Follow our guide to using Zoom to capture your kitchen table conversation.
Record your conversation
Host your conversation on Zoom, so can you bring together people in different bubbles and households.
You can ask people joining you to download the Zoom app beforehand.
A free Zoom account allows you to run a Zoom call for 40 minutes maximum, so bear this in mind when you’re planning your conversation.
Don’t forget you’ll need to download the app to your device, too.
When you are logged in, use the top menu to go to Zoom.us > Preferences > Recording. Choose a folder on your device to save the recording to.
When you start the meeting, make sure you are using the gallery setting, so that everyone can be seen in the final film. Click the ‘Record’ button at the bottom of the screen. You won’t be able to record your Zoom conversation on Android or iOS unless you have a paid account.
Watch this guide to recording on Zoom.
Don’t worry too much about how the recording looks and sounds. We just want to share it with other people, to show how conversations like this might go.
A well-lit, quiet kitchen is the ideal setting.
If you do want to make a great film, we’ve put together some more tips to help, below. And we can always crop bits out, if you need.
