🎥 Making Zoom recordings available to students.
Modified on: Tue, Mar 4 2025 11:53 AMEasily share your recordings through Modules or Zoom Meetings in Canvas. We recommend recording directly using the Zoom Meetings tool for seamless integration.
Make recordings available to students from Zoom Meetings.
- If you course copy, these do not appear in your new course.
Create your Zoom meeting within Zoom Meetings in your Canvas course. When you end the meeting Zoom will start uploading your recording to their website to store it and create closed captions and transcripts. After this is done, a link to the recording will automatically appear within Zoom Meetings under the Cloud Recordings tab for students. Simply direct students to click the Cloud Recordings tab within the tool (see below).
Zoom Meetings in Canvas includes a spot to locate recording for that semester.
Make recordings available to students from Modules.
- These will appear in modules if you preform a course copy.
- Zoom recordings expire 2 years after the recording date.

Additionally, you will receive an email with a share link in your Bristol email once this process is done. Go to your email and copy the share link provided.
Next, go to your course's Modules and locate your preferred module for the video. Click the module's + button in the upper right corner.
Next, click the drop down menu that initially says Assignment and choose External URL.
Complete the following 4 steps:
- In the Url: box paste the url you copied earlier from your Zoom email.
- In the Page Name box write a name that describes what the video is about.
- Uncheck Load in a new tab.
- Hit the submit button.
The video will now show up at the bottom of your module. For example, I added a video called, "Watch Biodiversity in New England Video". Optionally, you can reorder it to a different spot at this time.
