Zoom is a widely used video conferencing tool that offers the capability for users to engage with one another from different locations. A notable feature of Zoom is its ability to capture recordings of meetings and webinars. By standard settings, Zoom captures these recordings in speaker view, showing only the person who is speaking at any given time. To modify this setting to gallery view, allowing you to see all participants simultaneously in the recording, follow these steps.
Step 1: Open Zoom
To start, open the Zoom app or log in to your Zoom account on a web browser. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Record” button located at the bottom of the screen.
Step 2: Select Recording Options
After clicking on the “Record” button, a pop-up window will appear. In this window, you’ll see several options for recording your meeting or webinar. Look for the option that says “Local Recording” and click on it.
Step 3: Change Recording Format
Once you’ve selected “Local Recording,” you’ll see a drop-down menu with several recording formats to choose from. Look for the option that says “MP4” and select it. This will allow you to change the recording format to gallery view.
Step 4: Change Recording Layout
After selecting “MP4” as your recording format, you’ll see another drop-down menu with several layout options to choose from. Look for the option that says “Gallery View” and select it. This will change the recording layout to gallery view, where all participants are visible at once.
Step 5: Start Recording
Once you’ve selected “Gallery View” as your recording layout, click on the “Record” button again to start recording your meeting or webinar. The recording will now be saved in gallery view format.
Conclusion
Changing Zoom recording to gallery view is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. By following the instructions above, you’ll be able to record your meetings and webinars with all participants visible at once, making it easier for others to follow along and engage in the conversation.
