Keep Participant Continuously in View When Others Talking

Clap

Hi, I would like to record a question an answer interview but don’t want the view to jump from interviewer to participant.  So this means the interviewer is still in the shot until the participant starts to respond and then the camera flips back to the participant. Makes it hard to cut clean bits of the clip in post production as the interviewer is still in the shot fair the first bit until participant starts to talk….Pinning the participant doesn’t seem to work either. Is this correct and what can I do to keep the interviewee on screen the whole time even when the questions are being asked please? Any help would be great as it’s for work  and can’t seem to find answer anywhere. Thank you, Connie

Hello Connie,

 

If you are not screen sharing, and it's just you and the interviewee, you can go to Settings > Recording > Cloud Recording and check "Record gallery view with shared screen". This will record both you and the interviewee in your cloud recording. 

 

Alternatively, if you pin both videos and record locally, this should record just the two of you as well.

 

Hope this helps!

We also advise using local recording for this use case. You can select to "hide non video participants" in Zoom to make sure logos aren't captured. Set your view to gallery view. Now, only ppl with a camera on will be on screen. Have the moderator toggle on and off their camera to come on screen or leave view. As our friend above mentioned, this is effective when no screen sharing is taking place.

 

Alternatively, you can use the option to spotlight folks to put them in view with this method.

 

We're hopeful that cloud recording will be improved to keep up with all of these great new options Zoom has put out.
