Zoom Recordings

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.

How it works:

Zoom Retention Schedule

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.

Zoom stores deleted recordings in the trash for 30 days. After 30 days in the trash, the recording is permanently deleted, and it cannot be recovered. Seven days before the recording is deleted permanently, Zoom will email a warning message to the Zoom meeting host.
