How to Move Zoom Cloud Recordings to OneDrive

The step-by-step instructions provided below will assist you with moving your Zoom cloud recordings to your Broward College OneDrive. There are two parts to the process:

Part 1 – Download the Recordings

Step 1

• Log in to BC One Access
• Type Zoom in the search bar and click on the Zoom tile that appears

 

Step 2

• When the Zoom page opens, select Recordings from the menu listing on the left of the page

 

Step 3

• Identify the recording(s) that you want to keep and click on the 3 dots that are shown on the right of the listing, beside “share”

• Click Download. If you have multiple recordings, they will be downloaded one at a time (keep in mind one recording may have more than one file).
• By default, files will be saved in your “downloads” folder unless you select another folder to save them to.

• If the files are saved to “downloads”, you can locate them by opening File Explorer from your taskbar   and browsing to Downloads (Windows). Open Finder and browse to Downloads (Mac). You will need to create a folder in your OneDrive for the Zoom recordings to be stored (see below).

 

 

 

Part 2 – Saving the Recordings to OneDrive

 

Recordings can be saved to OneDrive either by creating a folder in your OneDrive account from your desktop or by uploading them to your web-based OneDrive account.

 

Creating a Zoom Recording Folder in your OneDrive Account from Your Desktop

Step 4

• Open File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac). Scroll down to your OneDrive – Broward College folder.
• Right click on your OneDrive – Broward College folder and hover your mouse over New

 

• Select Folder

 

• Under your OneDrive folder a box will appear asking you to name the New Folder. Name it Zoom Recordings.

 

Step 5

• To move your Zoom Cloud recordings to from your downloads folder into your new Recordings folder in OneDrive, open your downloads folder

• Right click on the recording files that you will move and select Copy. (You can select multiples files to copy by selecting the first file with your mouse and holding down the shift key and selecting the last file to copy).

Step 6

• Open your Zoom Recordings folder in your OneDrive. Right click in the center of the empty space and select Paste.

 

Step 7

• The file(s) should now appear in your Zoom Recordings folder on your OneDrive.
• Dragging and dropping the files from your Downloads folder to your Zoom Recordings folder is also an option.

 

Step 8

• Once the files have transferred to your Zoom Recordings folder, go to your Zoom Recordings folder, and play one of the recordings to verify that the transfer was successful. You can do this by right clicking on the file and selecting Open or double-clicking the file.
• This will open an audio player application (ex. Windows Media Player, VLC).
• Below is an example of opening a file with VLC media player.

• Select the Play option on your audio player to test if the Zoom Recording is working properly.
• Once you have tested that the transfer was successful, you can begin to delete the recordings from your Zoom portal.
• To delete the recording in Zoom, click on the 3 dots that are shown on the right of the listing, beside “share” (as shown in step 3) and click on delete
