Please Note: Cloud Recordings are automatically deleted after 180 days. You will need to download them locally before they are automatically deleted if you wish to retain a copy. Zoom will send you a reminder email before the deletion occurs.

When Cloud Recording Access Expires

Cloud Recording access will automatically expire based on the access end date set by your school/division. Before your access ends, you should download all of your recordings locally to your machine. See below for instructions on uploading the recordings to Panopto.

Please Note: Your cloud recordings will continue to remain in the Blue Jays Student instance once your access has expired. However, if you need to view or download the recordings after access expiration, you will need to re-request access from your school/division.

Uploading Cloud Recordings to Panopto
