Make Cloud Recordings Downloadable

Overview

By default your Zoom cloud recordings are not downloadable by anyone other than the owner of the video. However, there may be times when you would like to make the video available offline whether it is to allow for users that require access when off a network or due to the Zoom Cloud Recording Retention Policy. 

Before starting, please review and understand the FERPA considerations as related to recorded Zoom lectures
