How to record yourself and your screen in Zoom + download Zoom recordings

in this tutorial I'll teach you three different ways you can record in Zoom first I'll show you how to record just yourself on camera then I'll show you how to record just your screen including either the full screen or just a portion third I'll show you how to record yourself and your screen at the same time and I'll show you how different settings and zoom affect where the small camera goes I'll also show you where the recordings live either in the cloud or on your computer and I'll talk about the different options you'll have when it comes to editing and Publishing your videos hey I'm Melissa and welcome back to wooden wire where we help creators turn their skills and passions into profitable online businesses the first step is to download Zoom if you haven't already and you can go to whitandwire.com to get started here's what the Zoom app looks like I happen to be on a Mac but the tools we'll use and the controls should be the same for Mac NPC so for the sake of today I'm just going to go ahead and start a new meeting but you may have already had one scheduled and you would be joining but let's go ahead and just jump into a new meeting and now we have two Melissa's so for now I'm actually going to stop the video in the zoom call and the controls that we're looking at are along the bottom when it comes to recording or sharing your screen if you just wanted to record your cell and your participants you would click the record button what is not so intuitive to tell here is that after the recording when we log into Zoom there will actually be two different options to download that reporting there's one called speaker View and one called gallery view so speaker view would download a video that compiles a zoomed in shot of whoever is talking so if there were a natural discussion it would show me when I was talking maybe one of my students when they were talking and so on through the call Gallery new instead is a recording that shows all of the different boxes on the screen at once so you can see multiple people at a time again to be clear you don't have to decide that before the recording that's an option that you'll get after the reporting because Zoom will provide you with two versions Peak review and gallery view now if I were to hit record I'm going to go ahead and turn my video in zoom off so now we're back to having two of me you'll want to make sure before you record that you click this smaller Arrow to make sure it's using the correct camera so right now it's actually using the FaceTime HD camera which is the built-in camera on my laptop I could switch it over to the webcam which I have attached and plugged in separately but I think for today we'll use this separate camera it's kind of messing with both of my my video recordings and same thing you'll want to make sure it's using the correct microphone I currently have a lavalier plugged in I usually have my Shore microphone but those are your options so let's go ahead and X Out of the second video and we would click record and you have two options here you can either record this file to save on your computer or in the cloud if you save the file to your computer it will save into a local folder on your computer and that is the only location where the file will live you can move it around that's up to you if you referred to the cloud after our recording you'll actually log into Zoom which I'll show you how to do and you will download the recording and then you can choose what to do with that file I think most people tend to use the cloud option and then they can choose which recordings they want to use and in what ways I'm going to go ahead and choose that option as well for our demo so now it is recording and you can see in the top left it is confirmed that this reporting is active and you'll notice you actually have the option to pause or stop the recording when I have a zoom call it's usually something like a student group coaching call or a one-on-one call I tend to record it straight through but you could choose to pause it here now the section is not recording we can click resume it will continue the stop recording button would pause or it would stop the file I should say that the file would be complete you could resume a new one it's not really something I would recommend I would just record it straight through now we're here with the video only option but I also want to show you how you can share your screen and include that in the recording the thing you may notice too is we did technically start the recording already but what you could have done is configure your screen Click Share figure out what you wanted to show and then do the recording and if you're trying to create a video that has no need for edits that's what I would recommend I would get your screenshot up do the share screen then record it that way you don't have to trim anything from the beginning or the end open up I think we're gonna do just this PowerPoint example if you have let's say a second monitor you could put the presentation on one Monitor and share that screen so you can see your notes if you use Google Slides you have different options you could also use canva depending on what you're presenting the main takeaway here is not that I'm going to demo each of those instead the takeaway for you is that you'll want to practice before your Zoom call what part of my screen do I want to share what do I want to share with everybody because you will have some different options and I can show you exactly what they are right here your first option is to share the full desktop if you have a monitor you'll see another option for desktop 2 here if I wanted I absolutely could share this and you'll notice it's actually telling me you could share in different applications so I could just share the PowerPoint window which I might choose to do if you have something up in a browser let's say something in Google Slides you would see options here to just share the window or even just an individual tab but the other option I want to show you is under Advanced where you have the option to share a portion of your screen first you'll click which feature you want portion of screen and then I'll click share if you wanted to share sound if you had any sound built in you would need to check this box first but I don't have any sound so I'll click share and you see my screen looks a little messy now I've got the bar I'll move to the bottom my own screen I'll move here the zoom window I'll minimize and then this green rectangle you have full options to play with so maybe I'll move this up here I'm just dragging and dropping it and then I can expand it so that it looks like this now in the recording only this green boxed section will appear in the video you may also be wondering about this video off the side of my face you may be wondering about this toolbar on the bottom one of the important features to know about reporting in Zoom is the fact that it doesn't include either of those Zoom elements in the recording so this toolbar even if it was right here across the middle it will not show up in the recording similarly with the video it doesn't actually matter where it's placed on the screen the way that Zoom will decide where your video goes is based on the type of screen share we picked and I know that's a bit confusing I'll link to a help article below this video but if you share a portion of the screen just like we did what Zoom will usually do is put this camera off to the side and put like a black filler box under where you see my face now so it'll be a full rectangle but your camera will not cover your screen if instead you choose to share your full computer screen or if you share like a Chrome tab or a browser tab for whatever reason Zoom will actually put this over here so instead of putting it off to the side it'll actually cover the top right corner of your screen my vest Pro tip especially for course creators if you're doing one I'm doing here and recording slides is that I would recommend that you just don't put any important info on the top right corner of your slide that way there's no risk of it being covered by the way if you are interested in course creation you can find a free download below this video to more of the tools I recommend or you can grab that for free at witnwire.com course toolkit so you'll find that below this video and if you are enjoying the tip so far you give this video a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss additional videos now let me move this again it does not really matter where that goes for now once you have the slideshow open you can click through the tabs you can go through your presentation this happens to be from a kickoff call of mine and you could go for as long as you want it you also if you were teaching live you could open up the chat and I usually keep this off to the side like this again you will not see this in the zoom reporting this part of the window even though in the green box will not appear in the reporting and if you hover over where it says you are screen sharing you can see this toolbar again at any time once you are done with your recording you would go ahead and end the meeting so I could stop sharing that will take me back into just zoom but you can see on the top the recording is still going right so the two ways you can end a reporting are to click the stop button or to end the meeting but I typically click end so I'm going to end this meeting and then I'm going to open up my zoom account to show you where the recording goes once you log into your Zoom account you can click the recordings tab here on the left and this will show a list of all of your recent Cloud recordings with the most recent at the top you'll notice here this is the reporting we just did but the reason why we can't check the box we can't click anything thing is because the file size says processing recording so after you have any recording it'll take usually about the length of the reporting itself for it to fully process and upload so we'll come back here in a second when it's finished so I can show you what the downloads look like now that it's finished processing we can go ahead and click into our recording and you'll notice there are only two files here shared screen with speaker View and audio only and the reason why is because I was the only one in our meeting I'll pull up another example in a second so you can see the additional options that I mentioned before the speaker View and the gallery view but just to show you first what this looks like if you actually click the image the icon itself it will open up the video here and I'll go ahead and pause this and I think it's important to note that Zoom does not really have editing features if you click the scissors icon you can trim like the very beginning or ending that is the only editing tool you have if you actually wanted to edit this video what you'll want to do is download the file all and I'll actually go back into the other tab I would click this download button here to download the shared screen with speaker View and then you could choose what to do with that file you could either publish it into an online course you could upload it into an editing tool and you could share it there the options are endless but I just think it's really important to have this key takeaway that Zoom is a recording tool it is not an editing tool nor is it really a publishing tool the final option that you will have is to share it so if I click this button I would have the option to change these settings so that anyone with the link could view it and if I wanted I could go into these additional options if I wanted to set an expiration date or create a passcode I use this when I send recordings to clients or to students from one-on-one calls if I want to give them access to download this file on their own because it's much easier to send them a link rather than sending them a huge video file as promised let me just go ahead and go back into recordings to pull up a different example so you can see the different options here's an example of a past reporting this is a live weekly group coaching call from my course creation students and now you can see since there were actually other people in this call we have the two different files I talked about figure view shows only one person at a time and they take up the full screen while gallery view shows many people at a time in boxes and next to each other completely up to you which one you choose I would guess you'll want different options for different use cases but now you can see how to record and zoom and then come into your account go to the recordings Tab and access the recordings the other option is if you didn't choose Cloud reporting if you chose to report on your computer then you'll access the files on your computer in the zoom folder that is automatically created usually under my documents if you are interested in creating and selling your own online courses I have a free toolkit that includes all of my recommended software and tools to help you create a great course and you can download that for free at wit and wire.com course toolkit or you'll find a link in the description if you enjoyed this video here's another one that I think might be useful [Music] [Music] [Music]
