We do not recommend this as you will not be able to get an automated transcript of the recording. Local recordings are stored on your own computer and can be uploaded later. The Host will always receive any cloud recording irrespective of whoever actually presses the Record button. However, as they were not in the role of Host, recordings will not be stored in their account. An Alternate Host will be able to start a Zoom and let students enter. The role of Alternate Host can be assigned when setting up a session, which can be useful for staff in a teaching team. Go to Account Settings, Zoom Settings and tick the Automatically copy Zoom recording to Echo360 checkbox. You can also store your Zoom recordings automatically in Echo360. Unless using Alternative Hosts, this will be whoever started the meeting. Transferring the role of Host to another participant after the meeting starts and before recording will not change this. Recordings can be stored in the cloud or locally (not recommended).Ĭloud recordings are stored in the Zoom account of whoever held the role of Host at the start of the session. Read more about these definitions and the differences between roles in a Zoom meeting. Starting a recordingĪ Host, Co-Host, or Alternate Host can start recording in a Zoom meeting. Please also read Scheduling live sessionsfor more advice on this.

Your choice of how to administer and schedule your course’s teaching sessions will depend on which staff will need access to the video recording and to the transcript.
