Recording main speaker and not panelists during webinar

Hi there

 

When hosting a webinar with a main speaker sharing a power point, how can we record only the main speaker and the presentation, but not the panelists?

Just Spotlight the Main Speaker. Then when they share, it will only show their share and their camera.

Hi Jeff, thanks! This is for webinars, correct?

Yes... you'll also want to make sure that as the host you are sending the side-by-side view.

 

Keep in mind that the recording is derived from the hosts computer. So, the side-by-view with the share and the spotlighted speaker must be what is being seen. I prefer single monitor mode in Zoom, it provides me better assurance of what I am recording visually.
