Slides as a virtual background video issue

Hello, I'm starting to record some videos for training. I'm using the slides as a virtual background feature which is a beta I know. 

 

It shows my self-view and also the video of me in the corner. I click hide self-view and the video of me is still in the corner which is what I want, but when I look back at the recording it just has the self-view box video of me in the top right, not the video of me in the bottom corner. 

 

Hope that makes sense. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've attached a screen for what I want and attached a screen of what the recording looks like

Check which version of Zoom you are on, make sure you're somewhat updated.  

 

Also, you must record locally to your machine for the final recording to have you superimposed over the slides.  If you record to the cloud or are on Zoom version lower than 5.2.0, if will record as normal screen share.

Brilliant, I'm using the latest version but it was because I was recording to the cloud. Works as you described. Thanks
