Zoom Recordings on VidGrid

When would you use this?

You can record Zoom Meetings directly to VidGrid then share those recordings within Canvas. Some people at Biola have Zoom accounts connected to Biola's enterprise Zoom account license. In addition, some people have accounts on Biola's VidGrid account. Zoom is a video conferencing platform that allows you to host live video meetings online. VidGrid is a video hosting platform that allows you to upload and publish video content and easily track which students have viewed the content. VidGrid is connected to Canvas in such a way that makes it easy to embed video content on VidGrid directly into Canvas Content Pages.

This page describes how to record a Zoom meeting, save it to VidGrid, then publish that recording on a Canvas Content page.

Summary

To record your Zoom meetings to VidGrid then embed it on Canvas:

1. Use your Biola Zoom account
2. Record the meeting with the "Record to the Cloud"
3. After you end the meeting, your recording will be in your VidGrid account
4. Embed videos on VidGrid into a Canvas page by chosing "VidGrid Embed."

The rest of this document gives more details on each of these steps.

Zoom Account at Biola

You will need an account on Zoom that is connected to Biola's enterprise Zoom account. See the Zoom Licensed Account Announcement for instructions and a link for requesting access. These accounts allow you to host meetings with up to 300 participants and no time limit.

To log in to to your Zoom account, open the Zoom application (which you can download at https://zoom.us/download) and use "Sign In with SSO" (if you are already logged in to a different account, first do "Sign Out" from the top-right menu). Here are the steps:

1. Click "Sign in with SSO"
2. Enter "biola" as the Company Domain
3. Click "Continue"
4. A new window will open, sign in with your Biola Net ID
5. Click "Open Zoom Meeting" (or click "Launch Zoom" if that does not appear)

VidGrid Account at Biola

A few people have accounts on Biola's VidGrid video hosting platform. If you have an account, you can manage and publish your videos on Canvas yourself. If you do not have an account, the Video Production Team at Biola's Office of Digital Learning can help you publish those videos or provide you with an account. Contact Joseph Rubio for more information.

If you have an account, and you want to log in, go to https://www.vidgrid.com/ then:

1. Click "Log In" at the top-right of the page
2. Click "Enterprise login" (Leave the username / password blank)
3. Type your Biola email address in the "username/email" section
4. Click "LOG IN"
5. Log in with your Biola Net ID and password.

Record Your Zoom Meeting

You can start, run, and finish your Zoom meeting as normal. You could even run an empty meeting with no other participants as a way of creating a recording of yourself and/or a presentation for later use.

To record all or a portion of the meeting, click the "Record" button (1) at the bottom of the screen and choose "Record to the Cloud" (2)

When you finish the meeting, the recording will become available in two separate places:

1. Within your Zoom account which you can access by logging in to https://zoom.us/
2. Within your VidGrid account, which you can access by logging in to https://app.vidgrid.com/login/

You can share these recordings from those accounts by getting a link to the recording. Or you can publish the VidGrid recording directly to a Canvas page (next section).

Note: Another option is to use "Record on this Computer" and manage and publish your recording yourself, rather than using VidGrid (for example, by putting it in a Google Drive folder and sharing it there). See Record a Lecture with Zoom for an example of how to do it that way.

Embed VidGrid Video on Canvas Content Pages

To embed any video in your VidGrid account (including a Zoom Recording) into a Canvas Content Page or any place that uses the "Rich Content Editor" (such as Announcements, Discussions, Assignment Descriptions or Quizzes):

1. Click the "More External Tools" icon
2. Click "VidGrid Embed"
3. Find the video in your account, and click on it
4. click the blue check mark to embed the video.
