How to access a Recording

Your instructor may record a meeting room so that you, or other students, can view the information that they went over at a later date.

• The most common way that you will access a Recording is by going to the Zoom section of the course and clicking the Cloud Recording tab
• Other places that the instructor may have the Recording links listed are:
  • In the Content area of the course
  • In an Email sent to your PCC email address

To access a recording you may be asked to enter a passcode. If you are accessing the recording from the Cloud Recording tab then it is likely that your browser copied the code prior to you getting to the page asking you for the code, so you should be able to paste the code (Ctrl+V [Windows/Chromebook] | Cmd+V [Mac]) into the box and then click Watch Recording. You can also paste by clicking the Edit menu and selecting the Paste option.

If your instructor provided you with a direct link to a Recording and it is asking you for a passcode then look for further information from your instructor on what that passcode is, or reach out to them to obtain that information.
