Recording splits into many small files

When recording Zoom conferences via OBS I get many small MP4 files, example is 27 files over 22 minutes. If I drop them all into a video editor I have most of the recording but there are some lost periods. What should I do to correct this and get a single unbroken recording? Thanks.
 
It seems you chose m3u8 as recording format in Settings->Output. The characteristic of m3u8 is to create small mp4 files and a playlist that links all of them. Change this to something else, for example to mkv. Everything except m3u8 creates one video file. If your video editor doesn't support mkv, enable Settings->Advanced->Recording->"automatically remux to mp4 (record as mkv)".

My recording format is MP4. This only happens recording Zoom while recording both speakers and microphone. Recording a video with audio from only the speakers generates a single MP4 file as I would expect.
