If in exceptional cases you are recording a BigBlueButton session in which student(s) are visible, assure you download, transfer and delete the recording according to the instructions below. In case students are not visible, your recording may remain in BigBlueButton.
This page describes the 3 steps for managing your videos that you need to remove from BigBlueButton in Canvas:
- Downloading and deleting videos from BigBlueButton
- Uploading videos into the UT-Vimeo platform
- Embedding videos into Canvas
1. Downloading and deleting videos from BigBlueButton
You can access recordings made with BigBlueButton via the BigBlueButton menu item in your Canvas course(s).
BigBlueButton conferences are grouped in two parts: New Conferences and Concluded Conferences. Both always display the conference name and description.
Conferences that have a recording, display the arrow icon [1]. To view the recording and additional details, click the name of the conference [2].
To replay the conference, click video [1]. You can also view the duration of your conference recording [2].
1. To download your recording, click the video link [1], right-click within the playback area, and choose "Save video as...".
2. To remove the recording in BigBlueButton (Conferences) because of the privacy rules, click the Delete button [3].
2. Uploading videos into the UT-Vimeo platform
The University has a Vimeo Enterprise account for storing and sharing videos. To make it possible for all users to access their own video materials, the LISA department developed a portal for this purpose. You can upload and share videos up to 2Gb. If you want to share larger videos, you can send them via “SURFfilesender” to videoteam@utwente.nl.
Dashboard
Go to https://video-portal.utwente.nl and log in via your AD credentials. After you've logged in, you get an overview similar like this:
Via the New video button you can upload videos to the Vimeo portal. You can choose a local file and fill in the Title, Thumbnail, Description, and privacy settings.

Via the “>” button under the video thumbnail you can see the video details. Go to the privacy tab and click the Add domain button. | |
