Zoom: Automatically Record All Meetings

Overview

To automatically record a LiveOnline@UT (Zoom) session, please review the options below. The instructions below will assist with setting a default for every Zoom session, or, choosing an option for one session (recurring or individual).

Also, if you choose to automatically record your session, you may also wish to remove the option to allow participants to join before host. Otherwise, if a student enters the meeting early to test their setup, or if students meet in the Zoom room outside of class hours, Zoom will record this as a new file, and you'll have extra cloud recordings to manage.
