Screen galery view in a recorded video

I have recorded a meeting with multiple participants. During the recording, I could see all the participants on the screen as equally sized tiles. Hence, I assumed that this is what is being recorded. My thinking was... I get/record what I see... To my horror, the actual recording is only showing the screen of a speaker (one speaker at a time) and hides everyone else. 
Questions:
a) Is there a way to "switch" the processed recording to a gallery view?

b) What are the settings that will allow me to consistently record an entire gallery of panelists and only highlight the speaker while keeping the rest of the participants in view (I assumed that this is what "Multi-speaker view" is supposed to accomplish)?

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @EllaBella.

 

Unfortunately, recording does not reflect what any one individual sees on their screen.  (One notable exception: Using Production Studio in a Zoom Events or Webinars Plus webinar.)  Even live-streams have their own unique layout.  Both the recording and live-stream are fairly predictable, but they are not controllable.

 

If you are going to want a recorded output in a specific layout, you would have to set up your recording to provide Share Screen, Gallery, and Speaker views, then edit the files using an app like Davinci or Premiere Pro to get exactly what you're looking for.

 

Zoom's forte is not "production video", but rather "getting people together".  There are additional tools you can use to enhance your recording and viewing experience, but they generally require special software and expertise.
