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?

@KB1011 and @fireadapted -

I finally had time to test this, and here are my results:

1) Spotlighting is not working for cloud recording, whether interpreting or not.

2) You can get the interpreter in Gallery view, but of course you also get all the other panalists/participants, whether they are actively speaking or not.

3) If you start sign-language interpretation and are recording the sign-language interpreter, viewing the recording in the Zoom Viewer (i.e. Directly in the Zoom Recording page) will give you a little interpreter icon. If you click on this and select the sign-language that you are interested in, the sign-language will be synced with your recording in the upper right hand corner of the browser where you are viewing the recording.

4) If you spotlight the interpreter and whomever is speaking and record locally, you will see the correct recording (local recordings capture exactly what you are seeing in your Zoom window).

@colegs Thank you so much for that follow-up. I think we will try this local record workaround for our next event. And fingers crossed that one day soon we'll be able to record the interpreter in the cloud!
