Zoom cloud recordings can be set to automatically require a password to view. If this setting is on, all cloud recordings will be assigned a random password. For recurring meetings that are recorded to the cloud, each instance of the Zoom will automatically get a different password.
Here's how to find the password and, if desired, change it:
- in a web browser, go to stonybrook.zoom.us and log in
- On the left, click Recordings and select Cloud Recordings on the top. Click Share to the right of the recording you want to see/set password for
- In Share this cloud recording, you'll see the password that was automatically set for the recording.
- Share that password and the recordings' link with those who you want to view the recording.
- OR change the password and click Save to set a new password.
- OR toggle off the password protect slider to turn off the password requirement for this individual recording
- After future sessions, go into stonybrook.zoom.us and follow the same steps to share/change the password requirement for that recording.
Keep Zoom Cloud Recording Retention in mind when sharing/accessing cloud recordings, as cloud recordings are automatically deleted as per that retention timeline.
