The information contained in this training guide is designed to give Lecturecast Instructors (Moodle Tutors and Course Administrators) everything they need to make their Zoom meeting recordings available for students. Please note that Zoom recordings are owned by the host of the original Zoom meeting and they will have to publish the recording in Lecturecast themselves. For more information on scheduling Zoom meetings, please refer to this guide in the Moodle resource centre: M60 - Zoom Meeting.
Open one of your Moodle courses and open the Lecturecast link on that course. If a Lecturecast link hasn't been created on your Moodle course, then you will need to create a new link.
Navigate to your personal library within Lecturecast by clicking the Echo360 icon located in the top right of the page.
Once you've clicked on the Echo 360 logo, you'll then see your personal library within Lecturecast that will contain your Zoom recordings. By default the library is sorted in order of date created with the most recent items first.
Find the recording you wish to publish, click on it and then press Share on the page that loads.
Once you have pressed share, the share settings window will then open. Select the Class tab to publish the Zoom recording. Please that you must add a New Class to avoid overwriting any existing content in your course.
Sign into Zoom directly using the single sign on system via ucl.zoom.us.
Once you have signed into Zoom, locate your recording by opening the Recordings section.
You will then see a list of all your recordings stored within Zoom. These can be searched by name or filtered by date. Once you have located your recording, click on it's name.
Once you've clicked onto the name of the recording you wish to download, you'll be presented with a page that contains three download options. For use in Lecturecast, download the Shared screen with speaker view by hovering over it and clicking the download button. Depending on the length of the recording and your download speeds, this may take some time to complete. Please note that Zoom generates a transcript for recordings which can be uploaded into Lecturecast to use instead of the captions and transcript generated by the automatic speech recognition function.
Please note, you will need to manually download and upload the Audio Transcript VTT file if you wish to use Zoom's captions instead of those generated by Lecturecast. For more information on uploading transcripts, please refer to the Echo360 guidance.
Once you have finished downloading your Zoom recording, you need to upload it into Lecturecast. Go to any of your Moodle courses and open the Lecturecast link.
Now that you're in Lecturecast, open the Create dropdown and click Upload Media.
In the popup that opens, select the downloaded video file and then press Upload. Please note that this could be a lengthy process depending on the size of the file and your upload speed. Lecturecast can also take up to 24 hours to process video files that have been uploaded to the system.
Upon completion of the upload, follow the above instructions to publish this content to your course.
