When someone within Stony Brook shares a Zoom recording link with you and requires authentication, you'll need to sign in with NetID/NetID (SSO) to access it.
Keep Zoom Cloud Recording Retention in mind when sharing/accessing cloud recordings, as cloud recordings are automatically deleted as per that retention timeline.
- If you get a link to a recording but are prompted to sign in (e.g., with email address and password), don't fill in the email/password. Instead, scroll down
- Scroll down and click on Sign in with SSO (SSO=NetID/NetID password)
- Enter the Company Domain which is "stonybrook"
- Then enter your NetID and NetID password:
- If you are prompted for a password* after signing in with SSO, ask the person who made the recording (the Zoom Host) to share that password with you. (Only the Zoom Meeting Host has this password).
*There is a global setting in the Zoom portal , Zoom hosts can change that setting so their cloud recordings by default do not prompt viewers for a password.
