LisaMorris Hi, 
Same occured to our stream. So I did a little bit of testing and found out that:

 

IF you START RECORDING and then you spotlight yourself, your video input will be captured by recording.

IF you FIRST spotlight yourself (did not test others, srry) and then you start recording, only icons will be captured by recording.

 

While recording, You can reset that by toggling your spotlight OFF/ON and then it will capture your spotlighted VIDEO input (your webcam/desktop, etc.)

 

TLDR: Start the recording and after that take care of visuals

    LisaMorris - this same issue happened to us today and unfortunately was when we had the Chief Technology Officer for HP Federal on among other important people for our event.  I am so mad at Microsoft right now!


    PetrBulan - thank you for the work-around, we will be testing this.

      Same thing happened to me, but it didn't record anything at all. No video, no audio, nothing was captured.
