Meetings

I'm looking for an enhancement that would allow better customization of meeting templates. For example, the ability to set different waiting room messages that pertain to the specific meeting template. Also, to be able to set settings for each template, for example one template that allows recording, while another template can be set where the recording feature is not allowed.

I am teaching using  Zoom and want to Spotlight either my laptop camera or my second screen where the slides are being displayed. The students join without turning on their camera. But I can't get the Spotlight option to show. I searched through settings but nothing provides a Spotlight option. How can I control what my students see? I don't want my slides to appear as just another attendee, I want the slides full screen. And to occasionally display my image on my laptop camera.

i am thrown out of the meeting after every 5 minuts

When I share a powerpoint in presenter view, I can change whether I use content, or powerpoint showing over shoulder, etc. using the layout icon.  But one of my colleagues doesnt see the layout icon when presenting. Why is this? Is there a preference she needs to change or what?

I cannot connect to a meeting through a link sent to my email. It just keeps telling me my zoom client is outdated (which it isn't, I have the latest version). Then is starts to download and never finishes. If I copy and paste the meeting to a browser or into zoom, I get invalid meeting ID. This happens on my computer and my iphone. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and done a zoom clean among other things. My old zoom and microsoft acct were attached to an account that I no longer use and were associated with google. My current account is associated to microsoft , outlook. 

I have been using zoom for years for music lessons, I always use the original sound for Musicians, in the last 6 months I cannot get my piano guitar or singing to come through my headsets. I even bought a new headset thinking it would help, nothing. I can get my instruments through my separate webcam but then it picks up all noises, I want to use the headset mic for instruments. I have tried it all, what do I do?

Is there a way to automatically  hide video panel when sharing screen, other than having to do it manually. I have setting to gallery view for participants, when I share screen I don't want the panel showing I have to go and click on More than Hide Video Panel, which is distracting when you are teaching or minimise the panel. Any suggestions? 

I have been using zoom for guitar classes for 3 years. I had the guitar and microphone plugged into an guitar processor which also acts as an audio interface. This was connected to my mac book pro M1 via USB. In zoom the audio interface was selected as mic and speaker. This worked flawlessly for those 3 years. Last week when the classes returned after the summer break i plugged in as usual and zoom is now suppressing the sound of the guitar and voice. Even when i just use the mac microphone and speaker when i test mic i can hear my voice but play the guitar and i will be able to hear the first couple of notes and then its suppressed. The people on the on other end of the line said they couldnt make out what i was saying and the guitar sounded weird. I am fully updated on Mac OS and the zoom app. Nothing has changed. I tried another audio interface and got the same problem. The mac and audio interface work flawlessly in other music apps. Im pulling my hair out at this stage.

What USB channels does Zoom Meeting use for audio output by default? Is it possible to select different USB channels?

Hi everyone 🎈   So i’m having trouble trying something out. I want to try out to use the remote control option, but the icon doesn’t appear. All settings are right :(. Is it because one of the devices I‘m working with a phone? But shouldn’t that be working too? Or does it only work on Laptops/Pc‘s? 

Zoom 5.11.10 and 5.11.9. In a meeting using KDE on Wayland right click menus appear at random places on the screen and clicking outside the menu does not cause it to close, though using the Esc key does. Also clicking on the shield icon at the top left of the meeting only produces the dialogue for a brief flash and it then disappears. It all works correctly  though if I run Zoom with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP set to GNOME. 

Is there a way to turn off the floating emojis as an attendee. I realize some people might like this, howevr to me, it's annoying and distracting from the lesson/meeting. 

Last night on a zoom program about art, I was zoom hacked. We were well into the program and someone started scribbling over the slides. Then the scribbles turned into nasty words. Somehow I was able to stop it and then it happened again a few minutes later. Someone identified who had done it so I removed that person from the meeting. (It was only a first name and don't think there is anyway to tie it to an email.) I then clicked on every button on my dashboard to enable all possibilities of further interruption. Wondering if anyone has a checklist of steps to ensure this does not happen? For example, only allow the host to screen share, disable white board, disable collaboration, host tools, etc. I had no idea there were so many ways for evil people to interrupt.

I have seen threads about this, but I have seen no response that makes sense. It looks like the company is ignoring or avoiding the subject. Is there any valid reason that Zoom must install on C: and the users are not allowed to customize the install folder (Windows 10)? If not, why does Zoom not allow it -- does it have any intention to do it, and if not, why not? Seems like a simple

There are at least two issues when annotating a window screen-shared by a Wayland (Linux) user.   Steps to reproduce the issues: A Linux user shares a window (NOT the full screen) on Wayland. Another user annotates on the shared window. Issues: The annotation is not aligned with the shared window, but is wrongly aligned to the entire screen for the Linux user. The annotation disappears after a few seconds on the annotator's screen, but remains on the Linux user's screen Expected behaviour: The annotation is aligned on all users' screens. The annotation remains on all users' screens until cleared.

Hi all,I use basic, free Zoom and lately have been experiencing frequent Unstable Internet messages.  I've read lots of articles about this on the internet and am still baffled so any direction on solving this would be appreciated.  Here is what I'm using and what I've done so far. 1. I typically sign into Zoom right from Google chrome by going to zoom.com.  Should I be using the installed program?  Does it matter?2. I'm on a pc, W10, newish laptop, Google Chrome.  Windows and all drivers fully up to date.3. Network troubleshooter shows no problems.4. Wifi speed 2.4G about 75 download/13 upload and with 5G about 84/13.  However, I noted 5G has about one bar less on strength than 2.4G.  Which is more important - signal strength or speed?5. Not using HD camera.  No other streaming occurring in house6. Not sharing videos etc. during call that would bog things down.  Just a shared whiteboard.7. No unnecessary tabs open on pc during call.8.

Hey,I did a fresh installation of fedora 41 but it does not work for my hardware so I was pushed to try 42 - which works great. All apps are working in exception of Zoom screen sharing. When I am trying to share screen I am getting:  Can not start screen share, choose one of the options: - Install latest 'xdg-desktop-portal and 'xdg-dektop-potal-gnome' - Switch to X11 display server To support screen shareI have instaled both packages rpm -aq | grep xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-1.19.0-1.fc42.x86_64 xdg-desktop-portal-gnome-47.1-2.fc42.x86_64 xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.15.1-6.fc41.x86_64And both portal and portal-gnome are running, what can I do in this case?

My zoom app used to work fine without a problem.  Then about 4-7 weeks ago I had some glitch (forgot the issue) that caused me to update the Zoom app.  Ever since the update, my video freezes every 10-30 seconds.  I can work around it my disabling video, and enable it right again.  This will fix the video freeze.  But unfortunally it will freeze in 10-30 seconds again.  So in a meeting, I have to click many times video disable/enable due to the video issue.  I tried rebooting iphone.  I tried uninstall and reinstall the app, and reboot the iphone.  Nothing works. Audio is fine.  Otherside's video and audio is fine too. The other side of the zoom seems to be fine.  It is only my video that constantly freezes，and I can see that because my own video is shrinked to a very small window, but still display my camera content, which freezes.  I have iphone Xr, ios 18.6.2

I have a user who uses the Zoom for Google Workspace add on to create Zoom meetings in Google Calendar. She is encountering an issue where, seemingly randomly, Zoom meetings are not being saved when they're added to calendar events. Everything looks great before the changes are "saved" in Google Calendar, but after saving the changes, the Zoom meeting disappears. No error is thrown, the meeting link just silently disappears. Anyone experienced this behavior? 

I am an executive recruiter and do many screening interviews with candidates. I have begun using AI Summaries on candidate screening interviews (about 60% of my Zoom meetings), but I don't want to use them on all meetings (e.g. with clients). Is there a way, or can there be a way, using Zoom Scheduler to apply a meeting template at the time of meeting creation based upon the type of meeting created in Zoom Scheduler? This would eliminate having to set summary/recording settings meeting by meeting, which is tedious. 

Hi, I'd be very grateful if someone could help me with a stubborn problem: I would like to have a sound notification when someone joins my meetings (I do get a pop-up at the top of my screen when they enter the waiting room, but with no sound). When I go into Settings / Meeting / Sound notification when someone joins or leaves, this option is already enabled, but I still don't hear the sound for any of my meetings, and when I'm working in other windows while waiting for my client to arrive, I can't see the visual notification. I used to be able to get a sound notification but some months ago that stopped happening for some reason completely beyond me. Everywhere I look I just see the same advice, ie to check the setting I described above, but that is not where the problem lies. I've tried to "Reset" it, but it made no diffference. Any advice would be gladly received!

Hi, I'm trying to use Camo Studio with Zoom, but "Reincubate Camo" isn't appearing as a camera option in the video settings. The camera is working Fine in Camo Studio. I've tried restarting both apps, updating Zoom, and reinstalling Camo Studio, but nothing seems to work. My device is connected, and Camo Studio is running on my computer. Has anyone else encountered this issue or have any suggestions for getting it to work? Thanks in advance for your help!

When I am on a Zoom call I have it set up on half of my screen. Whenever I open or close chat in a meeting the zoom window resizes and changes position. When chat is opened, instead of resizing the elements within the zoom window to create room for the chat window, the entire Zoom window resizes, adding on the width to display the chat. When chat is closed, the Zoom window resizes to the original size, but it's screen positioning is shifted left. Fix: Do not change the window size when chat is opened. Zoom window sized to half of the screen: When chat is opened, Zoom window width increases to fit chat.  When chat is closed, Zoom window width returns to original width, but stays aligned to where it expanded to the left. Edit: Same experience with participants. 

Currently Zoom has a setting called: "Block users in specific domains from joining meetings and webinars". I believe this will be the solution for many of the discussions I've seen here about notetakers joining webinars. For our specific case, this setting is be all end all, for both meetings and webinars.  Is it possible to split these? I have already submitted the feedback to Zoom, but wanted to see if anyone knows anything here? PS: I do not want to require authentications (this causes issues for some of our users) or require CAPTCHAs. The waiting room can help if people join on time, but what happens when they come in late? Do we have to be policing the webinar?  Please advise!

My video filters suddenly disappeared.  I am running Zoom 5.8 and I have had no problem before.  I checked my account and Video Filters is selected.  I reset but still no sign of them in video settings when I enter a meeting.  What's up?
