Once a recording has been stopped and a session has ended the video recording will be encoded automatically and made available via Moodle. It usually takes approximately double the length of the session for the recording to be made available.
Accessing a recording
- Navigate to the relevant Moodle course and locate the Collaborate activity;
- Click the Collaborate activity to open it and you should find the recording listed (see image 1). Note that if you have a session available for the duration of a course there may be multiple recordings available. These can be deleted by clicking the X in line with each.
Playing a recording
- Click the title of a recording to open it in a new browser tab;
- The Collaborate panel on the right will show the history of any text chat messages for the recording (if used; image 2);
- The Session Menu on the top left gives the option to download the recording in MP4 format (image 3);
- A captions file (.vtt format) is also accessible via this location and can be used for video subtitling. Note that captions would only be available if a captioner role was used in the session and they were updating captions as it progressed.
Zoom meetings can be recorded.
When a recording is started by the Host, participants will be notified and can choose to accept or leave the session.
UCL ISD is currently investigating integrating Zoom with Lecturecast so that Zoom recordings are automatically made available in Lecturecast. This is not currently available so recordings will need to be shared manually by the Host.
Uploading Zoom recordings to Lecturecast
Digital Education recommends adding Zoom webinar recordings to Lecturecast so that recordings can be kept in the one place for students to access, and to take advantage of Lecturecast's viewer analytics and automatic captions.
Digital Education recommends recording the Zoom session locally. Once the meeting is complete, Zoom will create the recording file and open it on your computer. If you can't find the local recording file see Zoom's guidance on local recordings.
Once you have the recording file, simply upload the video file to Lecturecast, as demonstrated in the following video:
