The recording will be whatever is set in your recording settings, as described above.īonus: How to record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately? Note: As the meeting organizer, it doesn't actually matter whether you use active speaker or gallery view during the meeting. The 'with shared screen' part means that if someone shares their screen, that will be recorded full screen during that time (instead of the gallery view of the participants). Now, when you start your Zoom meeting and record it, the gallery view will be the recorded view. Then, go to Settings -> Recording -> Untick 'Record Active Speaker with Shared Screen' and tick 'Record Gallery View with Shared Screen'. (Note: To my knowledge, this option is not available for 'local recordings' but I have yet to test this fully).īefore you start your meeting, log into you Zoom account in your browser.

Good news! For cloud recordings, you can change the default recording view from 'active speaker' to 'gallery view'. For smaller meetings and classes, you might instead want the 'gallery view' so you have a better view of everyone in the meeting.

Zoom defaults to 'Active Speaker' view when a meeting is recorded to the cloud.
