The Zoom recording retention process will be reinstated in the University of Wisconsin System (except for UW Madison) instance of Zoom on Thursday, October 28. The new retention period for Zoom cloud recordings will be 180 days.

The retention process was temporarily paused to address account consolidation issues.  

The new recording retention period of 180 days is an increase from the former retention period of 120 days. Overall storage usage will continue to be monitored, and further adjustments may be required if storage grows more quickly than expected. 

All Zoom users are encouraged to retain only the necessary recordings in Zoom and move them to longer-term storage locations such as Kaltura if the recording should be retained for longer than 180 days.
