Zoom Cloud Recording Available for Faculty and Staff

submitted by krajewsk@augsburg.edu

Faculty and staff can now choose to save their Zoom meeting recordings either on their computer or in the Zoom cloud. Recordings in the Zoom cloud can be downloaded at any time by the meeting host. Cloud recordings are automatically transcribed to text. The host will receive an email from Zoom when a cloud recording is ready for viewing.

Recordings will remain in the cloud for 6 months. After which, they are moved to the trash for 30 days before being deleted automatically. Zoom will email the meeting host 7 days before recordings are deleted. You can download the recordings if you wish to save them.

Recordings can be managed in the Zoom web portal https://augsburg.zoom.us/recording/. Recordings can be shared via a link much like Google Docs.

Students still can record meetings they host on their computer.

Next Week: Tuesday Tabling to Advocate for Student Aid

submitted by farrisr@augsburg.edu

In partnership with Augsburg, the Minnesota Private College Council is asking the state legislature to support college affordability for all students in Minnesota.

If you receive the Minnesota State Grant, we invite you to write a short note to your state legislators to help ensure you and future generations of Auggies continue to receive crucial financial support. Sharing your story with legislators only takes a few minutes, but it makes a lasting impact.

Join us at Augsburg’s Letters to Legislators event next week:

Tuesday, October 14, 2025
10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Christensen Center Lobby

All you have to do is stop by! We’ll take care of the rest, including providing you with writing supplies, a sample note, info about your legislators, and more.
