You will want to post all of your recorded lectures on Canvas.  The problem is the amount of space on Canvas available to each class is limited (you may only be able to post 3-4 lectures before running out of space.  The best way around this is to embed a video from Echo360 or Microsft Stream into your class canvas site. See below for links.

Echo360 Universal Capture is available to all instructors and faculty for recording lectures.  It is very well integrated with CSU’s Canvas system and will allow you to achieve your lectures for use in the future. This is excellent for pre-recorded classes and has many options.  As of now, I don’t know how well this works with Live classrooms. More to come.

You will download the Echo360 Universal Capture software to your computer.  Start the Capture software and then begin your presentation. Then embed the Echo360 video link to your class Canvas page (it might even do it automatically).  There are excellent tutorials available below.

This will work with your Zoom recorded classes (either prerecorded or live) and video from any other platform that you use or already have.  If you do record Zoom lectures or meetings I recommend that you setup your meeting link to automatically record it to the Zoom cloud (this is a setting you can choose when you setup the meeting).  If you record any Zoom meeting to your local computer be aware that it can take a long time after the meeting to process the video on your local computer.

Zoom does a great job of recording your lectures/meetings.  Recordings can either be to your local desktop or to the Zoom cloud.  If possible I would avoid the local desktop recording. These can take a long time to process after the meeting is over (on your computer) and therefore can get lost. If you record your Zoom lecture I highly recommend the Zoom cloud recording.  There are space limitations on your Zoom account so you will need to manage that space.

In order to deal with the Zoom and Canvas limitations, we can upload videos to Microsoft Stream.  Stream is a video hosting application that is included in our campus-wide Office license. Essentially this will involve downloading your Zoom cloud recording to your laptop, uploading the video to Stream, then embedding the stream link to your Canvas page.
