titleCan I stop my participants from recording my lecture in Zoom?

The ability of participants to record within Zoom is already set to "only with host permission". So, when a student tries to record, then you would receive a pop-up requesting permission to record. Learn more.

For faculty who want to limit recording by students:

  1. Provide an announcement to class with policy and consequences for not declaring permission, and enforce it

    1. Discuss privacy and trust concerns with students

  2. Disable join before host (deny/do not make participants as hosts without agreement of behavior)

  3. Never grant students permission to record (default settings requires student to request permission, and permission can only be granted by Host role)

  4. Disable recording as needed (currently an all-on, all-off setting for both hosts and participants with granularity by role)

  5. Watch webcams for other devices pointed at participants' laptop or screens
