Has your instructor asked you (or a group you are a part of) to record and share a presentation? Zoom is a great resource to use!

You will be able to use the share screen feature within the Zoom meeting to display and record any visuals created or required for the presentation. Once you (or your group) have finished recording your presentation in Zoom, you can share that recording with your class or instructor in D2L. 

Recording and Sharing a Presentation by yourself

1. First, create and finalize your presentation materials.

   • If using PowerPoint, check our student support for creating presentations in PowerPoint.
   • Based on the assignment or activity directions, this part may require certain visuals, content, and formatting. 

2. Then, use your Personal Room in Zoom to record yourself

   • Click for directions on accessing your Personal Room in Zoom

     Entering your Personal Meeting Room in Zoom

     Your Personal Meeting Room is a virtual meeting room permanently reserved for you. A Personal Meeting Room is ideal for use with people you meet with regularly or if you want to create an individual video media recording. However, because it is always accessible with the same meeting ID and personal Zoom link, it should not be used for back-to-back meetings or people you do not meet with regularly. There are multiple ways to access your Personal Meeting Room:

     How long will my recordings remain available in the Zoom cloud?

     Zoom will automatically delete each of your cloud recordings and the associated files after 90 days from the date of recording and send them to the trash.

     Where does my deleted cloud recording go after it is sent to the trash?

     When a Zoom cloud recording is deleted and moved to the Zoom cloud trash it will remain there for 30 days. You may recover a deleted recording from the trash any time before the 30-day period elapses. Seven (7) days before it permanently deletes a recording from the trash, Zoom will email you a warning message. Zoom will automatically delete each of your cloud recordings and the associated files after 90 days. After 30 days in the trash, Zoom will delete a cloud recording permanently. Once permanently deleted from the trash, a recording cannot be recovered.
