Admin Video library

The admin Video library lists every past class that has a recording — whether it is saved, still archiving, waiting for approval, or failed — as a list of classes. It is the place to answer “which of my classes have a recording, and which need attention?”

It is deliberately not the same page as the Zoom recordings page. That page lists archive jobs — files, bytes, attempts — for whoever administers the Zoom account. This one lists classes, for whoever runs them: the same recordings, a different question.

  1. Open your organization’s admin area.

  2. In the admin menu, under Calendars, choose Video library.

Anyone with Create events and edit event details (or the owner) can open it. It does not require the integrations permission, so a teacher can reach their own recordings without being handed the Zoom account.

The admin Video library: search, six status filter pills, and one row per class with its status pill.

Every past class with a recording, newest first. Each row:

  • The event’s poster, with a play icon when the recording is watchable and a record icon otherwise, and the total length in the corner.
  • The class name.
  • A status pill — the same words the recordings page uses — when there is something to say: Needs admin approval, Archiving, 1 failed, Stopped responding, 2 of 2 archived, and so on.
  • When the class was, and its instructors.

Clicking a row opens the event’s own Recording page, where the files, the preview and the stats are. Nothing is actioned from the library itself.

  • Search by class name.
  • Filter by status using the pills: Needs admin approval, Stopped responding, Failed, Archiving, Saved, Cancelled. Pick several to combine them. These are the same six buckets as the recordings page, so a filter means the same thing in both places.
  • Refresh re-reads the list; it does not poll on its own.

Scrolling to the bottom loads more until “That’s every recording.”
