The PennZoom service includes access to Zoom Cloud Recording, which allows PennZoom users the ability to record meetings and store recordings and transcripts in Zoom's cloud. PennZoom stores these recordings for 120 days, after which time they will be deleted. For this reason, PennZoom users should download and store their recordings outside of Zoom's cloud.
PennZoom Recording Automatic Delete Policy
- Any recordings in Zoom's cloud will be deleted once it is older than 120 days.
- Deleted recordings will be moved to the trash bin, where they will be held for retrieval for an additional 30 days.
- PennZoom users will be notified via email 7 days before a recording is removed from the trash bin permanently.
- Instructions on recovering a deleted recording from your trash bin can be found here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/216378863-Recover-a-Deleted-Cl...
- All recordings that need to be maintained for longer than 120 days should be stored outside of Zoom's cloud.
Storage Alternatives
- PennZoom classroom recordings initiated from within Canvas will continue to automatically be moved into Panopto for long-term storage.
- Classroom recordings initiated directly from Zoom can be manually imported into Panopto for long-term storage.
