how to resize webcam in recording?

I used to be able to share desktop (rather than share PowerPoint) and then position my webcam where I wanted it, then stretch to enlarge the webcam to the desired size, and the recording would capture the large webcam because I had positioned in on my shared desktop.  See examples attached.  Now, when I try, the recording always just show the default webcam small size in the upper-right.  How can I achieve the desired result which is to show position and stretch the webcam larger and get it to appear as such in the recording?

Hey @rtasker, within your Zoom desktop client settings > Recording, under 'Record Video during screen share' and ensure that is enabled, however, if 'Place video next to the shared screen in the recordin' is selected... try disabling, which may be preventing you to resize and adjust. 

 

After testing let me know if this helps! This only applies to local recording, by the way. If recording to the cloud we can look further into some settings 😀

I'm having the same problem.  When I record to the cloud - the webcam view is very small and locked on the upper right hand corner of the screen.   When I resize the webcam view while presenting, I can enlarge the webcam view and reposition it.  But the recording reverts back to the tiny window in the upper right.
