Record a meeting or lecture

If you want students or others to be able to view your presentation when it suits them, then you can record it and later upload it to the UiO web site and the Semester page. For uploading, use the integrated course upload tool.

For instructions on?installation of Zoom and sign-in, please see?our installation and sign in guide.

Please note that?the time it takes to complete and convert the recording after it is stopped, depends on the processor speed and screen resolution of the computer you are using. The faster the machine, the faster it is possible to complete the recording. Very high resolution means that completion takes a long time. A resolution of 1920x1080 is recommended if available.

Recording lectures and other events at UiO

Please ensure that you have read the regulations for?recording and considered privacy issues before you record/upload the lecture.

2. Prepare

  • Make sure you have sent invitations?to the meeting or placed the meeting URL on the correct page for students to see.?
  • Double check that the meeting has good settings. It is important that the security settings are adapted to the type of meeting and that the sound for the participants is muted (Advanced options> Mute participants upon entry).
  • Test audio and video.
  • If it is a large meeting or event, you should have helpers who are co-hosts who can assist by letting participants in from the waiting room, keeping track of who is asking to speak and what comes up on the chat.?

3. Start your meeting/lecture

  • Go to the invitation you sent to the participants, and click the meeting URL to open the meeting.
  • Select the "Speaker view" display setting. This is very important, especially for lectures and larger meetings. This prevents students and others who may not want to be in the recording, from showing up in the main window which is being recorded.
  • When the participants are in place, make it known that the meeting/event will be recorded and that those who say something during the meeting will be innthe recording. If they do not want to be in the recording, they can ask questions in chat or by e-mail (which will be answered afterwards).
    NOTE: Zoom has multiple views, and it is what is displayed on your screen that is recorded. You must select the "Speaker view" display setting.
