Keep Video Recordings Long-Term
Do you have a video recording you aren't sure where to keep long-term and/or how to share it with others? Perhaps you have a Zoom Cloud recording that will soon expire, and you want to continue to keep and share. Or perhaps you have a video recorded in Zoom that did not utilize the Cloud, and it's still sitting in your computer's local drive, eating up space and making it difficult to share with others. Maybe you recorded using a different method than Zoom entirely, and have the file kept on a thumb drive, unsure what the next steps are to easily share your video with students or colleagues.
Whether you have a video on a thumb drive, in your computer's local drive, or even in the Zoom Cloud, you may be wondering how to keep and share the video long term. This training provides information on the best options available and details instructions for using those options. Use the link provided "Topic Shortcuts" section to navigate directly to that part of the training page.
Topic Shortcuts:
Keeping and Sharing Your Video Through OneDrive:
The first option for sharing your video is to upload and share it through OneDrive. Before you continue with the additional training steps below, please review the training page on accessing your OneDrive, provided by ITS.
This is a great option for WSU Employees and Students who want to ensure that only other members of WSU can access their content, and that are unfamiliar with Panopto.
From a Thumb Drive
Once you have accessed your OneDrive through your web browser, plug your thumb drive into your computer.
Next, in your OneDrive area, use the option to 'Upload', and choose 'Files'. This will open a file explorer window where you can select your video file.
Locate your thumb drive folder in the File Explorer window and find your video file.
Once you have found the correct video, select it and click 'Open'. This will upload the video to your OneDrive.
You can now share your the OneDrive video link.
From Zoom Cloud
Start by signing into the Zoom web portal through wichitastate.zoom.us, using your WSU credentials
In the navigation menu to the left side of the screen, click on ‘Recordings’.
All recordings that have completed processing will be listed. If you have recently recorded and do not see your video, the video may still be processing, and you should check back later.
If needed, use the date range and/or status filters to narrow the displayed videos down to find your video more easily.
Once you have found the recording you want to download, click on the video title to open its recording information page
On the recording’s page, select ‘Download’.
Next, go to your OneDrive and click on 'Upload' and choose 'Files'. This will open a file explorer window where you can select your video file.
If you haven't moved the video file from the 'Downloads' folder at this point, locate the 'Downloads' folder in the file explorer window and find your video file.
Once you have found the correct file, select it and click 'open'. This will upload the video to your OneDrive and you can now share your the OneDrive video link.
From Your Local Drive 'AKA From Your Computer Files'
Start by accessing your OneDrive through your web browser.
Next, in your OneDrive area, use the option to 'Upload', and choose 'Files'. This will open a file explorer window where you can select your video file.
Use the File Explorer window to locate the folder in which your video resides.
Once you have found the correct video file, select it and click 'Open'. This will upload the video to your OneDrive.
You can now share your the OneDrive video link.
Sharing the OneDrive Video Link
To share the video with others from OneDrive, select the file using the selection circle to the left of the file name.
Next use either the vertical ellipsis mark or the ribbon at the top of the page, and select the 'Share' option. This will open a pop up window with additional options to 'Send link' or 'Copy link'.
Whichever option you choose, please note the sharing permissions currently in use before sending or copying the link.
In many cases, the sharing permissions will be set to 'People in Wichita State University with the link'. This means that only those with WSU credentials will be able to access the file, and only with the link.
If this permissions setting doesn't meet your needs, there are additional options available that you can select.
-
- Anyone with the link
- People with existing access
- Specific people
If at any point you have difficulties with OneDrive--whether accessing, signing in, uploading files, or sharing--please contact the HelpDesk for assistance.
Keeping and Sharing Your Video through YouTube:
YouTube is a commonly used video hosting and sharing site as most people are familiar with it in some capacity. Uploading and sharing a video on YouTube does require you to have a google account and while there are a number of resources available online to assist you with any problems you may experience, YouTube is not a tool that Media Resources Center team members have administrative access to in order to provide in-depth support.
This is a good option for non-teaching employees and students who want to share their non-sensitive content with others. Please note, content containing student information should not be uploaded or shared outside of WSU-secured systems. If your content has student information, it should not be uploaded to YouTube.
