Installing Zoom
The web browser client will download automatically when you start or join your first Zoom meeting.
By default, all recordings made in Zoom will be uploaded to the cloud and automatically transferred to UTEP's video management system, YuJa. The video will be available in YuJa within an hour after it is transferred, along with its closed-captions. Closed captions can be reviewed and corrected afterwards in YuJa.

Zoom cloud recordings older than 7 days that have been automatically transferred to YuJa will be deleted from Zoom's cloud storage, after which, they will remain in YuJa (permanently) where you can continue to download and manage them. Zoom cloud recordings that have NOT been automatically transferred to YuJa will be deleted from Zoom’s cloud storage after 121 days.
