Manage recorded files

Manage recorded files in Zoom — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I need the recorded class sessions from last week moved into our shared drive and labeled for module review. Find the meeting on Tuesday at 10:00 with Dr. Reynolds, confirm the recording completed, rename the file to “Reynolds_Tue10_Module3_Recording.mp4,” and upload to the Curriculum/Module3 folder. Tell me if any recordings failed or are shorter than the scheduled time.

Before I hand the recordings to the review team, make them easy to navigate. Surface speaker timestamps up front, add the module and topic to the filename, and flag any sections where audio drops or participants join late. Highlight where captions are missing or auto-transcript confidence is low so reviewers don’t waste time.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I opened the recordings list and the Tuesday session shows ‘processing’ past the normal window.

The Tuesday 10:00 session with Dr. Reynolds is still processing two hours after the class ended; Kate in curriculum needs it by 16:00 and I can’t tell if it’s corrupted. What likely caused the delay, who should I call first—IT or Dr. Reynolds—and what immediate steps will most likely recover a usable file?

Become — change the pattern

We keep losing time chasing missing or badly labeled recordings each week.

Every week I spend hours hunting recordings and relabeling files from our sessions with Dr. Reynolds, Sara, and the guest lecturers. Where am I leaking time and credibility with the curriculum team, and what single habit change (naming convention, a checklist for hosts, or a role assignment) will stop this from repeating?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
