Recording to the Zoom cloud
Files stored on the cloud can be accessed through your Panopto account, specifically, they will appear in your meetings folder which is your personal folder.
Please make sure to move the recordings from there to your module folder in order to share it with your students via Moodle. If you do not seem to find your module folder in Panopto, it is because it has not been provisioned yet with your module in the DLE.
Once you move your recordings to the relevant folder, please also make sure you approve each of them individually, otherwise, the students will not be able to access them.
You can also add these recordings as activities to your DLE site.
Recording locally
The locally recorded meetings can only be accessed on the computer that recorded the meeting. However, you will be able to upload them to the relevant module folder in order to share it later with your students.
How to record a Zoom meeting as a student
You also might want your students to work in a group where they would need to complete a presentation sessions that needs to be recorded by one of them which then would need to be submitted to a submission point in Moodle. In this case, Zoom also might be a great alternative tool to be used.
