If you are teaching with a laptop or tablet, recording to the cloud is included with your UofT account, and once completed, you will be sent a link by email.

Please be advised that the University of Toronto’s Zoom Education license has a 120-day retention period for cloud recordings. Zoom recordings will automatically be deleted after 120 days. There are limitations to the amount of videos you can store in the cloud (500MB), but even if you go past your limit, your classroom will continue to record until it is ended, but new recordings will not be able to be started. It is recommended to back up recordings after every lecture as cloud recording space is not big enough to store multiple large videos; instructions are below:
