Hi Zoom Forum,

I have a dilemma, I will be taking an econ exam that is open note and will need to share and screen record while taking the exam. Is it possible to share and record two monitors in zoom, I would like to have the exam up on one monitor and have my notes open on the other monitor while recording? If this doesnt work I will have to print off my notes and only record the exam on one monitor.

Thanks

I haven't seen an option to record multiple screens; I even experimented using the “Advanced Options” of “Share a Portion of the Screen” and span the area across my two screens side-by-side but it only recorded the Area of the Active Screen I was using at the moment and not the whole area.

If this is a common thing for you do and need, what I would suggest is to replace both your screens for an Ultra-Wide one where you can open both Applications/Windows side-by-side with a single monitor/display. It could be an interesting feature request for Zoom to allow Multiple Screen Recordings.

Vinnie,

Thank you for your response. I was afraid that would be the answer, and I agree this would be an interesting request for Zoom to allow Multiple Screen Recordings. Wish i had an ultrawide screen, however, i just purchased two brand new widescreen side by side monitors. Oh well paper notes it is.

Thanks again

Is it possible having your notes in your Mobile (or a Tablet) that can also join the meeting as another participant? The recording will include them all, and there is an option in Zoom to record Active Speaker, Gallery View and Shared Screen separately. Not sure I fully understand your use-case but it might be an option. Good luck.
