How to Record Meeting without Participants video & audio names being displayed?

[JohnnySPK]

I'm new to Zoom; I know how to invite others to a meeting without their video being turned on. However, in that case their names are displayed in smaller boxes,  showing when they're speaking.

For a meeting, if I just want to record it and only see my video & audio, as well hear the audio of the other participants but not see the smaller boxes displaying the names of the audio participants -- how to I achieve this?

Thanks for your feedback.

@JohnnySPK , you can un-show the participants name by toggling on/off the application's setting>video>always display participant's name on their videos.

Video

View your video feed and change your camera.

Camera

• Camera: Select the camera you want Zoom to use.
• Camera settings: Select Original Ratio (usually a 4:3 aspect ratio) or HD (usually 16:9 aspect ratio), as well as Mirror my video, which will horizontally flip your video. 

My Video

• Touch up my appearance: Apply a softening effect to skin to minimize the visibility of imperfections. 
• Adjust for low light: Improves video brightness and quality in low light surroundings. 
  • Choose between Auto (selected by default) and Manual, which provides a slider for how much you want to increase video brightness. 
    
    
• Always display participant name on their videos: Display participant's name : on their video.
• Stop my video when joining a meeting: Automatically disable your video when joining a meeting.
• Always show video preview dialog when joining a video meeting
• Hide non-video participants: Hide participants' thumbnail if they don't have video enabled. Thumbnails for non-video participants display their name.
• See myself as the active speaker while speaking: Place your video as the primary active speaker on your own screen when you speak.
• Maximum participants displayed per screen in Gallery View: 
  Choose between 25 participants or 49 participants (if supported by your device)
• Advanced: View advanced video settings

• Always display participant name on their videos: Display participant's name : on their video.

This setting is unchecked, but the names still appear on the recordings of my meetings. 

Any additional suggestions?
