2020 Zoom-to-Echo360 Video Migrations In Progress

UPDATE! Thank you to the many UHCL faculty and staff who have already responded to our team's email regarding ongoing Zoom recording deletions! Our team emailed 186 faculty and staff members who own the nearly 4300 Zoom video recordings from the 2020 calendar year to determine whether they wanted us to delete those old recordings, or whether they preferred our assistance in migrating the videos from Zoom into Echo360. If you received an email from our team about 2020 Zoom recordings, please do take a few moments to review and respond to that inquiry.

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.
