Let&#8217;s setup this scenario to illustrate how this works. Professor A is hosting a class in Zoom. Students B and C are attending. Everyone is using the chat feature of Zoom. Here&#8217;s the parameters of how Zoom recording\/saving works:<\/p>\n<p><strong>People can only save what they can see. <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>So when Professor A starts recording the meeting the <strong>public<\/strong> chats will be saved since Professor A can see them. If B and C are private chatting the professor cannot see them (that&#8217;s why they&#8217;re private) so they are not saved by the professor&#8217;s recording.<\/li>\n<li>Suppose student B private chats Professor A about a grade question during the recording. Since Professor A can see that chat it is now saved. So Professor A will want to delete that from the chat file if they are going make the chat available to the class with the recording.<\/li>\n<li>Suppose student B private chats student C about Professor A. If student C saves their chat they will have saved that private chat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One thing to keep in mind is that in Zoom a professor is no different than a student in terms of what they can do. Everyone has the same type of account in Zoom&#8217;s eyes. The idea of a professor or student is something we&#8217;ve constructed that Zoom knows nothing about. So in the above example Professor A could instead be a student hosting a group project meeting for their accounting class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every so often we get a question about private chats and meeting recordings.
