With Zoom meetings as a person who is not the host, I can livestream/ record the Spotlighted Host User video, using Widows 10 loaded onto a 2014 Macbook Book Pro (top spec model of that year). But on my Macbook Air M1 on ios, I have the same problem as you, I only get a black screen, but I also have the thumbnail of the Spotlighted Host User video, so I greatly enlarge this thumbnail to put it on live stream, however this causes the video quality to go more pixelated.

Question: On my Mackbook Air M1 on ios, how can I livestream/ record Zoom Meetings video, without having a black screen or enlarging the zoom meetings small thumbnail.
Or is the only way to do this by loading Windows onto my MacBook Air, because IOS, cannot do this?

I would prefer to give the old Macbook back to my significant other and use my Macbook Air M1 instead to do this
Note: I use this method to livestream our fellowship to YouTube which is next to our old windows laptop, that is the Zoom Meetings Host and livestreams to FaceBook, this old laptop, struggles to process the webcam and audio from the sound system and video to an overhead projector. So it would be to much for it to livestream through OBS Studio at the same time.
The Macbook Air is my own personal one, which I use to livestream to YouTube, this is just something extra I do, otherwise our fellowship does not livestream to YouTube, but just livestreams to FaceBook live.
This is the only way I have been able to take our Zoom Meetings and livestream to both Facebook and Youtube at the same time for free?
And also does not give more work to the person manging the Old Laptop that is the Zoom Host, as they already have to much to do.

In regards to wilwahabri message: it maybe helpful for you to let us know what operating system you are using?
For example: Windows 10? Linix? IOS latest operating system?

Thanks for your assistance

It's posted in the Windows sub forum, so presumably it's Windows.

For the original question, there isn't enough information to go on, which is probably why it took several months to get any reply at all. It's not that we don't want to help. It's just that we have no idea what the OP is talking about.

"It doesn't work. Why?", with no more detail than that, is a good way to be ignored.

That said, the way that *I* do it, and I've done it on both Windows and Linux, is to have OBS Window-Capture the meeting window. The meeting itself doesn't record at all - it's only a live meeting, and that's all it does - but OBS siphons/vampires-off everything it needs and makes a recording of that. Works a lot better than trying to mess with the meeting's (non-)support.
