Avoid Recording Participant Videos When Others Share Screen

[elyse33]

When the Zoom meeting host uses the recording feature to record the session, how can they avoid capturing all participants' video feeds when a participant (not the host) is sharing their screen? After the meeting ends, the recorded video shows that the participants’ video windows overlap and block part of the shared screen.

The host can PAUSE the recording before he allows other participants to share; however, this also means that any audio (comments or shared audio) those participants provide will also NOT BE RECORDED. To do any other form of recording would require editing the finished Zoom recording. If you are concerned about the participants video window overlapping the shared screen you can request that the participant use a different template before clicking share (see the layouts and options on the side of the share window - click layouts and options in the lower part of the share window if you do not see this).
