There may be times when you will need to record a classroom session. For example, a student in your class may request special accommodations to be able to view the class meeting at a later time. You may want to share a recording with students who out with an illness. In either instance, it is important to ensure that students are aware that the class session is being recorded. When recording a fully online meeting in Zoom, the system notifies attendees that they are being recorded, and attendees must acknowledge this fact by clicking a button to affirm their understanding. We suggest telling students in advance of the class session, whether for a fully online session, or a hybrid session, that you will be recording, and explain why and how the recording will be used. Some students may be uncomfortable with being recorded. In this case you may arrange for these students to not appear on camera or heard during the recording by working with the School's educational technology team to create a private space for those students to attend without appearing on screen.
You can locate your recordings by opening your NYU Zoom account and then locating the Recordings link in the left sidebar. Once your recording list appears, select the meeting you want to access. Additional options for sharing and downloading videos will be available once you click on the recording you wish to view.
Schedule a Zoom class session using the Zoom scheduler on your Brightspace course site.
Inform students that the session will be recorded at least a day or two ahead of class, and provide opportunities for individual students to raise concerns and workout a plan to address those concerns.
To record a fully online class session:
After starting your Zoom meeting on your device, click the record button on your Zoom control bar to start the recording. Students will hear an alert and receive a pop up message on their screen indicating that the meeting is being recorded. They will need to click a button to participate in the meeting.
You can pause the recording at anytime by clicking a pause button that will appear where the record button was positioned, and then restart the recording when ready. This will give you control if you or students wish for certain parts of the session to remain unrecorded.
Students can hide their profile picture and name to add additional layers of privacy if desired
To record a fully face-to-face or a hybrid class session:
After starting your Zoom meeting, do not join computer audio when prompted. The session audio will be recorded and projected through the Zoom control system installed in the classroom.
Make sure that your laptop or device microphone is muted and your speakers are turned all the way down. Not doing so will result in feedback.
Once you finish the above steps, go to the classroom Zoom control panel (usually positioned near the room screen) and click on the Join button. You will be prompted to enter the meeting i.d. The meeting i.d. can be found in the original meeting information, or by clicking the small green icon on the Zoom screen on your laptop.
After entering the meeting i.d. and clicking Join you will be able to see and hear remote participants who join the meeting from other locations.
You are now ready to record. Click the record button on your computer 's Zoom screen. You should see a visual prompt on the room's Zoom control panel asking you to click a button acknowledging that the session is being recorded.
If necessary, you can turn off the room camera by clicking the camera icon on the Zoom control panel if you would prefer not to videotape students.
If you wish to share materials such as a slide presentation from your computer, click the green Share button on your computer's Zoom screen to initiate the sharing process.
