   • For Zoom local recordings: Open the Zoom app on the computer you used to record it, click Meetings at the top, click Recordings in the upper left, find the recording in the list and click on it, and then click Open to show the location of the recording on your computer.
2. Navigate to MiVideo

Note: Depending on the recording quality settings, videos can take as much as 10-15 times the duration of the recording to appear in your course.

Recommended: Order captions once your video is done uploading. Note that caption files from Zoom cannot be uploaded to MiVideo. The recommended process is to request new captions in MiVideo. ​​​​​​​Learn more about MiVideo editing tools.
