Recording Zoom Sessions 



How to Record Zoom Sessions and Consider Students' Privacy

If you plan to record your Zoom sessions, include a Zoom disclaimer in Canvas or on your Syllabus. Here is an example that can be modified as needed.

Zoom disclaimer:

This class has weekly online meetings using Zoom. Our class meetings will be recorded. I will share the video recordings only with students in this class. When you attend the online class meetings, you give me permission to record your image and/or voice in the recording. If you do not want your image and/or voice in the recording, you are not required to attend the online class meetings. You can watch the recordings at a later time.

If you want to attend our online class meetings, but you also want to protect your identity, Zoom has some options. You can turn off your camera, rename your meeting name, and type in the chat box.


More information about recording Zoom sessions from SDCCD Online Dean Brian Weston:


If the class recording is behind a login screen such as Canvas, Flipgrid, and if it’s not publicly accessible, it’s okay to record. A class recording can only be used for the students during that specific class. Do not share a class recording with a different class. In addition, faculty must address privacy issues in syllabus and weekly announcements, including the following:

  1. Faculty need to provide a disclaimer to notify students of intent to record when using Zoom, Flipgrid, other multimedia recordings.
  2. Faculty need to explain to students the steps to take to change settings to avoid being recorded or be recorded anonymously, including:
    • Change screen name
    • Mute video
    • Use chat
    • Other
  3. At the beginning of each class, Faculty can present a PowerPoint slide with a statement to alert students of recording:
This online class will be recorded. If you speak during class, you will be recorded. If you want to participate anonymously, please do these things:
      • Change screen name
      • Mute video
      • Use chat

There are many ways to communicate with students about these issues. Faculty have “agency” to choose the best way to provide disclaimers and instructions for recordings in Zoom and other Web 2.0 software.

What Recording settings should I select in my Zoom account to best ensure students are not recorded in the archive?

Before Your Schedule Your Meetings:

  1. From your ConferZoom Account, click on My Account and select Settings.
  2. Select the Recording tab and choose the following settings:
    • Disable Local Recording
    • If you wish to have a video of the speaker recorded during screensharing, enable Record Active Speaker with Shared Screen.
    • If you do NOT wish to have a video of the speaker recorded during screensharing, enable Record active speaker, gallery view, and shared screen separately, and only select Shared Screen
    • Disable Record Gallery View with Shared Screen
    • Disable Display Participants' Names in the Recording
    • Enable Multiple Audio Notifcations of Recorded Meeting, which plays an automated message whenever a recording is started, or a participant enters a session that is already being recorded.
    • When your meeting starts, keep your Zoom view set to Speaker View (as opposed to Gallery View). This ensures that only the person who is speaking appears on the screen, as opposed to recording a grid view of all attendees with webcams enabled.
