Those who use Zoom for web conferencing, meetings and courses frequently make recordings of their online sessions. Canisius’ Zoom license includes plenty of room to house these recordings online but there is a limit to the total storage for all users. This January, the Zoom administrators at Canisius will begin deleting videos that were recorded before the fall 2018 semester. In most cases, videos still stored in Zoom accounts are no longer in use or haven’t been viewed anytime recently. If you have videos stored at Zoom that you continue to use in coursework or administrative work, please download and transfer them to your Canisius Google Drive by January 7, 2019.
For further information about Zoom video recordings and using videos hosted in Google Drive, contact the Center for Online Learning & Innovation.
