Set up Zoom once

Four checkboxes in your Zoom account, then every cloud recording comes out as separate camera, screen and audio files — exactly what LessonCut needs.

1. 01

   Open Zoom settings

   zoom.us → Settings → Recording → Cloud recording (on).

2. 02

   Record separately

   Tick “Record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately”, then tick Active speaker and Shared screen under it.

3. 03

   Keep the mixed backup

   Tick “Record active speaker with shared screen” as well. If the separate files ever fail, LessonCut can use this one.

4. 04

   Audio and quality

   Tick “Optimize the recording for 3rd party video editor” and “Separate audio file of each participant”. Under Meeting, turn on HD video.

5. 05

   Record to the cloud

   In the class: Record → Record to the Cloud, camera on, share your screen. Each start/stop makes one recording block = one lesson.

6. 06

   Then

   Connect Zoom in Settings (Creator plan) and the lesson appears here by itself — or download Speaker view, Shared screen and Audio only from the recording page and upload them.

Zoom's cloud camera is 640×360 unless Zoom support enables 1080p cloud recording for your account. It looks fine in the camera card and acceptable when big.
