titleURGENT NOTICE

Info
titleUrgent announcement

28 Oct 2021, 5PM
There were a few reports from NUS users that Setting the Playback range (trimming) for Zoom Cloud Recordings will cause the recording to be wrongly trimmed and there is no way to recover/reinstate the original recording.

Zoom is currently investigating this.

While this is ongoing, please refrain from editing the recording.

Alternatively, you may download the recording / save it locally before editing it using a 3rd party application, and reupload it to LumiNUS Multimedia or NUS Mediaweb.

Thank you.
NUS-SG Zoom Admin
