[Academic] Important: Zoom videos being deleted

[Brian]

Hi Stefan,

I agree. I suspect this is to save storage costs on the Zoom servers.

As this is coming from the University, and will have been decided at a 
high level I suspect, I think any such request should come from an 
organised response from several HoD's, Deans etc.

Regards,

Brian.
