Live ASL interpreter recording + speaker view

I'm looking forward to testing out this sign language interpretation in a zoom meeting tomorrow. We will have two hired interpreters that will transition every 15 minutes. We've tested this out and it looks great live, but we also need a good recording for archival purposes. For the recording, I've enabled the sign language interpreter recording in my "Settings," however this seems to just trigger a separate video file of the ASL interpreter along with a separate speaker view video file. Is there no way to have a recording that has both speaker view + interpreter in the same video file when you download it from the cloud - or are separate video recordings our only option? I'm also curious if a "local" recording to someone's local machine will trigger a different view as a workaround to see that ASL interpreter.

Thank you in advance for any advice!

@KB101 - I am sorry to say that I had never noticed this before, but it does appear that the Interpreter and Speaker recordings are separate. I would encourage you enter a Feature Request for having the sign-language interpreter view overlaid on the speaker video since the 2 of them should be paired up to be most useful.

As for local recording, it will record what that specific participant is viewing. While it is possible that someone viewing the interpreter would be able to get both the speaker and interpreter in the recording, I suspect it would also only get the speaker view since the the interpreter is on a different channel than the main session, and I can find no notes or references indicating that changes were implemented to include the additional channel in a local recording.

Hello!

I'm facing a similar issue of trying to use Zoom's new ASL interpreter function, which produces separate windows of the ASL interpreters and the main speakers/screen share screen. Has anyone found a way to produce a recording that syncs the ASL and main speaker/screenshare window? Or do we still need to revert to spotlighting ASL interpreters as regular panelists?

Thank you for this feedback! We used the sign language interpretation feature (rather than gallery) and had to splice the videos together outside of Zoom. Not ideal, but was a preferable experience for webinar attendees to have the ASL interpretation in a separate window during the webinar itself. Will submit feedback to Zoom on this!

If you use the Zoom viewer to watch the recordings, it does give you the option to automatically play the interpreter video in sync with the main video. Would be great if it could be exported like that, but at least there is a "simple" answer if you need it...
