Zoom host window covers screen share when I record

Hi can anyone help? When I record a zoom session for training later my little zoom video box of me talking covers the right hand corner of the screen share! I need to move this as the top right hand corner has information I need to show. 
how do I make the shared screen smaller so my video box doesn’t encroach on the shared screen? 
thanks in anticipation!

Hello @EmzWright,

So the problem statement is, on your recording that includes screen sharing and a video frame of you as the active speaker in the upper right corner, the active speaker video frame hides vital information on the screen shared presentation.  

 

The solution is to modify your cloud recording settings to disable the option “Record active speaker with shared screen”.  To do this , in the zoom portal, navigate to the Settings option in the left navigation bar followed by the Recording tab at the top of the next page.  Scroll down to Cloud Recording  section to see the options available below.  Disable or remove the check mark from the Record active speaker with shared screen.  For more information, please see the hyperlinked support article Changing Basic and Advance Cloud Recording Settings

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. 

Is there an option to move the speaker video out of top right corner? Like lower right corner or other location of the screen.

Thanks again!

Hello @JerryC ,

At the moment,  the capability to choose the location of the active speaker for a cloud or local recording is not available.  Please submit a feature request at this feedback page.   https://zoom.us/feed

 

Thank you!

Had this same issue. Found that if the one recording is not the same person as the one sharing the screen, the participants are not placed over the shared screen.
