Prepare Your Zoom Owner Account

Before you start setting up the OAuth application and connect  LearningSpace with your Zoom owner account:

• check and make sure that you have enough cloud storage per licensed user,

• manage Zoom waiting rooms,

• explore and set up auto-saving chat features.
  
  

Check Your Current Storage Amount

Virtual event recordings are first saved to the cloud when you conduct a virtual event in a Zoom (Oauth) virtual room. Once recording files are saved to the cloud, LearningSpace begins video processing and downloads the duplicates of the recordings through a secure HTTPS channel to the Video Review module.

When the recordings arrive in the Video Review module, the original video recording files are transferred to the Trash folder in your Zoom account: this is the default setup of the Zoom virtual room integration always to leave you with enough storage in the cloud.

Check the total amount of your cloud storage in your Zoom owner account:

1. Log in to your Zoom owner account.

2. Open the Account Management drop-down on the left.

3. Search for Reports and select it. 
   You will land on the Usage Reports tab where your Zoom account usage statistics are gathered.

4. Select Cloud Recording:
   
   

   
   
   

5. You will be redirected to the cloud storage report of your Zoom owner account: 
   Check the total storage allotment in the green field.
   Suppose the total storage divided by the number of licensed users equals 1 GB. In that case, you don't have enough cloud storage to safely store the recordings of virtual events until LearningSpace downloads them to the Video Review module.
   
   
   

   
   
   
   
   
   Note

   Once LearningSpace has successfully downloaded virtual event recordings to the Video Review module, cloud recordings are moved to the trash folder in your Zoom owner account:
   
   

   

   
   
   

   Video recordings do not take up space from your cloud storage once they are in the trash folder.

   The recordings will be stored for another 30 days until they are automatically deleted. 
   
   

   

   
   
   

How to Increase Cloud Storage Without Changing Your Current Plan

1. Go to the Plans and Billing drop-down and select Plan Management.
   
   

   
   
   
   

2. By default, your current plans are displayed (e.g., Zoom One Pro). 
   
   

3. Scroll to Cloud Storage and click on Add.
   
   

   
   
   
   

4. You will be redirected to the Checkout page, where you can manage your Cloud Storage. 
   
   

5. Select the 200 GB/month solution (highlighted in blue frame):

   This solution is sufficient to accommodate the recordings of virtual events temporarily.

   
   

   
   
   
   
   

6. After selecting the extra cloud storage, scroll down to the bottom of the page to verify the payment method and complete the purchase via the Place Order button on the right side.
   
   

7. Zoom will confirm that your purchase has been successful.
   
   

Disable Waiting Rooms

To disable this feature:

1. Log into your Zoom owner account.

2. Open Account Management on the left.

3. Go to Account Settings.
   
   

   
   
   
   

4. On the Meeting tab, scroll down to the Waiting room setting. 
   You can find the setting right away in the Security section.
   
   

   
   
   
   
   

5. Toggle the switch in the Waiting room.
   A dialogue will open where you have to confirm the setting:
   
   

   
   
   
   

6. Click Disable, and your change will be saved automatically.
   
   

Enable Auto-Save for Chat Conversations

Save Chats to the Cloud

Saving chat messages to the cloud can only be enabled for each user separately:

1. Log into your Zoom owner account.

2. Open User Management on the left, then select Users.

3. In Users, click on the user account you want to modify. 
   You will be redirected to the user account's profile page.

4. Once there, open the Settings drop-down.

5. Select Recording.
   
   

   
   
   
   
   

6. Scroll down to "Save chat messages from the meeting/webinar".

Select the checkbox to save your settings.

Access the Saved Chat Conversations of a Virtual Room

Chat files can be retrieved from the cloud storage in each licensed user account of a LearningSpace virtual room:

By default, once meeting recordings arrive in the Video Review module, they are automatically moved to the Trash folder in the virtual room's user account.

If a recording is in the Trash folder, you cannot download the meeting recording and its attachments—such as chat history or the separate audio file of the recording—from Zoom.

Deleted cloud recordings can be accessed for another 30 days after they were moved to the Trash:

How to Recover Recordings from the Trash Folder in Zoom

1. Log into your Zoom owner account.
   
   

2. Open Account Management under ADMIN on the left.

3. Select Recording Management.
   Here, you can access the cloud recordings of every user registered in your owner account.
   
   
   

   
   
   
   You can log straight into the Zoom user account of a virtual room to retrieve the recording of the virtual event.
   If you log directly into an account, go to Recordings:

   
   

   
   
   
   
   You can choose either option. From this point on, the steps of recovering your recordings from the trash are the same with either approach.
   The screenshots included in this section show the recovery process inside an owner account.

4. Go to the Trash folder: use the link on the right.

5. Select your recording from the list in the Trash folder.
   
   

   The start time of each recording shows the moment when the SP in charge launched the virtual meeting from their learner pre-selection page. The recording immediately begins once the SP starts hosting the meeting.

   
   
   
   

6. Click Recover to move your recording back to your main recording page.

7. Confirm that you would like to recover the selected recording:
   
   

   
   
   

   
   

   Otherwise, the recording remains in the Trash folder, and you will not be able to download the recording and its attachments—such as chat history or the separate audio file of the recording—from Zoom.

8. Click on the My Recordings link at the top of your page to return from the Trash folder.

9. Find your recovered video recording.
