Overview

To manually upload a Zoom recording to your Panopto folder, please follow the steps below:

  1. Please locate your Zoom recording on your computer. The default destination should be ‘C\Users\[Username]\Documents\Zoom’ for Windows, while for Mac is ‘/Users/[Username]/Documents/Zoom’. If you are unsure about the name or the location of the folder, then please follow the steps below:
    • Please open your Zoom application and navigate to the ‘Meetings’ menu.

  • Once you are there, please swap from the ‘Upcoming’ tab to the ‘Recorded’ tab where you will see a list of the recently recorded meetings. Please select the one you wish to upload to your Panopto – if you click on the ‘Open’ button, then the folder would be opened on your machine.

Please note that there will be a number of files, including text files from the chat and others you do not need. The one you want is the largest file with an .MP4 extension.

For more information about the process, please read the following Zoom help material.

  1. Once you located your Zoom recording, please open a browser and navigate to the Panopto Cloud. Please note that you will need to log in using the ‘Single Sign-On’ option.
