Zoom Bug for Automatic Meeting Recording

When a series of Zoom meetings is created through the Canvas integration and set to auto-record to the cloud, that setting gets turned off if a user with a non-student role clicks the Zoom tab. This issue has been reported to the vendor and they are working to resolve it as soon as possible. We recommend that instructors verify that Zoom meetings are recording once they start.
