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.

Good afternoon @colegs and @fireadapted!

 

I was just checking in to see if there have been any updates in Zoom with the issue of the two windows being recorded separately. We have not used the new sign language interpreter view yet and have continued spotlighting our ASL interpreters for now or making them panelists in a webinar. I did submit a feature request on syncing the speaker view + interpreter window after the event/record, and thought I'd check in. Hope everyone is well!

@KB1011 - Unfortunately, I have not seen any updates yet.

@KB1011 - Are you looking on the Zoom Client?  It should be in the upper right corner of the client itself, not the web dashboard.
