Warning
titleRecording Meetings

Zoom offers the option to Record meetings. With a free account you can only record to your local PC - and by default it will record to your "Documents\Zoom" folder, with a new folder being created per meeting. Please be careful when recording meetings, if you are using a shared account on a PC (e.g. one of the Seminar Room logins) then the recording will be visible to anyone else who logs in with that account, unless you move or delete it. The video is not encrypted or password protected.

With a paid account you are offered the option of saving the recording online - either to the Zoom Cloud Servers, or to another server of your choice. Please be extremely careful when using this, as the video is not encrypted or password protected, and as various news & security organisations have found people have been uploading confidential recordings to public or unsecured websites.

Please also note that aside from these technical steps, there are the usual concerns about data and privacy - no Patient Identifiable Data should be used or discussed in the meeting, and the participants should consent to & be informed of the recording before the meeting is recorded, copyright for eventual published recordings and retention policy of recordings:

  • Tell participants ahead of time that the lecture meeting will be recorded and the intended purpose of the recording.
  • Alert them of any copyright restrictions (e.g. as per the copyright notice on MedEd) over the published recordings.
  • Create, action, and inform all participants of the retention policy/process for the recordings.
