hi Guys
in Germany we have crazy laws when it comes to PI. I would like to know how i can hide the attendees List, names and profile pictures on the recording? I need to know to oblige german law and protect PI of each attendee as i want to provide the recording to others that missed the session.
Can you please show me? that must be possible.

Hi, Anja.
You can configure to hide participant names and other privacy options in local and cloud recording. Though some options differ between cloud and local. I would advise you to look into it and see what is the best choices.
Also, when a recording starts, a consent must be given by the participant. This can be customized, depending on the type of account.

Hi ZzZz,
thanks for your reply. that does not answer my question unfortunately. I don't want to hide the participant names, i want to hide their video while recording, so that only the presenter/teacher is recorded. So when i save the recording on cloud solution and i want to pass it to someone that missed that session/course. This person should only see the presenter/teacher, no participant names, their videos, the chat, nothing of that sorts.
hope i am more clear with what i want to find out. 🙂
Thank you

Hi, Anja.
Understood. I would recommend trying only the Cloud recording option "Record active speaker with shared screen".
As long as you are the only active speaker, then you will be the only one recorded.
Also, before starting recording, you can set yourself in Spotlight, meaning that only you would be the active speaker. For more on this: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0066300
I would recommend testing it out.

Hi, Anja.
No, pin is not the same as spotlight. Please be aware that there are differences between a meeting and a webinar. While in a meeting, everyone can have audio and video by default, in a webinar, only hosts, co-hosts and panelists can have audio and video. Normal participants in a webinar can only hear and see, but they cannot talk or be seen, unless they are promoted as panelists.
To use spotlight in a meeting or webinar, you do need to have more than 1 person with video on. Please check prerequisites:
Note: Spotlighting is not available while in the webinar backstage area, if using Webinar Backstage.
