Browse to https://onedrive.uidaho.edu/ and click on the ZoomRecordings folder. Each file is named after the Zoom meeting date and description. There are typically three files for a single meeting:

If you need to share a recording to people outside of the university, first you must consider whether there may be a FERPA violation. Sharing class recordings with those who are not class members may not be compliant with FERPA. See https://www.uidaho.edu/registrar/faculty/ferpa for information on FERPA.
Look for the meeting MP4 video file, select it and click on the Share toolbar button.
Click on the pencil icon and select Can view from the drop down menu to share the file read-only.
Search for your Canvas Group or the individual user and click Send to share the file.
If it does not violate FERPA, click People with existing access can use the link
Use the Specific people option to share with someone outside of the university. The Anyone with the link option should only be used for videos that can be made public.
Note: if your Zoom meeting topic matches a folder name, new recordings will be automatically uploaded to that shared folder.
This is identical to the individual file sharing but requires initially creating a folder based on the Zoom meeting topic and then sharing the folder. The sharing can be done once.
Go to the "ZoomRecordings" folder and click on the New button in the toolbar to create a new folder. Use the same name as your Zoom meeting topic.
Select the folder and follow the instructions above to share the folder with the Canvas Group.
Move Zoom Recording files into the newly shared folder.
