Make a Zoom Recording and Share it in D2L

If your instructor has required a video recording with screen sharing for a class assignment, these instructions will help you create the video recording, and easily embed the video into D2L Brightspace.
Check with your instructor for any variations of these instructions.

Review your assignment instructions to see what you will need to share.
Make any final edits to your document or other shared content that you will be showing on your screen during the recording.
Make sure the content you need to share is visible on your computer screen.

From the upper right corner, select "Host' and select "With Video On"
Once you have started the meeting, select your Audio and Video options, and Share.
You will be provided with options for what you want to "Share." This may include your "Screen" or "Desktop" (everything that is seen on your screen will be in the recording), or "Application windows" (specific items that are open on your screen.) Select the option that fits best with your needs.

From your Zoom menu bar, select the icon for "Record" and select "Record to the cloud." (Hint: If you don't see the Record option, look in the "More" menu.)
Begin your presentation.
When you are finished, you can either "End" the meeting, or "Stop" recording first and then End the meeting.

The video will begin processing, and will be saved both in your Zoom account under "Recordings" and in Kaltura MediaSpace.
You will probably receive two emails to your Minnesota State Outlook account: one from Zoom and one from Kaltura Media. You may open these emails if you would like, but you don't need to.
After approximately 15-30 minutes, your video should be processed. To check on the progress of your recording, navigate to mediaspace.minnstate.edu to see your recording. You may see a message that says "Media is being processed."

Once your recording is ready, follow these steps to embed it into D2L, according to your assignment instructions.

Navigate to your D2L Discussion or Assignment, or other D2L location, according to your assignment's instructions.
Look for the "Insert Stuff" icon along the top of the field - this icon looks like the play button on a remote control. (Hint: If you don't find the Insert Stuff icon, you will find it in the "Other Insert Options" icon.)
Select the option for Kaltura Media
Find your recording and select the blue "Embed" button
You can now "Preview" the recording if desired, and then select the blue "Insert" button
Follow the prompts to either Save and Close or Submit, etc., to finalize your submission.

You can also share the Kaltura video's URL link in D2L by following the steps below.

Navigate to mediaspace.minnstate.edu
Select the video you want to share
From the Actions menu in the lower right corner of the video, select "Publish"
Select "Unlisted" and then "Save"
Select the "Share" option. Copy the link as prompted, by either right-clicking and selecting "Copy", OR use Ctrl-C on your PC keyboard or Command-C on a Mac.
Navigate back to D2L, and "Paste" the link where your instructor has indicated, according to your assignment instructions.
