I have to record interviews and I always hide my self view and it works but since yesterday it is now recording me when I speak in the interviews, which I dont want, why is it doing that, and how do I make it stop?

Hi, @dancer1927,
This behavior is not new. Hide Self View only stops showing you your own video.
If your camera is on, even with Hide Self View enabled, it will still be shown on other participant’s screens, and included in recordings.
Turn off your camera by clicking Stop Video if you do not want to appear anywhere – such as other participant’s screens and recordings.

I do interviews for my job and all my interviews I hide my self and record and they never show me but I need the people I am interviewing to see me , but yesterday the recordings started showing me whenever I spoke, it has never done this in the past 2-3 years that I have been interviewing so something changed.

Is that the only way to get off the video totally?
If I turned off the video completely, participants would not be able to see me.
In the past it works (Hide Self) the video will not show my face.
Now when I play back I see myself even though I hide self.

Actually, I recorded my podcast today and I also hide my self view. The camera light was showing on and my pod cast participant confirmed that they can see me fine. Needless to say I was surprised that it only recorded my audio for the whole podcast episode which I did not want. What could have gone wrong? I also for the first time opted to save the recording locally instead of on the cloud. Could that have had anything to do with it?

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @carstenkrause .
Yes, the layouts between Cloud and Local recordings can be different. Cloud setup is controlled by your settings on the Zoom Web Portal at https://zoom.us/profile/setting on the Recording tab. Local setup is controlled by your Zoom Desktop app's Settings window in the Recordings tab there.
I recommend two things:
I'd also recommend testing with the Local recording settings too... just as a backup.
Here are some resources for you to learn more about various recording settings and topics:
