You can follow these guides to add a link to your Zoom meeting room in your LEO unit.
For now, 50 participants or less, seems to be the "magic number". The meeting can technically cater for 300 per meeting, but quality degrades at higher numbers.
Yes, especially if the subject matter is still relevant. You might need to instruct your students to ignore announcements or comments specific to that year's delivery.
At this stage, we do not recommend running big (more than 50 participants) live lectures in Zoom. Large Zoom sessions will likely have degraded experiences for students and staff (incl. "frozen video streams" and audio issues).

Recordings saved to your computer or the cloud will be available when they're finished processing. The time needed to process them depends on the length of the recording, which may be anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour.

Recordings saved to the cloud will be available to view in the Zoom app or through the Zoom website. Additionally, they will automatically be uploaded to your Echo360 library. Cloud recordings will be removed after a certain amount of time, whereas the Echo360 version will remain in your library indefinitely.
