>> 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.
