How do I share my cloud recording with non-Ohio State viewers?

Cloud recordings can only be viewed by other CarmenZoom account members, so an additional step is needed to make them viewable for non-Ohio State audiences. You can do this for individual recordings or all recordings under your account. Make sure you follow Ohio State's Institutional Data Policy requirements and FERPA guidelines when sharing your recording links.

To remove the authentication requirement from a specific recording:

  1. Log in at carmenzoom.osu.edu.
  2. Click your profile picture in the upper-right corner of the window and select Profile. 
  3. On the left side of the page, click Recordings and Transcripts. Locate the recording you want to share.
  4. On the bottom-right of your specific recording, you will see an arrow icon. This is the Share button, click it to bring up a Share dialog box.
  5. Change the Link access dropdown menu to Anyone with the link. Your change will save automatically.

To disable the setting for your CarmenZoom account:

  1. Log in to carmenzoom.osu.edu.
  2. Click your profile picture in the upper-right corner of the window and select Settings.
  3. On the left side of the page, click Recording, and then scroll to the Share settings.
  4. Look for the setting titled Require users to authenticate before viewing cloud recordings. Switch this setting off to remove the authentication requirement from all cloud recordings under your account. Your change will save automatically.

If you are still having issues with sharing or accessing Zoom recordings after following all the above steps, let us know at carmenzoom@osu.edu.
