Video Placement

To make your video look professional, frame your video so that you are positioned in the center. Leave a space between the top of your head and the upper frame of your video. Have your camera positioned where you are able to look straight into the camera, opposed to looking down or looking up.

How to Allow Recordings to be Downloaded

When you are ready to share your recording, you will need to go into each recording and allow us the ability to download your video. You can find all of your recordings under “Recordings” from the left navigation menu when you login to your NYU zoom account.

  1. Please kindly change the title of your recording so we know what the topic of your video is. To do so, click on the recording. Once a new window appears, click the edit icon next to the name and change the title.change title of recording
