Overview
As of 3/23/2022, all new Zoom cloud recordings are automatically transferred to DU MediaSpace. Zoom recording prior to 3/23/2022 are still hosted on the DU Zoom Cloud website.
These steps will help you transfer your older ZOOM recordings to Kaltura (DU MediaSpace or Canvas My Media). Here are some reasons why this is important:
- Avoid Zoom auto system deletion. Content older than 2 years will be deleted after July 5, 2022.
- Once in Kaltura, you can share them via a Canvas course or outside of Canvas.
- Kaltura offers robust management, sharing, cataloging and analytics.
Step 1: How to download Zoom cloud recordings
Go to the DU ZOOM portal (https://udenver.zoom.us) and log in using your DU email and password.
Go to Recordings and click on the ZOOM meeting you wish to download.
Click the Download button to start the download process. Take note of where you are saving the files. By default, downloads are saved in your downloads folders on your computer. Save the “Record active speaker with shared screen” version.
Step 2: How to upload recordings into Canvas My Media
Go to your Canvas course and click on My Media. All content in My Media is private to the person that is logged into Canvas.
Note: Once you have copied your ZOOM videos to Kaltura, you can delete your ZOOM recordings.
Step 3: Sharing media via Canvas
There are two methods for sharing Kaltura media within Canvas.
1. On a Canvas page or discussion post
2. Canvas Media Gallery
Not using Canvas? No problem, upload video to your DU MediaSpace
If you wish to save and publish your video outside of Canvas, visit DU MediaSpace. Login using your DU email and password and click Add New – > Media Upload.
After uploading your video, you can share it in a number of ways. To learn how to share your video via DU MediaSpace, please visit: Kaltura DU MediaSpace – Adding, Sharing & Deleting Media
Bulk transfer Zoom recordings
If you need assistance with bulk transferring Zoom recordings over to DU MediaSpace, please contact KalturaAdmin@du.edu . The process for bulk transfer requires cooperation from the Zoom owner of the recordings. This is the process:
- The Zoom owner needs to rename each recording that needs to be saved. A good naming convention will help you find specific recordings later in DU MediaSpace. For example, “Bill Jackson’s Personal Meeting” should be renamed to “Sustainability Committee Meeting April 2022 – SAVE”.
- If you want to organize your videos by course number, pre-append your course number to your recording like “Forensic Accounting Week 1 – SAVE”.
- Contact KalturaAdmin@du.edu once you are done renaming your recordings.
- Our Kaltura Admin team will then import all your marked recordings with the word SAVE into your My Media account.
