Access temporary Spring 2021
Faculty and staff may record Zoom sessions, and save the recording either to the local computer or in the Zoom Cloud. Storage in the Zoom Cloud is not unlimited and needs to be periodically cleaned up to make room for additional recordings.
Technology Services has downloaded Spring 2021 semester Zoom recordings on your behalf.
This article describes how you can request access to this temporary download folder in order to save the recordings and archive them to an external hard drive or to your Google My Drive, or upload one to Panopto for streaming.
IMPORTANT: The Spring 2021 temporary Zoom recording downloads will be removed on August 15, 2021, and will be unrecoverable after that time.
Be sure to request access to them and save them in a different location if you need to retain them.
