Important things to know

• The integration with Zoom Cloud will not work unless your Mediasite profile's email address is formatted as eid@k-state.edu. See the instructions above for details.

• The integration only imports recordings from the Zoom Cloud. It will not import Zoom meetings recorded locally to your computer. Mediasite Mosaic can be configured to automatically import recordings in your local Zoom recordings folder.

• Imported recordings will be placed in your My Mediasite Drafts folder. Once the import is complete, you can move a recording to a channel or shared folder, if desired.

• Recordings are not imported immediately. Zoom Cloud will require time to process the recording. Processing and importing the recording may take several hours, largely depending on the length of the recording and the availability of system resources in the Zoom Cloud.

• If you have enabled transcription of your cloud recording in Zoom, Mediasite will import the transcript as closed captions once Zoom completes the transcription process. Remember, automatically transcribed captions should be edited for accuracy.

• In the event a Zoom Cloud recording fails to import into Mediasite, the best course of action is to manually download the .mp4 recording from the Zoom Cloud and then upload it to Mediasite.

• Recordings imported into Mediasite are not removed from the Zoom Cloud. It is a best practice to regularly review your Zoom Cloud storage as well as your Mediasite storage and remove recordings you no longer need.
