For class sessions recorded in Zoom without using the Canvas integration, these recordings should be moved from Zoom storage and uploaded to the Class Recordings/Panopto area in Canvas via a manual process. Once the videos have been moved to Class Recordings, they should be deleted from Zoom.
Watch a video demonstration of the process or follow the steps below.
- Check that Class Recordings is enabled on your course menu(s) in Canvas. To enable this menu option:
- Click Settings on your course menu.
- Click the Navigation tab.
- Click the Class Recordings button and drag it above the line that reads “Drag items here to hide them from students.” Or, click the three-vertical dots to the right of the Class Recordings buttons and select Enable.
- Click Save.

- Start the meeting and Record to the Cloud when recording meetings through Zoom.
- Download the recording from upenn.zoom.us. Note that it may take over an hour for long recordings to be available.
- Click Recordings.
- Select a recording and download the video (mp4) file.

- Upload the video file (mp4) to Class Recordings in Canvas. Videos loaded here will only be available to people enrolled in the Canvas site.
