Copy your Zoom recordings to Mediasite and Brightspace Course Channel

Automatically copy recordings from Zoom to Mediasite. You can choose to add them to Brightspace in a playlist if you want as well.

You can use the Mediasite Zoom Cloud integration to copy your Zoom Cloud recordings over to MyMediasite. We recommend storing any recordings for student playback in Mediasite since it is our streaming media player on campus.

There are options when you create or edit a meeting that allow you to copy the Zoom recording of the meeting over to Mediasite. You can apply the setting to future meetings or retroactively to meetings that recorded within the last 30 days.

This does not work recordings older than 30 days. For those recordings you will have to manually move them over. 

Once you automatically copy your recordings over to Mediasite, you can also put them into a playlist in your Brightspace course called Mediasite Course Channel. This can be a good way to keep your synchronous class recordings in one place for students to refer to in a course, or to provide recorded sessions for any asynchronous learners or students who missed sessions.

Automatically Add Recordings to the Mediasite Course Channel

The Mediasite Course Channel is a way to provide ALL video content added to MyMediasite for the course in one big playlist container to students.

1. In your Brightspace course, click Resources.
2. Click Mediasite Course Channel. (This is necessary to CREATE the channel for your course. You won't be able to add anything from MyMediasite to the channel until you click this to create it. Once you do this, you don't have to do it again in that course.)
   
3. The Mediasite Course Channel will load in the Brightspace frame.
   
4. Click the name of the course to go back to the course homepage.
   
5. In the browser address bar, select and copy the number that follows the "home/" portion of the web address of your course. This is what we call the Brightspace course ID number or ou#.
   
6. In the Zoom portal at https://commonwealthu-edu.zoom.us edit or create a meeting.
7. Scroll down past Meeting Options and select Yes in the Copy to Mediasite drop down menu.
8. In the "Course ID number from Brightspace" field, paste the ou# you copied in step 5 above.
9. Click Save
   

Once the recordings process from Zoom Cloud to Mediasite, they will show up in the Mediasite Course Channel for your course, and also in your Presentations in MyMediasite. 

This process can take some time depending on the length of the recording and the complexity of the captioning in Zoom.
