Recording Instructional Media: Recording in a Hybrid Classroom

How to Record a Hybrid Classroom Session

If you have a combination of students in the local classroom and students joining the class session via Zoom, you can follow these steps to record your session:

• In the local classroom connect your laptop to a data projector or large monitor. 
   
• Host the Zoom meeting on your laptop to live stream the class to the remote learners.
   
• Start Recording in the Zoom meeting. 
  In the Zoom meeting click on Record and choose one of the following options:
  • Record on this computer if you want to save the recording file on your laptop. Keep your laptop connected to WIFI until Zoom displays a confirmation that the download is complete. 
  • Record to the cloud if you want to eliminate the time needed to stay connected while the recording processes. See the Zoom guide, Enable Cloud Recording, for instructions on how to make this setting available in your Zoom meetings.
     
• Share screen in Zoom, which will also display on the classroom projection screen or monitor.
   
• If a student asks a question, you can repeat the question so that both local and remote students hear it.
   

If you want to move around the local classroom while recording

• If you want to move around the local classroom, display objects, or write on a whiteboard, you can connect your smartphone or iPad to Zoom and Share Content from that device. This will enable you to display apps on your device (e.g., Explain Everything whiteboard app). 
  NOTE: We eliminate feedback issues when relying on a single source of audio in the local classroom. If you log into the Zoom meeting on your device (See Option 2 in the guide, Sharing an iPad Screen), be sure to 
  • Leave computer audio on your laptop and use audio on the device.
  • Start the Zoom recording on your device so that you will include audio in your Zoom recording.

Sharing Your Recording

• If you chose to Record to the Cloud, download your recording from your account at https://zoom.us within 10 days and Share Your Recordings.
  NOTE: To eliminate the process of downloading your recording from your Zoom account, you can set up in advance of the Zoom meeting the option to Schedule Meetings and Automatically Upload to Canvas, which means you can schedule and record a Zoom meeting that will automatically save your meeting recording to your Canvas course site.
• If you chose to Record on this Computer, the guide, Share Your Recordings, demonstrates how to upload the Zoom recording from your computer's Zoom folder (i.e., Zoom .mp4 video file) to your YouTube account and share the YouTube link in your course site.
