Screen view vs recorded view

[KathyT]

I want to run a workshop where I can see the participants, but for the recording, I'm the only or main on visible. Is this possible?
How would I do that? What settings would I need in the meeting?

So couple things you can try:

In your Zoom cloud settings, click Settings on the left, then across the top of the page, click Recordings.  Under the options for Cloud Recording, I would uncheck record gallery view with shared screen, and under the option to record separately, I would only check active speaker and shared screen, or have everything unchecked there.

If you have enough people with cameras on, I would also Spotlight yourself, this way you're always on camera even if someone else starts speaking.  You'll always stay the active speaker this way.
