Zoom – Cloud Storage Retention
Austin Community College values the convenience and efficiency that Zoom cloud storage brings to our virtual learning and communication needs. However, due to the ever-growing volume of video content stored on Zoom servers, we must implement a revised retention policy for Zoom cloud recordings. Please read on for important information regarding this policy change and its impact.
What You Need to Know
Beginning December 15, all Zoom cloud recordings that are 120 days old will be automatically deleted from the Zoom video storage system. This policy applies to all users within the ACC community, including faculty, staff, and students.
Retention Alternatives
If you require access to Zoom recordings beyond the 120-day retention period, we recommend transferring your recordings to Panopto. Panopto offers a secure and user-friendly platform for storing and managing video content.
