The HIPAA instance is to be utilized by University personnel tasked with remote communication involving sensitive health information such as those who work in health care and human resources program areas.
University personnel Zoom accounts are allotted to one Zoom instance, either the Regular Instance or the HIPAA Instance.
If you are migrating from a Regular Instance to HIPAA Instance, you must download any cloud recordings you have associated with your account PRIOR to your account being associated with a HIPAA Instance. If you not download and save offline (i.e. save locally on your computer), you risk losing your cloud recordings.
