How do I share my screen or show an application rather than my camera feed in Zoom?
At the bottom of the Zoom window, you will find the “Share” button. Select the application you would like to share, and it will become your main video feed. If you were recording yourself, you will still be visible through a small picture-in-picture screen however, so be aware of that.
How can I make transcripts available for my lectures?
If you record to the cloud then bring it to the desktop, the transcription doesn’t come, so you will either need to record to desktop, then upload to the cloud, or copy the cloud transcript and paste it into a Word document for the student. You can find a tutorial on how to auto-transcribe your videos here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004794983-Automatically-Transcribe-Cloud-Recordings-.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to current high demands on the Zoom servers, transcription may take more time than you think. Please send in a help desk ticket (ext. 884) if transcription has not finished in 24 hours.

I've heard that we're have a very limited amount of Zoom storage. Does that apply to device-saved recordings?
No, the storage space issue is related to files stored on the Zoom Cloud, not files stored on your devices. If you have items saved there, we ask that you ensure that they are stored on VidGrid or your storage device of choice, then delete them.
