Zoom: Hide Participant Names in Recording

If you wish to hide participants' names in a Zoom recording, there are options to do so both in the local recording and the cloud recording. Be sure to complete the following steps prior to starting the recording.

To explore the options,

  • In a cloud recording,
    • Access cloud recording settings via the UT Zoom site at tennessee.zoom.us.
    • After logging in select Settings and then Recordings.
    • In the Advanced Cloud Recordings section, remove (if applied) the check in the option to display participants' names in the recording.
  • In a local recording,
    • Log into the Zoom desktop application and select the gear icon on the top-right. Or, if you're on a Mac, select the Profile icon on the top-right and then choose Settings.
    • Select Recordings.
    • Remove the check by the item to display participants' names in the recording.
