Setting Up Zoom for Echo360

Updated 1/9/2024

Did you know you can set up your Zoom cloud recordings to automatically transfer to your Echo360 Library? Since Zoom cloud recordings are deleted after 100 days, Echo360 is the preferred storage solution.

To set up your course to record with Zoom and be stored in Echo360, follow these steps.

  1. Go to https://wpi.zoom.us and go to Meetings.
  2. Click the Schedule a Meeting button on the right.
  3. Fill out any specific details of your meeting. You can set this meeting up as being recurring for each of your class sessions. For naming conventions, a best practice is to name the meeting after your course and/or any identifiable dates, topics, or course section information.

    A red arrow points from the meetings button on the left menu to the "schedule a meeting" button on the right.
