>> 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 in
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 Wit & 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
witandwired.com/Zoom
to get started.
Here's what the Zoom
app looks like.
I happen to be on a
Mac but the tools
we use and the control
should be the same
for Mac and PC.
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
yourself 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 recording.
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 view 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
recording because
Zoom will
provide you with
two versions,
speaker view 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 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
Shure microphone,
but those are
your options.
So let's go ahead
and X out of the
second video,
and we will click record,
and you have two
options here.
You can either reward
the 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 record
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 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 recording 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'll continue.
The stop recording button
would stop the file,
I should say, 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
screen set 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 going to 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 two here.
If I wanted, I absolutely
could share this.
And you'll notice
it's actually telling
me you could share
different applications.
So I could just share
the PowerPoint window,
which I might
choose to do.
If you had 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
[inaudible].
But the other
option I want to
show you is under Advance,
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
box 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 recording
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 best pro tip,
especially for
course creators,
if you're doing
what 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
@witandwire.com/coursetoolkit.
So you'll
find that below
this video.
And if you are enjoying
the tips so far,
you give this video 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
slide show 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 it's
in the green box
will not appear
in the recording.
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 toe.
The recording
is still going.
So the two ways
you can end
up 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 recording
we just did.
But the reason why we
can't check the box,
we can't click
anything is because
the file size says
processing recording.
So after you have
any recording,
it'll take usually about
the length of
the recording
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 was
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
is download the file,
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.
You could share it. 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 pass code.
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 recording.
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.
Speaker 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
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
in 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 record
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 course,
have a free toolkit
that includes
all my recommended
software and
tools to help you
create a break course.
And you can download
that for free
@witandwire.com/coursetoolkit,
or you'll
find a link in
the description.
