On Jan 4, 2021, K-State instituted a 180-day retention policy for Zoom cloud recordings.
Beginning Monday, July 5, 2021, all recordings older than 180 days (Jan. 4, 2021, or older) will be automatically moved to Zoom Trash. Going forward, all Zoom cloud recordings will be deleted from Zoom cloud storage 180 days from the date of creation. These recordings will be moved to the Zoom Trash folder and will be available for 30 additional days for recovery before permanent deletion.
Recordings that need to be kept beyond 180 days should be downloaded from Zoom and stored on your own local storage or in a different cloud location such as YouTube, OneDrive, or Mediasite. Zoom recordings created by using the ‘Record on this computer’ option are stored locally on your computer and are exempt from the 180-day retention policy.
Zoom has an article on how to delete local or cloud recordings.
Remember some recordings may fall under public records and retention laws, visit the official university retention schedule database for guidance. If you have additional records questions, please contact Ryan Leimkuehler the University Records Manager at rleimkue@ksu.edu.
