 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosell here I did a video about a year ago regarding using zoom to record remote interviews if you are interviewing someone for your video Podcast or your YouTube channel how you can use zoom and I went through a lot of different settings with OBS And I included in that video how to set up your zoom account for remote recording It's not configured out of the box really in a very good way for this functionality So that's all I'm going to cover in this video. I think it was worth the separate video because it's very important However, I have to say one caveat. I actually don't recommend zoom for remote recording Yes, it will get the job done, but there's a better platform in my opinion and this isn't affiliate marketing I'm just saying this my honest opinion Riverside.fm. I'll put a link to them in the description is really intended for this purpose zoom is intended for video meetings And as an add-on feature allows you to record and the problem is that you're going to lose quality because Zoom is going to compress your video and audio feed Go up to the cloud and record whereas Riverside.fm is what's called a double-ender recording platform It records locally on the host and the guest site and then syncs syncs those up to the cloud But if for whatever reason you need to use zoom, it's what your guests are familiar with etc Here's what you want to do. So go into your zoom account click on two settings then click into Recording it's the second tab over in settings and this is where you're going to want to change things up Now this is maybe not the best way to do it because I have Tinkered with my settings already But if I hadn't tinkered with them, here's what they would look like the record active speaker gallery view and shared screen Separately would not be ticked. This is what you want to tick. It's super important Why is this because if you think about it if you're editing and post-production? It's much more useful to be able to play around with hosting guests Afterwards in other words, you might want to have full-screen host Then cut to the guest and then sometimes have both side-by-side if everything's recorded onto one video feed It's going to be very hard I don't say impossible because with enough editing wizardry almost anything's possible, but it's going to become a lot harder So firstly, I would tick this You may not even want to have shared screen just of active speaker and gallery view But I would do this now the second option that doesn't come ticked by default that I think is useful For more advanced editing work flow or really for editing these recordings with the intention of putting them up on YouTube Would be to record a separate audio file for each participant So in other words zoom is going to give you the audio as a separate file for everyone in the interview That means that you can do stuff like blank out the host When you don't need the host audio and the host maybe is coughing into the microphone or whatever and just have the guest audio There's a few more. So those are what I would consider essentials and They're not grouped under advanced cloud recording settings. So don't be deceived. Those are important You can add a timestamp to the recording now. This is going to put a timestamp up there Here's one another trick. I do there's a tick box here display participants names in the recording I would actually have that off because that's going to write the names and in my opinion It looks pretty ugly the way zoom does it by default And it's very easy in post-production to just add a lower third for each participant and then have them disappear And that's pretty much it There's a tick box here optimize the recording for third-party video editor This will increase both the file size and the time it will take to generate I would take that just to be safe I have to be honest. I'm not really sure what that does But I've always taken so this is my default config for recording interviews And then you can just use the cloud recording once you have this set up But if you don't have this set up and saved on the back end of zoom, it's too late So you want to make sure you go in here before your interview get everything configured one more time settings meeting and then you want to in my opinion turn on the Separate recording settings for active speaker gallery view and shared screen And then I also recommend a recording taking this option for recording a separate audio file for each participant Finally, I also reckon I also take off participant names and then take this box called optimizer recording for third-party video editors Hope that settings run through was useful if you are using the zoom platform to record an interview for your youtube channel Or whatever the case may be Thanks for watching and more videos will be coming soon on this youtube channel
