How can I record the meeting showing only me as host but not the participants?

I would like to record a meeting.
In the recording I don’t want the participants to appear on video, but they should be allowed to have cameras on during the meeting.
How can I do that?

You can record the meeting while only recording the active speaker or shared screen instead of the gallery view. In the Zoom recording settings, disable gallery view recording, so participants can still keep their cameras on during the meeting but they won’t appear in the final recording.

Thank you. We tested it and it worked. Was not so easy to find the right settings. But your answer helped a lot!

Hello -- thank you for this. But if someone in the meeting talks, will it record them? Is there a way to record a meeting and only capture the video of the host but audio of all participants in case they want to participate but don’t consent to having their face recorded? Or do we just have to have them turn their camera off?
