Setting recording mode

I shared my screen as host in a Zoom Meeting.  I must have changed something inadvertently because the session is now recorded with the shared screen and only thumbnails of the speakers in the margin.  How do I change settings so that a shared screen is not included in a recording but participants only?

@frgregory thanks for replying. When recording locally, your recording will capture the exact view that you are seeing on your screen. However, if you record to the cloud, you have the option to select your preferred recording layout through your Recording settings: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360025561091-Recording-layouts
