Shared screen with participants on shared content This requires any participant to share their screen and the participant who is recording to have the Record video during screen sharing client setting disabled.

This layout captures only the screen or window that is being shared, with no view of any participants’ video. Shared screen or window only (no participant videos included) When screen sharing stops, the recording will revert to whichever video layout was selected before sharing started.ĭepending on two specific recording settings on the desktop client, namely the Record video during screen sharing and Place video next to the shared screen in the recording settings, a few recording layout variants are possible and detailed below. When a participant begins sharing their screen in a meeting, the local recording will capture the shared content as it is displayed to the participant recording. If you are in Gallery view, the recording will record a grid layout of participants' video. Note: Pinning or spotlighting participants, as well as using a custom gallery order, will be captured in the local recording. If you are in Speaker view, the local recording will only record the video of the active speaker, with the participant changing as different participants speak.

Note: Local recordings are only available when recording with the Zoom desktop client. The host and co-host can start, pause, and stop local recordings, as well as other participants, if given permission by the host to record. As their view of the meeting or webinar changes, such as participants turning video on/off, virtual backgrounds, effects, avatars, changing their personal view of current participants, and screen sharing, the recording layout will follow along. Recording layouts for local recordings are based on the recording participant’s view of the meeting or webinar.

These layouts are captured regardless of what views are used by the host, in contrast to local recordings. With cloud recordings, the content is captured as it passes through Zoom servers, so cloud recordings are not based on any participant’s current view of the meeting, but rather are based on the original host's cloud recording settings set before the meeting starts. If the participant changes to Gallery view, or someone begins sharing, the local recording continues to follow their view of the meeting or webinar. For example, if the host grants permission to a participant to record, and the participant starts a local recording while in Speaker view, the recording layout will also follow in Speaker view. In the case of local recordings, which are recorded to your computer, the captured content is based on how the participant who is recording sees the meeting. Some recording layouts are possible with local recordings, some with cloud recordings, and some that are possible for both. There are several recording layouts for local and cloud recordings depending on the video layout of your meeting.
