Cloud Recording vs. Local Recording differences

I set up my meetings always to have a primary speaker pinned throughout the meeting. 

 

Cloud recordings.......    Cloud Recordings don't display the shared screen side by side  (screen and pinned speaker) properly.  It seems to bounce between speakers while screen sharing, regardless of pinned speaker.

 

Local recordings....  I did the same setup, and when I shared my screen, it displayed properly with the pinned speaker only, side by side with the shared screen.

 

Why is this?    Workaround?

Hi, MIicroMacro

Me too.
There doesn't seem to be a workaround at the moment.

I have a similar problem.  I always spotlight a participant, not letting Zoom to spotlight the active speaker.  The local recording show exactly that, the same that all participants see in Speaker View.  However, the Cloud recording ignores the spotlighting and reverts to the default Active Speaker spotlight.  I reported this to Zoom in the feedback, let's see what they answer.
