Using Zoom
Save your Zoom cloud recordings!
You received a recent message stating Zoom recordings made prior to August 15th would be deleted per the State Chancellor’s Office.
We have now received an update that this message was intended for other Zoom users across the state, and does NOT apply to Foothill-De Anza as we moved to a subaccount in August 2020. Your Zoom recordings will NOT be deleted on March 8.
Spring Cleaning
Since we are limited in the amount of storage we have available to store recordings we strongly encourage you to do some "Spring cleaning" in the coming months and delete any archived recordings that you will not be using.
Access Your Zoom Account
As you may know, Zoom accounts are provided by a statewide grant from the California Community College Chancellor’s Office. Currently, a centralized office, ConferZoom, is the administrator for all Zoom accounts in the CCC system.
On August 21st, ConferZoom transfered administration of our district accounts to FHDA.
Logging into Zoom
When you log in to your Zoom account through the web, you'll log in at https://fhda-edu.zoom.us/.
You may still log in through conferzoom.org or zoom.us, it will simply redirect you to the FHDA subaccount.
Your current log in and password will work seamlessly with the new subaccount, and all your meetings will automatically transfer to our new subaccount.
If you are linking to Zoom recordings you will need to update the links. For help visit Online Learning office hours to connect with one of us.
Using Zoom from within Canvas
The new app “Foothill Zoom” replaced the ConferZoom app within Canvas.
Foothill Zoom works seamlessly with your FHDA Zoom account. When you schedule a meeting in Canvas through the Foothill Zoom app, the meeting will automatically be added to your FHDA Zoom account—in fact, the app is connected to this account! In addition, the new Foothill Zoom app will add the meeting to your Canvas Calendar.
Delete Zoom Recordings
- Log in to your Zoom account (https://fhda-edu.zoom.us/) using your MyPortal username and password.
- Select Recordings from the left-hand side of the screen. You may have the option of
viewing Cloud and Local Recordings. Make sure to select Cloud Recordings. If that
option is not shown it means that you automatically record to the cloud.
Archive Zoom Recordings
Step 1: Download from Zoom
- Log in to your Zoom account (https://fhda-edu.zoom.us/) using your MyPortal username and password.
- Select Recordings from the left-hand side of the screen. You may have the option of viewing Cloud and Local Recordings. Make sure to select Cloud Recordings. If that option is not shown it means that you automatically record to the cloud.
- You can select a range of dates or scroll to the recordings you plan to download.
- Click the name of the recording you wish to download.
- In the window that appears, click the Download button. This will download all files
associated with the recording, including the audio transcript. You may want this file
to use as your captioning file.
Step 2: Store Your Recordings for Sharing
You can store your videos in permanent cloud storage:
- Canvas Studio - Recommended for instructors who share videos in their Canvas classes and for whom
auto-captioning or the Zoom caption file will work.
- 3CMedia - Recommended for instructors who need professional captioning (offered on a limited
basis) or for instructors who need to share their videos outside of their FHDA classes.
You will need an account and should use your fhda email when signing up
- Office 365/One Drive - Recommended for non-instructioinal videos that may be shared on websites. First,
access Office 365 via MyPortal and click on OneDrive. You will want to upload the
MP4 of your video that includes the Audio Transcript. You should not upload/share
videos that don't have captioning/audio transcripts.
Step 3: Update Links to Videos in Canvas/On Your Website
If you previously shared your Cloud Recordings in Canvas or on a Website, you will need to update the links using the Sharing Guides above.
