Locate the Zoom Meeting SIP address
You can find the SIP address under the Invite link "Copy Invitation" information:
The sip will be in the following format: [meetingid]@zoomcrc.com. For example 123456789@zoomcrc.com
Dial this string into the codec's control panel or remote. If there is a passcode, you'll be prompted to enter that in before you can join the Zoom meeting.
Note: You can include the passcode in the sip address with the following format: [meetingid].[passcode]@zoomcrc.com. For example 123456789.012345@zoomcrc.com
Access Video Classroom Recordings
-
Navigate to Zoom.us and sign in to your Zoom Account.
-
Go to the Recordings page.
-
Search for and select your desired recording.
Note: you can search by Topic, Meeting ID, or text from the audio transcript.
Rename Cloud Recordings
Recording Names by default will use the topic of the Meeting. To rename recordings you need to go to your account on Zoom.us. Click the “Recordings” page. Once the page has loaded, make sure you are in the “Cloud Recordings” tab. Under the meeting topic click your desired meeting. Next to the topic name, click the pencil icon. Type your desired name, click save. The name will also update automatically in the Zoom Activity on Moodle.
Store Cloud Recording
Users can keep their videos on Zoom Cloud Storage for the duration of the semester. Recordings are set to auto-delete after 365 days when initially recorded. For example, a cloud recording created on Aug 23, 2021, would be deleted on Aug 23, 2022. If a user has made a recording that they want to keep indefinitely, It is recommended to move a copy of desired recordings and related files to Google drive. For more information see Zoom Cloud Storage Archive Policy.

Appendix
The following provides a rationale for configuring settings a certain way.
Use Screen Sharing: Screen sharing needs to be turned on and set to All Participants (and all participants can start sharing) in order for any content to be shared with each other. This is usually whatever you are showing on the projector in the classroom, and allows people participating over Zoom to share their screens on the projector for presentations or other uses.
Use Passcodes: Add a passcode to your meetings while you build your reservations. This will help prevent unwanted Zoom bombings. Make sure you send us an invitation by email with this information in it in order for us to add your Zoom meetings to our system so that it will connect to your classroom.
Don’t use Waiting Rooms: If the Waiting Room option is on, the Video Conference Room Codec will not be able to connect to Zoom properly and will be locked in an external waiting room, creating problems with your meeting.
If you plan to be in the conference room with the Waiting Room feature enabled; the Host of the meeting will need to join from a second device (laptop or phone). Make sure the second device does not connect to audio to prevent a feedback loop. The Host can then freely add or remove participants (including the classroom) from the waiting room.
Don’t use Authenticatication to join: The conference room system has no way to properly authenticate to Zoom and will not connect to the meeting.
Use Host Video and Participants Video: This makes it so that participants over Zoom and participants in the classroom will be able to see each other and be displayed on the television screens in the classroom.
Use Join Before Host: This allows the conference room system and Zoom to join with each other without needing you to log into Zoom.
Don’t use Mute Participants upon Entry: This makes it so that conference room connected with zoom is muted and zoom participants and the recording will have no audio.
Don’t use your Personal Meeting ID: Your Personal Meeting ID is a special Zoom meeting that is always open. Using this for multiple purposes can heighten the risk of Zoom bombings. Always allow zoom to generate a meeting id for each scheduled event.
Use Automatic Cloud Recording: This will record your class sessions automatically for you. The Codec does not have the permission needed to manually start recording.
