Zoom staff guide

Zoom is one of City's Virtual Classrooms. This guide will help you to activate your City Zoom account and get your Zoom live sessions set up for teaching.

Manage a Zoom recording

Once your meeting has finished processing, you will receive an email to your City email account with a link to the recording and a link to share the recording. Your recordings are also accessible via the Zoom web portal https://city.ac.uk/zoom 

Recordings will only be available to the host of the meeting. If you were not the host, you will need to contact the person who set up the meeting in order to access the recording(s).

Zoom recordings are available via the Zoom portal for 24 months. To provide a more integrated experience for students and to edit your recording, you must download the recording from Zoom and upload it to MediaSpace or Echo360 and then share it to students via Moodle. If you leave the university your Zoom account will be removed and all recordings deleted. Line managers can log a request on IT Self Service Portal to get Zoom recordings transferred from staff leavers.

  • If you have uploaded the recording to MediaSpace (further guidance here), you can share the recording as a Video Resource on Moodle.
  • If you have integrated Zoom with your Echo360 account (further guidance here), you can share the recording as a Lecture Capture activity on Moodle.
