As more faculty embrace the use of Zoom to record and deploy
lecture recordings, video tutorials, and virtual class meetings, UHCL's
available Zoom cloud storage is nearing capacity. To avoid incurring
substantial costs associated with more storage, the IDT team is beginning an
effort to reduce Zoom cloud storage by helping 186 faculty and staff members
cull and/or migrate the nearly 4300 Zoom video recordings from the 2020
calendar year into Echo360 for long-term storage. We expect to send initial
email inquiries to faculty/staff with 2020 videos stored in the Zoom cloud
early next week, and we would greatly appreciate everyone's cooperation in this
effort so that we can make temporary storage space available for SP22
recordings.
Beginning in 2021, we integrated our Zoom and Echo360
environments. As a result, if you have activated your Echo360 account and you
elect to have your Zoom recordings "save to the cloud," they will be
saved both temporarily in Zoom and in your Echo360 Library for long-term
storage and deployment. Our team will then periodically identify Zoom cloud
recordings that also exist in Echo360 and remove those from Zoom storage.
Faculty and staff are advised to consider Zoom cloud storage as a temporary
holding space for video recordings, with Echo360 as the tool for long-term
storage, retrieval, and sharing.
For more information about the transfer process for 2020
Zoom cloud recordings, or to learn more about the Echo360 video storage
environment, please contact the Support Center to have your inquiry sent to a
member of our Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) team.
