Recording your talk

Recording your talk for ISLE 6

Before recording, make sure your video and microphone (e.g. a headset) are working properly, and that there is no extra noise in the background.

Using Zoom

The Zoom application enables creating a video recording with a built-in record function. Once recorded, the default path where your local recordings will be saved to is: C:\users\username\Documents\Zoom. These recordings are saved as an mp4-file.

How to record:

  1. Open a Zoom meeting (e.g. your Personal room), and share your presentation on the screen by clicking on the Share Screen button located in your meeting controls.
  2. Click the Record button in your meeting controls.
  3. You can control the recording with Pause/Stop Recording buttons ​that can be found at the bottom of the screen (you may have to click on the three dots to get more options).
  4. When you finish the meeting, Zoom will automatically create the record to Documents/Zoom folder.
  5. Please rename the file with your own name and send it to us via WeTransfer.
