Sharing video with Zoom

One of the limitations of Zoom as a video host is that it does not support embedding your video into other sites. There are two ways for you to share recordings in Zoom:

1. Share a direct link to the Zoom video page

2. Download the video so you can re-upload it to as more fully featured video platform like NYU Stream or YouTube.

If you've used Zoom's Brightspace integration in the past to record class sessions, this will work a little differently. Recordings you've made on your own won't automatically appear in Brightspace. You'll need to get the link to the video on your own.

Linking to videos

One counter-intuitive element of using Zoom is that you won't find every setting you need in the same place.

1. You will join calls and make recordings with the Zoom Desktop Client-- the piece of software you install on your computer.

2. You will access recordings and change some settings at the Zoom Web Portal on nyu.zoom.us.

Rehosting videos

If you want to embed the video directly in a course site, you'll need to first download your recording from Zoom to your computer. Once you have a local version of the file, you can re-upload it to the service of your choice.
