Zoom Meeting

Use Live Captioning & Transcript for Zoom PD Trainings

Why use Live Captioning?  95 million Americans rely on closed captioning when viewing programs. 28 million of them are hearing impaired, 30 million are learning English as a second language, 27 million are adults trying to improve their literacy skills, and 10 million are children learning how to read. Studies have shown that children who view television with the closed captioning turned on have higher educational achievements and literacy rates.  Furthermore, the FCC mandates nearly all programming to be closed captioned.  Captioning will help your event audience understand better, especially in a noisy room.

Storing Zoom Recording Files

NOTE:  Zoom Cloud recordings are held for only 60 days

Configure Zoom CC & Cloud Recording Settings

  • If you need to save Zoom recordings for longer than 60 days, do the following steps:

    • Download Zoom recording files from your Zoom Web Portal. (Go to 'Recordings' tab, click on meeting title, click 'Download' files button next to the video play image).

    • The files will download to your local hard drive (likely to your laptop's 'Download' folder).  To free up your hard drive space (and in case your drive crashes), you'll want to upload these large video files to your Service Area's shared Google drive...

    • Go to your Google Drive, click on 'Shared drives'.

    • Click on 'R10 Drop Box'

    • Open your Service Area's folder, then open the 'Zoom Recordings' folder.

      • Right-click in the Zoom Recording's folder to create a new sub-folder -- name it with your Event's Title. 

      • Open your newly created folder and upload your downloaded Zoom files to this place for safe keeping. 

NOTE:  When the R10 Drop Box gets full, the oldest files will be deleted. If you really need to keep the video, consider working with Communications or Web Team to upload video to R10 YouTube channel, or contact R10 Help Desk for more options.
