Zoom Inc. Zoom Video Conferencing - Recording while screen sharing?

Question

I am having trouble recording separate feeds of a delegate who is presenting a powerpoint via screenshare

Scenario is as follows:

Delegate enables webcam.

Delegate shares screen with PowerPoint presentation.

Host allows participants to record

I join meeting with 2 machines.

Machine #1 Pins Delegates shared screen, views it in full screen and records. Everything works fine when recording is played back.

Machine #2 Pins Delegates webcam feed, views in full screen, hides gallery view popup window and records.

However, when the recording from Machine #2 is played back, it shows the Delegates shared screen with their webcam feed in the top corner and not the webcam in full screen as intended.

Recording is done locally on each machine. Free and paid accounts were used but both give the same result.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Accepted Answer

It appears that the problem is that machine #2 is pinning the delegate webcam feed instead of recording the split screen with the PowerPoint presentation. This could possibly be fixed by having computer #2 pin and record the split screen instead of the webcam feed.

Another possible solution would be for the delegate to play the PowerPoint presentation directly on their own computer and then share that presentation using the screen sharing feature. This would avoid the delegate's webcam feed being displayed in the recording.
