When I record a meeting usually my thumbnail shows up right to the shared screen. I recently recorded a Zoom meeting where the thumbnail showed up on the screen. I prefer the latter. How can I replicate this? I could not find anything in the settings.

By default, thumbnails are displayed in the upper right corner. To move the thumbnail to another location, tap the corner where you want the thumbnail to appear. Tap twice to increase the size of the thumbnail. Tap Off to delete the thumbnail.
Hope this helps.

Hi James, Thanks so much. I meant the thumbnail as it is shown in the recording. Both times it was located in the top right corner, yet one time it appeared on the slide while the other time it appeared next to it. Any idea how I can influence that is much appreciated. Thanks

In the Zoom app. Enter Settings. Select Recording on the left hand side. There should be a box with a check mark reading "Record video during screen sharing"
Under is it should say "Place video next to shared screen in the recording" Make sure that box is unchecked.

Hi, Thanks so much. Unfortunately I cannot find the suggested solutions. This is what i see:
Cloud recording
ModifiedReset
Record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately
Record audio-only files
Record the Interpretation
Advanced cloud recording settings

Hello,
Are you using dual monitor mode? Dual monitor mode will change which layouts are available to you.
This Zoom support article explains your recording layout options:

I have the same issue as SuperFoodSue. Even if I move the thumbnail to e.g. the bottom right corner, when I then look back at the recording, it has defaulted back to the top right hand corner, which is really boring as my presentations need the top right corner for content.
It's nothing to do with dual monitor mode and tapping corners doesn't work.
Surely there is some way to fix the thumbnail where you want it. All other screen recording apps seem to have this (but I am already paying Zoom so don't want to pay anyone else! 🙂
Much appreciate any solutions! Thanks
