Record the meeting automatically - This option enables Zoom to record the session automatically when the meeting opens. The host can select to record the Zoom session to:

1. Local computer - The recording will be processed and stored on the Host's computer, which can then later be uploaded into the Media Library.

2. Cloud (recommended) - The recording will be processed and stored in Yale’s Zoom Cloud storage. It can be transferred to the course’s Media Library by request to YLS AV.

Set up co-hosts (aka alternative hosts) for your sessions. They can start your meeting without you, and manage some features of your session.
