>> 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.
