Question

Teams webinar recording - show participants in the bottom and not in the sidepanel.

Phillip Lind 20

Hello,

I am hosting a webinar, and i want the recording to show the participants in the bottom of the screen and not in the side.

Correct way (recording march 22): https://share.getcloudapp.com/5zujJQdg

Wrong way ( recording march year 23): https://share.getcloudapp.com/yAuJLdZB

As you can see the "video of a person" is also taking a big portion of the picture.

The main problem and what i dont get is:

The presenter sees the attendees panel on top
The attendes se presenter and other attendes panel below
The recording shows the attendes panel **in the side So none of the above makes ny sense because the recording shows a completely different view.....** It looks correct for the viewers who watch it live but for the recording it shows all the participants in the sidepanel.
My problem with this is that i am editing it afterwards, and i want the fullscreen powerpoint.

Hi @Philip Lind,

Based on my test this should be the expected behavior.

As in Teams recording it records the Teams meeting window (including the attendees) rather than only the screen you are seeing.

That is why changing the view to Focus on the content, which is a user-side setting**,** does not affect what contents are recorded.

Here are also some related Teams Uservoice threads:

Can we please edit participants view from Recorded Sessions

Request to provide setting to allow full screen recording without profile picture.

If you would like to submit your feedback to Microsoft, please consider upvoting or leaving a comment.

And if it is possible, I would suggest using some third-party recording tools instead to custom the recording area as a workaround.

Hey,

Thanks for your response - but i dont get why it from my other webinar the attendes pictures were displayed below? But now they are on the side?

But it should record the teams window correct, but it is set to automatic record when the meeting starts.

The main problem and what i dont get is:

The presenter sees the attendees panel on top

The attendes se presenter and other attendes panel below

The recording shows the attendes panel in the side

So none of the above makes ny sense because the recording shows a completely different view.....

Thanks for the update!

Please kindly note that the recording in Teams may not always record the actual view the organizer is seeing.

In the organizer's view, you can see contents, co-organizers, etc.

This view is more like a control panel only available to organizer, while these would not be shown to attendees (they would have their own view of the content, attendees and chat).

It is the same in recording.

It is not the same as the recording, the recording is neither?

Yes.

Please see the following screenshots:

1.This is the view of the organizer kael (since he is not presenting, you can also consider him as an attendee)

2.This is the view of the presenter user01

3.This is the recording

I see, but again your recording dosen't make sense, why is the pictures on the left side?

I want them below or above like your organizer :)

Thanks for the update.

I understand your concern while this is the current design.

If you would like to custom the recording area, a workaround would be using some third-party recording tools as mentioned in my former reply.
