Manage Zoom Recordings

We are limited in the amount of storage we have available to store Zoom recordings so we strongly encourage you to take some time to delete or archive recordings that you will not be using.

Delete Zoom Recordings

  1. Log in to your Zoom account (https://fhda-edu.zoom.us/) using your MyPortal username and password.
  2. 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.

  3. 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.
