Hello. Which version of zoom are you using to record yourself and your screenshare? I'm using the latest version and it doesn't seem to have these features.

[@witandwire]

Great question. Your version of Zoom is likely newer than mine, since this video was recorded over a year ago. All of the features are still possible, but they may have moved slightly. I’d check out Zoom’s help articles for more info.

[@MrZardoz777]

@@witandwire This kind of thing happens all the time; you find a great tutorial and some nitwit decided to move the buttons around for no reason. That's half the reason I stuck with Mac, they leave the buttons where they were . . . well most of the time.

Hi when doing this does it also record the physical image of yourself taking, my professor would like to see us talking as well in the presentation

[@witandwire]

[@bethbrock7360]

So will I be able to show the slide and my face too? As that is what I need to do.

[@witandwire]

Yes, you can using do this by sharing your screen and having the speak view on. - Team Wit & Wire

[@evelynechristie7181]

What do you use to remove the background noise in Zoom? In Loom, I the noise is still present event though I clicked the background filter option.

[@witandwire]

If you're using a mic, a pop filter helps remove background noise. If you are using audio from you computer's mic or headphones, there are some apps out there that can work well to remove background noise. We hope this helps, Team Wit & Wire

[@ingernordin3343]

Is there a possibility to enlarge my speaker view after I've recorded via zoom and share my screen showing a presentation?

[@witandwire]

Great question. In Zoom, you can’t currently change the video size or placement after recording. (Other platforms do have that option.) If you don’t need to be live, you might try one of my recommendations here: witandwire.com/videotoolkit

[@mikemerrion5051]

WOW! I just spent a couple of hours try to find instructions for making a video of myself. I stumbled across your video by accident. I'm going to check out your website. Well done, Melissa!

[@witandwire]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@Rai_inn]

Curious, what are you using to create this video, outside of zoom ? The video started with a little you on the side and your screen was already shared, so what application were you using then?

[@mario17-t34]

Super helpful, thanks much. Do you know if you can instantly replay freshly created recorded video, like let say if you doing online sport training and want to replay/edit ?

[@witandwire]

Great question. Zoom videos do take time to process, and although it’s not an exact science, I’ve found that it can take roughly the amount of time of the raw recording to process, sometimes more or less. (For example, I’d assume a 1 hour recording could take up to an hour to process, but it’s not always that long.)

[@ashleyauldwellness_]

Please can you help me with the settings when I record a screenshare and with camera view? When I save and share, my camera is mirrored but not when I record!

[@witandwire]

Are you using Zoom?

[@UofIFM]

Is it possible - or what software would you suggest if you would like to be on a video call and share your screen but show my camera view and another persons camera view on the screen at the same time with a presentation?

[@witandwire]

Yes, you could host using speaker view, and share your screen. Instead of using the default gallery view, there is an option to allow video panel or hide video panel, which is how you can allow another person's camera view. You can even allow participants to join with or without video when you host a meeting for the first time. We hope this helps, Team Wit & Wire

[@jenetrajackson6794]

Hi there 👋this video has been very helpful! I'm also trying to record content that's shared on screen as well as have the meeting participants visible on the side of the screen. Everytime I do it, it only records what's shared on the screen. I followed Zoom instructions and had the box in Settings in the Recording section checked for "Record vid during screen sharing" and "Place vid next to the shared screen in recording." I did another test run and it didn't work. I can't get help from Zoom at all unless I am on an expensive plan. Would you know how to fix this issue?

[@witandwire]

Thank you! I would recommend checking out this support article on recording layouts. support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0062314 Alternatively, you can check the Zoom community for more support.

Hi there! Chat GPT recommended me this video to troubleshoot something, but I still have issues with something not mentioned here: I want to see more than one person while I have a shared screen on my recording, do you have a tutorial for that? For the record: I'm using a MacOS

[@witandwire]

Good question! We recommend checking out Zoom Support to further troubleshoot your issue. support.zoom.com/hc/en/category?id=kb_category&kb_category=8a49729a8720391089a37408dabb35ea Sorry we can't be of more help! Team Wit & Wire

[@PlannerShop]

Thanks for this video. When I record to my computer or the cloud, I only get 1 video option with myself showing. Is there a setting that I need to change?

[@witandwire]

Great question. The reason is because there’s only one person in the meeting, therefore only one arrangement of the video is possible. If you have 2+ people, then you’ll see both speaker and gallery view because it’ll either alternate to only show the speaker or show a grid (gallery). Team Wit & Wire

[@vldarden]

I want to record only myself, not anyone else who speaks. I only share audio from my computer. Will Zoom record the iTunes screen from the music? I don't leave it open but open it to start the music.

[@witandwire]

If you share audio from your computer and play music from your iTunes, then yes, it will be recorded in Zoom. (As a precaution, I would recommend ensuring that you have legal permission to use any audio shared.)

[@sebastiangeschonke9756]

I did not find an explanation on how to record my presentation and screen at the same time. Followed the hints, but still, my video did not show up in the recordings.

[@swatikundra761]

Hello, I am trying to save both my screen and the guest screen during the interview. However, while conversing with the guest we both can see each other, but the recording doesn't show that. The recording shows only one person speaking at one time. I want both screens to be recorded as one. Any suggestion?

[@witandwire]

Yes, that’s called “Speaker View” in Zoom. If you want a side by side, it’s called “Gallery View,” and it’s (currently) only available as an option if you record to the cloud vs. on your device.

[@Thebibleauthority]

Thanks for the video. Do you know if there is a way to record the screen and webcam, and be able to move the webcam around while recording. thanks

[@witandwire]

Great question. In Zoom, you don’t have any control over where the webcam video appears onscreen, but Loom is one of my favorite screen recording tools, and you can move the video mid-recording. You can check it out at witandwire.com/loom, or here’s a full tutorial: studio.kzbin.infon7arjpJqjNM/comments/inbox?filter=%5B%5D Team Wit & Wire

Hi Melissa - What tool did you use to record yourself in a circle as a speaker? Does Zoom do this? The only tool I've heard of is Loom, but would rather use my paid version of Zoom pro. Thanks for your reply.

[@sumahomes-i4i]

how you hide the notes ?

[@witandwire]

If you’re wondering about notes in Zoom (i.e. the chat), none of Zoom’s controls or the chat will appear in any of your recordings. For any other tool, your screen recorder will record exactly what you see onscreen within the rectangle you set for recording. So if there are notes onscreen, you’ll see them. Some tools (like witandwire.com) do offer hidden space to write speaker notes, which don’t appear in the video.

[@sumahomes-i4i]

Thanks much@@witandwire

Thank you for your video. How is it possible Recording a video in zoom and Not to have other faces on it? If i pin my screen, i can still see another participants on the recording. May you can help, thank you :)

[@Dorene_Oster]

Hi Melissa, I've been looking for how to share my screen and camera at the same time on Zoom for the longest time now. I happened to have noticed that when you chose to save the video, you saved it online and not on your computer. I tried saving it online and it works, I can see both the camera of myself and the screen share. However, if I do the same procedure, but choose to save my video on my computer instead of online when I do the screen share, my camera window doesn't show. Do you know of any workaround that would be possible for the screen sharing and camera to show when saving to your computer and not online?

[@witandwire]

Great question. When you save to your computer, to my knowledge, Zoom doesn’t give you the option to decide what the video includes or how its formatted. (I might be wrong. It could be worth looking at Preferences or asking their team.) But in my experience, the only way to see options is to use Cloud recording. If you’re on a limited storage plan, you can download them right after the call. I hope that helps.

[@Dorene_Oster]

@@witandwire Thank you for your response. I will look into it. I hadn't tried saving to Zoom cloud before watching your video and didn't realize there was a difference in the settings. After I tried saving it online, I saw that the processing time was a little longer than saving it to my computer. But if it gives me the results I need, I will definitely save it online. Thank you. :)

[@henryjones8287]

Hi Melissa, Been finding your channel very useful, so thanks! If I already pay for Zoom pro, is there any reason to pay for Loom to record my presentations for the course I'm creating? Like, does Loom have any advantages that Zoom pro doesn't, or should I just just Zoom?

[@witandwire]

Great question! The biggest difference is on the editing side. On the recording side, Loom has more flexibility and options than Zoom, but I could still see it working if you weren’t particular about where the camera feed shows up alongside slides in the recording. But for editing, Zoom doesn’t have any capabilities other than a very simple trim at the start and end of a video. Loom gives you the option to cut pieces out of the middle of the video. It also has unlimited video hosting. That said, if you’re ok with the way the recordings look in Zoom, it might come down to finding an editing tool you like if you don’t need any of Loom’s other editing or sharing features. I hope that helps!
