for students / participants

Handout for students and participants in Zoom online conferences to protect against unwanted recording of these Zoom meetings

Organizers (hosts) of Zoom meetings have the option of recording them. A recording must be announced in good time before the start of the recording.

Participants have the option of not being recorded. To do this, the camera and/or microphone must be switched off at the latest when the recording is announced. Contributions to the event can still be made via the chat functionality; chats will not be recorded.

Once the recording has been activated by the host, each participant receives a pop-up window informing them of the recording and offering them the option of continuing ("Continue" button) or ending the meeting ("Cancel" button). It should be noted that the recording is already running while the query is being made. If you want to take part in the event without being recorded, press "Continue" with the microphone and camera switched off.

Participants who only dial in during the meeting are also informed that the meeting is being recorded and can choose between "Continue" and "Cancel". However, this information is only provided when they join the meeting for the first time. If a participant leaves the meeting and dials in again, the information is omitted.

An ongoing recording is displayed to each participant at the top left of the screen.

After recording pauses or during a second recording in the meeting (stop recording and start again later), no further information is displayed via a pop-up window. However, a recording in progress can be recognized at the top left of the screen.
