Viewing Auslan Interpreters in recording whilst screen sharing

[LyndadK]

Hello all

We are running a series of meetings that are being recorded TO THE CLOUD. We want these recordings to have the speaker and their slides/share screen but also have the Auslan interpreters visible at all times. To do this, we

1. Spotlighted the speaker & Auslan interpreter

2. Hit record to the cloud (so it uploads to Vimeo automatically

The recording has the Auslan interpreter viewable at all times EXCEPT when we screen share. During these times there is only the speaker in a small corner box. Ideally there are TWO "speakers" viewable, the actual speaker making noise, and the interpreter who is not. Again, both are spotlighted.

I'm not sure if it's a simple solution of changing my "speaker view when sharing" to have more than one person viewable, or if we need to record to the computer to allow more recording options. I would prefer not to have a separate Auslan interpreter link that creates its own recording. 

If we need to change the "speaker view when sharing" to allow more than one person to be viewed, will I need to ensure that the speakers who are sharing their screen to also allow more than one speaker to be viewable (not ideal)? 

many thanks

Hey @LyndadK 

The most reliable way to ensure your recording captures multiple spotlighted participants (the speaker and the interpreter) and the shared screen exactly as you see it during the meeting is to use Local Recording (Record to the Computer).

• Local Recording records the meeting exactly as the recording host views it on their desktop client.

• The host of the meeting should set their view to the Side-by-Side mode (which displays the shared screen and the video panels next to each other) and make sure both the speaker and the interpreter are spotlighted.

• The person recording locally needs to have the Zoom desktop client installed and have sufficient hard drive space.

If you are using a recent version of Zoom and have access to it, you could consider using the dedicated Language Interpretation feature.

• This feature keeps the interpreter visible in a separate video feed that participants can choose to view or not.

• Crucially, if you enable the setting to Record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately in your Cloud Recording settings, Zoom can generate separate video files for each view, which might include a separate video track for the shared screen and the interpreter (though this often requires post-production editing).

You mentioned you'd prefer not to have a separate link/recording, so local recording is the more straightforward workaround for getting your desired layout in a single video file.
