• Share recordings anywhere, including in Sakai or Canvas courses 
• Automatically import/save Zoom recordings for feature-rich reviewing/sharing 
• Schedule or manually start recordings in over 150 classrooms and conference rooms 
• Make recordings from anywhere from a laptop or mobile device  
• Search for and jump to a keyword in a recording’s audio transcription or table of contents, or navigate via thumbnails through an accompanying slide presentation
