Recording Live Lectures in Zoom
Before recording, let everyone BEFORE the lecture that it will be recorded and how it will be used. This
will help students prepare how they appear or what they decided to say during the recording. Be as
transparent as possible. If the students do object, let them know up to what part of the session you will
be recording and when recording will be turned off. For suggested notice, use this approved notification
language:
“This [class/meeting] is being conducted over Zoom. As the host, I will be recording this session. The
recording feature for others is disabled so that no one else will be able to record this session through
Zoom. No recording by other means is permitted. This session will be posted at the CCLE class website
unless otherwise notified. If you have privacy concerns and do not wish to appear in the recording, do
not turn on your video. If you also prefer to use a pseudonym instead of your name, please let me know
what name you will be using so that I know who you are during the session. If you would like to ask a
question, you may do so privately through the Zoom chat by addressing your chat question to me only
(and not to “everyone”), or you may contact me by another private method. If you have questions or
concerns about this, please contact me.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement between the vendor and UCLA, the data is used solely for this
purpose and the vendor is prohibited from redisclosing this information. UCLA also does not use the data
for any other purpose. Recordings will be deleted when no longer necessary. However, the recording
may become part of an administrative disciplinary record if misconduct occurs during a
videoconference.”
On the day of the lecture, remind students again before the recording starts. If you decide to post the
lecture, please use your CCLE site or a secure are that requires students to be enrolled and logged in
with their UCLA logon.
