Zoom Recordings

with Alex Hosmer

Zoom Cloud-based Recordings

Pros

• Easy to share/stream.
• Transcription relatively accurate and easy to edit.
• Can edit start/end points of video.
• Running transcription available for students.
• Can include chat.

Cons

• Difficult to embed in a Canvas page.
• Transcriptions require some editing (names, specialized vocabulary).
• Cannot edit out middle parts of the recording.
• Will likely be deleted at the end of each full term.
• Potentially not accessible without teaching contract.

Canvas Studio

and

TechConnect Cloud

Canvas Studio

• Easy to manage from within Canvas.
• Transcriptions relatively accurate.
• Unlimited Storage (10 GB per file)
• Playposit Option (in-beta).
• Canvas Studio Guide on How to Upload Media and How to Upload Captions.
• Review Canvas Studio Essentials to learn more.

Note: License paid by CCC through June 2022

TechConnect Cloud (3C Media Solutions)

• Easy to embed videos in canvas through the Rich Content Editor.
• Works well with longer recordings.
• Real human captioning available (requires documentation from DSPS.)
• Unlimited Storage (2 GB per file)
• Playposit Option.
• Learn how to transfer your Zoom recordings to TechConnect Cloud.
• Preferred option for storing/streaming for instructors without CCSF instructional contract.

Why Not YouTube?

We strongly recommend TechConnect Cloud as opposed to YouTube as a free video management and captioning solution.

• No advertising included with your embedded videos.
• Professional captioning service - Federal law requires all videos and multimedia to be accessible if it is shared with students or the public regardless of whether specific requests have been made. YouTube auto-captioning is not accessible.

​

Google Drive as Back-up

Always Have a Back-up

​

• What if the CCC ended support for TechConnect Cloud or Canvas Studio?
• Archive on an external hard drive if you need a lot of storage space.
• Archive your videos/captions in Google Drive if you have enough storage space.
• Educational Google Accounts will soon lose unlimited storage limits.
• Don’t use a personal Google account. Your content is better protected with an Educational Google License.
• Apply for an employee gmail account (Office365 Login Required).
