Using Zoom to record to Mediasite

Mediasite provides an integration with Zoom that will automatically import selected Zoom recordings to your My Mediasite account. These recordings will count against your storage quota, but do offer some advantages:

  • Mediasite management and editing tools
  • No expiration date on the recording
  • No cost captioning of recordings using Zoom Captions

Prerequisites

FAU Zoom account - if you do not have an account but have an FAUNETID you can provision your account at: https://fau-edu.zoom.us

FAU MyMediasite account - Instructors can provision your Mediasite account via Canvas

  2. Open the Zoom Client and login using SSO - FAU's SSO address is "fau-edu.zoom.us"
  3. Click "Schedule" to begin setting up your meeting
    1. Title the meeting the desired name for your presentation 
    2. Enable waiting room so you are not interrupted
    3. Turn Host Video On
    4. Do not use End-to-end Encryption
