Hosts can record their Zoom meetings to their computer or to their Zoom portal. Because the Zoom portal provides a limited amount of storage for all pro licensed accounts, recordings stored in the Zoom portal will be deleted after 60 days.

Where are my Zoom recordings?

  • Recordings saved to the Zoom portal are automatically saved to one’s Kaltura My Media in media.lafayette.edu and Moodle/Spaces where they can be published to the appropriate audiences.
  • Zoom recordings will remain in one’s Zoom portal for 60 days.
  • For more private, long-term storage of Zoom recordings, download them from the Zoom portal and save them to Google Drive.
