Before you save your files locally and on OneDrive go to the folder you would like to save to. Right click and create New >> Folder, and name the folder BBB Recordings.

Sharing of these recordings for the coming semester can be utilized sharing to a folder on your OneDrive called BBB Recordings to store these videos. Once you are ready to make these recordings available to students, you can set permissions for sharing the folder to either allow - anyone in Mary Immaculate College with the link to have access or only specific people or a group. This shared link can then be shared on your Moodle course page for those students to access.
