Option 2: Automatically Share Zoom Recordings in Canvas

Automation Setup

  1. In Canvas, enable the Zoom integration and the Media Gallery to be displayed on the Course Navigation Menu (Canvas: How to Incorporate Learning Tool Integrations (LTIs) in Your Course).
  2. In Canvas, click Media Gallery on the Course Navigation Menu. Click the Channel Actions button and choose Edit.
  3. Uncheck the box to Moderate content (media will not appear in media gallery until approved by the gallery manager).

  4. Click Save.
  5. Schedule the Zoom meetings for the course within the Canvas integration (Canvas: How to Use the Zoom Learning Tool to Schedule and Start a Meeting).
  6. At the beginning of class, start the Zoom meeting from Canvas (Canvas: How to Use the Zoom Learning Tool to Schedule and Start a Meeting).
  7. The class recordings will be automatically added to the Media Gallery.

Keep in Mind for Automation

  • You must start the meeting within the Canvas course. Meetings started from the Zoom app or by clicking a link will not be automatically added to the course.
  • Media Gallery must be turned on before the Zoom session is recorded or the video will not be automatically added to the course.
  • Closed Captioning will be automatically transferred with the video.
  • Zoom chat transcripts will be accessible through a file link in the Media Gallery.
