Zoom is one of the video teleconferencing tools available for use to the Bethel community in addition to Google Meet. Zoom is an application based tool (meaning it requires the download of an application to your computer for use) whereas Google Meet is a web based tool (meaning it runs in a web browser directly). For a side-by-side feature comparison, click on our Video TeleConferencing page. 

Info

Please note: Zoom is intended as the primary classroom video teleconferencing solution. Faculty are strongly encouraged to standardize their use to Zoom when in the classroom setting. Zoom is replacing Cisco Webex, which will no longer be available by May 2021. If you have previously used Webex, please transition to using Zoom as soon as possible. Troubleshooting assistance will only be available for Zoom and Google Meet.

Zoom is the official teleconferencing solution for classrooms. Zoom is publicly available via zoom.bethel.edu. Moodle integration with Zoom is sorted. Zoom is also the official lecture capture solution by utilizing the record feature. We recommend storing recordings to the Zoom cloud as these recordings will have an automatically generated transcript. These recordings can be shared into Moodle for students to view asynchronously. This can either be for pre-recorded lectures or for students unable to join synchronously. Please note that Zoom recordings will only be available for 30 120 days in the cloud due to limited storage. If a lecture needs to be permanently saved, please migrate the files to Youtube or Google Drive.

...

Recording meetings is a great tool for lecture capture as the recording of audio, screen capture, and camera feed are synced into one video. More information on recording and recording layouts can be found on Zoom's support website. Recordings stored in Zoom's cloud will only be available for 30 60 days. If a recording needs to be permanently stored, download the file and store it in Google Drive or upload to Youtube. If a recording needs to be edited, upload the video to Youtube and use Youtube's video editor. Breakout rooms are not recorded.

Note

The auto-delete policy of 30 days has been changed to 60 days after review of our storage for one month's use.


Sharing recordings with Zoom is very easy. Navigate to zoom.bethel.edu and select Recordings on the left side. You can then select which recording you would like to share and select "Copy sharing information to clipboard". You can then paste this into a Moodle course or email. Sharing through this method will give additional settings, namely allowing others to view but not download the recording.
