- Zoom cloud recording will remain available for 120 days. If you want to keep it more than 6 months, you will need to download the recording and upload it to our streaming server, Kaltura. Be aware of PCC FERPA policy and do not share videos with your students names. Follow this guide to Move Zoom recordings to Kaltura for long term storage.
Cloud Recording Playback Range
You can set a playback range for a Zoom cloud recording that you share with others, so that it starts and ends at the times you specify, and hides unneeded portions from the beginning and end.
The playback range is setting a specific start and stop point for others to watch the recording but it does not completely remove or trim out any parts of the recording.
- Setting a playback range is like setting particular timestamps within the recording that you want others to watch, but they will still be able to view the entirety of the recording if they download it.
- If you wish to trim out and completely remove specific parts of the recording, you will need to use a video editing program, such as iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, Camtasia, or Adobe Premier to edit the recording.
