both Canvas and our Zoom web portal (miamioh.zoom.us). However, you’ll be able to quickly and easily download a report for a class session held via Zoom while you’re in your Canvas course if your meeting was set up to have a specific date and time.
Where can I find Zoom chat logs and/or meetings I’ve recorded to my computer?
This is a great mystery for all Zoom users—not just Miami ones! When you record class sessions to your computer (instead of to the cloud), Zoom saves them within the “Documents” folder on your computer. In it, you’ll find a folder called “Zoom,” which has a subfolder for each of your Zoom meetings. It also downloads every meeting’s chat log to its meeting folder.
How can I share a recorded Zoom meeting with just a few students?
If you record a Zoom meeting to the cloud, it’ll show up under the Recording tab in the Zoom link in your Canvas course. There’s no way to hide this tab, so if you don’t want students to have access to the recording, you’ll need to instead record the meeting to your computer.
How do I turn off email notifications for Zoom recordings?
Email notifications about cloud recording availability are being sent by Zoom, so you’ll need to turn them off within your Zoom account’s settings.
Can Zoom automatically grade attendance in Canvas?
Unfortunately, there’s no way to integrate Zoom with Canvas Grades. However, you can download an attendance report for each class meeting that shows when students joined and left the meeting and the overall duration of their attendance.
What’s the storage limit for my Canvas course?
All courses are limited to 1G of storage. Typically, you won’t need more space than this if you load all of your media files into Kaltura or YouTube, and narrated PowerPoint files should be added via Voicethread.
Should I create a recurring meeting with no fixed time in Zoom?
While Zoom gives you the option to create a meeting with “no fixed time” when you select the option for a recurring meeting, I advise against this for several reasons: problems with polling, more limited access to reports, and no calendar connection.
Can I assign a TA as a co-host to help manage breakout rooms in Zoom?
Yes! In a December 2020 update, Zoom extended the ability to launch and manage breakout rooms to co-hosts, which is the role that is typically assigned to a TA. This includes assigning students to breakout rooms.
Why can’t students access a Google link that I’ve shared?
This issue is likely related to students not being signed in to their MiamiOH.edu Gmail account in their Chrome browser but a personal one instead. Chrome remembers your last Google sign-in, and it’ll sign you into all new Google apps you launch via a link within it, even if you’re already signed in to your Miami Gmail account in one of your browser tabs.
