For my own research, which focuses on group dynamics, I prefer the gallery view. One gives the active speaker as a small thumbnail within a larger field showing the shared screen.ĭepending on your research questions, different video formats will be most relevant.

An active speaker view: This displays the camera feed of a single participant at a time.It is important to note that participants’ placement on the screen (i.e., the location of their tiles) is dynamic and will change depending on who has a camera on in the meeting at any given point in time. A gallery view: This gives a tiled view of meeting participants who have their camera on.If you do select all of the recording options, you will be able to download several files from Zoom after a virtual meeting is complete and the recording is available:

My recommendation is to select all of the video options that are available and optimize your recordings for 3rd party processing. As discussed in Part 01, you should attend carefully to your Zoom configuration before beginning to collect data. But, beyond spoken language, video offers the potential to examine participants’ nonverbal behavior and a wide range of actions and interactions during virtual meetings. Indeed, the video recording is, itself, the source of the transcript that we considered in Part 03.

One of the most valuable raw outputs from Zoom is the video recording of the session. Introduction to Analyzing Video from Zoom
