How to Record Meeting without Participants video & audio names being displayed?

I'm new to Zoom; I know how to invite others to a meeting without their video being turned on. However, in that case their names are displayed in smaller boxes,  showing when they're speaking.

 

For a meeting, if I just want to record it and only see my video & audio, as well hear the audio of the other participants but not see the smaller boxes displaying the names of the audio participants -- how to I achieve this?

 

Thanks for your feedback.

    @JohnnySPK , you can un-show the participants name by toggling on/off the application's setting>video>always display participant's name on their videos.

     

    Video

    View your video feed and change your camera.

    Camera

    • Camera: Select the camera you want Zoom to use.
    • Camera settings: Select Original Ratio (usually a 4:3 aspect ratio) or HD (usually 16:9 aspect ratio), as well as Mirror my video, which will horizontally flip your video. 

    My Video

    • Touch up my appearance: Apply a softening effect to skin to minimize the visibility of imperfections. 
    • Adjust for low light: Improves video brightness and quality in low light surroundings. 
      • Choose between Auto (selected by default) and Manual, which provides a slider for how much you want to increase video brightness. 

    • Always display participant name on their videos: Display participant's name : on their video.
    • Stop my video when joining a meeting: Automatically disable your video when joining a meeting.
    • Always show video preview dialog when joining a video meeting
    • Hide non-video participants: Hide participants' thumbnail if they don't have video enabled. Thumbnails for non-video participants display their name.
    • See myself as the active speaker while speaking: Place your video as the primary active speaker on your own screen when you speak.
    • Maximum participants displayed per screen in Gallery View
      Choose between 25 participants or 49 participants (if supported by your device)
    • Advanced: View advanced video settings

    • Always display participant name on their videos: Display participant's name : on their video.

    This setting is unchecked, but the names still appear on the recordings of my meetings. 

     

    Any additional suggestions?
