Recording Roll20 session on Zoom

Has anyone ever recorded a Roll20 session using Zoom? I'm going to be experimenting with it this Friday with my Cryptworld campaign, and I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience with this relatively "low tech" way of capturing a game.

You might get some pointers from this page in the wiki.
Thanks. I've read through it but just having a hard time finding an example of someone using Zoom to record the screen. I'm assuming it's not a very popular method but it is pretty simple for someone who's not skilled with the recording software.

I'd set up an OBS interface myself, and just capture the Zoom Window, or pull in frames from the individual feeds. I used to do the same with Discord and Skype, so it's shouldn't be too different. The cool thing is that out of the box, OBS can stream to Twitch or Youtube. Oh, or are you looking to have Zoom do the actual recording and need to find a way for it to capture the Roll20 screen? I've not recorded directly with Zoom before. Can you record a shared screen?
Yes I'm having Zoom do the recording. You can just record whatever specific window you're sharing but things get a little messy if you try to move too many other windows around (Zoom will sometimes pause the recording until you move the offending window). The downside is that it captures all the GM's movements, but I don't mind having folks watch what I do, as long as I make sure not to click on the Journal icon and show everyone the monsters.
