Zoom may send you automatic emails when a cloud recording’s status changes. This includes when they are ready to view and share or when Zoom is about to permanently delete a recording. You can turn these notifications on or off based on your preferences.

Cloud Recording Available

When your cloud recording and transcript are finished processing, Zoom can send you, your delegates, and your alternative hosts an email with instructions on how to share your recording. You can turn this notification off or choose who receives it by adjusting your settings on the Zoom website:

  1. Log in to Zoom Meetings using your BU Login.
  2. Click the “Settings” link, located on the sidebar to the left of the page.
  3. Scroll down to the “Email Notification” section and locate the “When a cloud recording is available” option.
  4. Use the slider on the right side of the page to turn the notification on or off. When enabled, you can also use the checkboxes to send copies of the notification to the person who scheduled the meeting for you or your alternative hosts.
