*Please note: FAU will retire use of Webex on June 30, 2023. The Webex platform will no longer be available for use in meetings after this date. Webex will be removed from Canvas on May 8, 2023, at the end of the Spring term. Users should download any important cloud recordings or meeting information before this date. Zoom and Microsoft Teams will still be available for meetings and office hours sessions.

For assistance with Zoom or Microsoft Teams, visit our TechEvents Calendar or schedule an appointment with one of our staff here.*

Starting January 3rd, 2022, the storage periods for cloud recordings made in Webex and Zoom are changing to 180 days. They will be deleted from the cloud after this point.

  • For Webex: the cloud storage period is decreasing from 366 days to 180 days. 
  • For Zoom: the cloud storage period is increasing from 120 days to 180 days. Users can opt-out of receiving email reminders about Zoom cloud recording expiration dates. To do this, follow the instructions in the document linked here.

Cloud recordings on both platforms can be downloaded and saved to Mediasite or other storage options. For assistance with this please reach out to us via this Help Desk Request.
