The following information details how to download an existing Zoom recording and upload it to your Panopto instance for a separate course or new semester. Currently, making use of Panopto is the best way to provide Zoom recordings across multiple courses or semesters.

Downloading Your Zoom Recording

Due to restrictions in place to prevent students from directly downloading class recordings, Zoom cloud recordings must be downloaded from the Zoom web portal at https://utexas.zoom.us/.

To do so:

1. Log in at https://utexas.zoom.us/ using your UT EID and password by clicking "Sign In"
    
   1. You may also be prompted to complete multi-factor authentication 
2. From the left-hand options, click "Recordings"
   

3. From the listed recordings, select your desired class session

   

   If you have very many Cloud Recordings, you can use the Search feature to more easily locate the desired recordings.
   You can search by:

   • ID:  the meeting ID
     • This ID is the same for all occurrences of a recurring meeting, which may help you locate a specific class session
   • Topic: the name of the meeting
   • Keyword: searches for the submitted text
4. From the recording information page, you have the option to download the recorded video, along with separate files for the audio and audio transcript, if you desire
5. To download the recorded video, hover over the "Shared screen with speaker view" item, then click the download icon to begin downloading the recording
   
   
   1. The time to download your recording will vary depending upon the length of the recording and the speed of your internet connection
6. Once the download has completed, you'll be able to use the video file as you see fit.

Uploading Your Zoom Recording to Panopto

Once you have a local copy of your Zoom recordings, you can easily upload them to Panopto. Once in Panopto, they can easily be copied or moved to new courses, in the same or different semesters, as you need.
