How to record a meeting but not see myself or the black bar on the right hand side

I have recorded some training using teams by creating a meeting with myself ( on Calendars, select Meet Now) and then I share my screen and start recording (from the More - three dots option > record and transcribe > start recording).

 

However, when I play it back, there is a black bar on the right hand side of the screen with my photo.  I know I can get round the photo issue by putting in an image of 'black', but it will still show my name and I want to remove the black bar altogether as there is no point in it being there and I want it to be full screen.

 

Can anyone help me?

    I think your options are to use different screen recording software (OBS is free) or use a video editor to crop the video. Clipchamp may work for this or DaVinci Resolve if you need something more robust.
  • Per Ben's comment you should try a different screen recorder. Stream (on SharePoint) as a screen recording now and it is also coming to posts for Viva Engage.
