Zoom Recording - Adding links to Moodle LMS

Purpose

We recommend linking Zoom Meeting recordings in your Moodle course. UNC Asheville's Center for Teaching and Learning Instructional Technology Team does not recommend embedding Zoom Meeting or Webinar recorded videos in your Moodle course.  Embedding large videos, such as Zoom recordings, in Moodle causes extremely slow Moodle page loading and can break your Moodle site.

See  How to Link Google Drive Zoom Videos in Moodle  for more information.

Link Video from Google Drive to Moodle

The following steps indicate how to link video(s) from Google Drive and add it to Moodle.
