Recording options

[actsleepy2day]

I finished a recording a bit ago and when I viewed the videos, they switched the camera back and forth with whoever was speaking. I needed the camera to stay on me the entire time. Is there a way to get a recording that had the camera on me the whole time?

Hey @actsleepy2day, it depends on your recording settings. For your next recording, you might want to enable 'Record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately' under Settings > Recording if that helps.

If you're recording to the cloud, your best bet might be to spotlight yourself so you always stay as active speaker.  Note that at least 3 people must have their cameras turned on for spotlight to be available.

You can also Pin videos too, but that only affects your view, so might only work best if recording locally.

I think Spotlight is the better option personally.
