This is because of the recording settings in Zoom that marked as more than one recording:

Hiding a recording Resource

  • The recording is a standard Moodle resource with an embedded video. It can be hidden or deleted like any resource in Moodle.
    (Never hide the Zoom event activity, the plugin will not find it and will not embed the recording).
  • If the teacher does not want a recording to show – they can open the session in the zoom.us portal and add it as a link into the section in Moodle without using the Zoom activity.
  • To cancel the recording embedding process in Moodle, add the #noembed tag to the title of the Zoom event in Moodle’s Zoom activity.

Restore a deleted video recording from Moodle

  • Log in to your Vimeo admin portal with your owner account.
  • Search the video by Moodle course ID and open it.
  • Copy the embed HTML code and paste it into a new page resource in Moodle as HTML.
