ACCESS ENDING

The APSU Zoom contract is ending and will remain accessible only until December 14, 2026.

We are transitioning away from Zoom. Zoom will remain available through December 14, 2026. Up until then, you will be able to create, host, and record meetings as well as access and download your Zoom media.

Transition to Microsoft Teams

Zoom will be unavailable for any use. Any meetings scheduled after December 14th will be inaccessible. It is strongly recommended that you begin transitioning to Microsoft Teams now, so you’ll be prepared to use it exclusively once Zoom is no longer available. Also, make sure to download any Zoom media you want to keep before you lose access.   

APSU is a Microsoft Institution. As such, we already have access to Microsoft Teams, which provides all the major capabilities you experienced in Zoom and more.

Transfer Your Course Media to D2L

Don't lose your content!

You must download any content you wish to keep before December 14th, 2026.

1. Access & Assess Your Media

   The easiest way to access all of your Zoom media is through the APSU Zoom Portal. Once logged in with your single sign-on credentials, "Whiteboards" and "Recordings & Transcripts" are available on the left menu.

   Review all of your Zoom Media (i.e. cloud recordings and whiteboards) to determine which ones you want to keep.

2. Delete and/or Download

   Delete and/or download your Zoom media through the APSU Zoom web portal.

   Download if:

   • The recording will be used in the future.

   • Others in your department or across programs reference or reuse the video.

   • The session content is not available in other course materials.

   • The recording is needed for accreditation, compliance, or assessment purposes.

   Delete if:

   • The recording contains FERPA‑protected student information.

   • The recording is already backed up (e.g., saved locally as an MP4).

   • There is no plan to use the recording in the future.

   • The recording is outdated or low quality.

   • The recording includes copyrighted material shared only under limited use licenses.

3. Transfer Course Videos to D2L

   After downloading your Zoom content, you can then upload your course recordings to D2L’s media management tool.

   You can add Zoom videos to D2L by:

   1. Uploading Zoom recordings into the D2L Media Library

   2. Then embed the video directly from the D2L Media Library using Add Existing Activities > Media Library
