Meetings

All of a sudden starting May 1st I can no longer disable my waiting room. I did not make any changes to my settings. It used to be I could start my meeting, let people file into the waiting room and either admit them one by one or uncheck "enable waiting room" and from then on anyone who entered could just come on in.  Once I start teaching/talking I cannot be monitoring the waiting room! I've tried adjusting every lock/unlock/passcode/no passcode feature to no avail.  I'm beyond frustrated with this. My entire business hinges on the smooth entrance of people into my classes!

Hello all. I would like to use my iPad as a whiteboard for my zoom sessions.  i have followed all the instructions I have found both here and online but nothing seems to work and get me there. I was hoping someone could give me  step by step instructions who is udsing it this way. Thanks

We have a 10month study curriculum that we're doing with a static group of participants each week.  Currently, we have 20 participants - 2 of which are facilitators.  After we meet as a large group, we want to breakout into 2 breakout rooms for the facilitated discussions.   We would not complete our curriculum in a reasonable time if all are in one large discussion each week.  But, I don't want "two groups" to naturally form among the larger group.I want to randomly assign 18 of the participants between each breakout room each week - but I want our 2 facilitators to never be in the same breakout room.  Facilitators will be host/co-host.  Can I have zoom assign the host/co-host to different breakout rooms and randomly assign everyone else between them each week?(I saw a similar question from 2023 in this board - but there was no answer to that post.)Thanks,Dave 

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. I'm currently setting up a touch device (digital whiteboard) in a classroom to create a hybrid teaching experience. The idea is to run Zoom on the device (which uses Windows) and have an extended screen where the teacher can see only the participants' video.So far, things are working well: when the teacher starts the meeting and shares their screen, the content is displayed correctly on the main device, and the participants’ video appears on the secondary screen — without interruptions.However, there is an issue: when a student or participant shares their screen, their content is shown on the secondary screen instead of the main one. This behavior is unexpected and problematic, as we want shared content to always appear on the main display and have the control toolbar always there as well.We found a temporary workaround by connecting a mouse and manually dragging the Zoom window back to the main screen. While this works, it’s not ideal since th

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. I’m setting up a hybrid classroom experience using Zoom. The teacher will use a digital whiteboard that runs Windows and has a built-in front-facing camera. We’d like to add a second camera at the back of the classroom to provide another angle, but we haven’t found a clean way to do this yet.Currently, both cameras work with Zoom — we can switch between them manually — but what we really want is to display both camera feeds simultaneously, or at least treat the second camera as if it were a separate participant (like a guest in the meeting).I’ve seen some suggestions recommending joining the meeting again from the same device using the browser or another account to use the second camera, but that feels a bit clunky and confusing — especially for teachers who need a simple, reliable setup.Is there a way to configure Zoom or use a plugin/add-on that allows both cameras to work more seamlessly during the same session? Ideally, we’re looking f

I was told that I couldn’t initiate breakout rooms for a 6 person meeting if I used my I pad. That I needed a computer rather than an I pad. Is that true/? Is there a work around?

Please help me as I found no way of solving this bug. Everything worked fine yesterday, but today Zoom just won't see my webcam and mic, the headset works fine - I can hear the sounds, but people don't hear my voice. The test failed, the camera is in the list chosen as main, but I can see only a black screen. So I checked my camera and the mic - they work fine, but not in Zoom! I'm so frustrated as I teach online every day and have paid Zoom for good connection, longer lessons and a permanent link! I spent all day trying to reinstall Zoom, update drivers, restart my laptop, change cameras, but no result. Zoom doesn't see my laptop camera either! Please help.

Hello, I’m able to download cloud recordings, and transcription is enabled in the settings. I can see the transcripts in my profile through the browser. However, I’m unfortunately unable to access them via the API and/or via Make.  Has anyone managed to retrieve all transcripts from every user in your organization using the API?

Over the last several months, I've had complaints from attendees that they can't see my mouse when sharing my screen. This is really frustrating, and I have not noticed this issue when I attend others' Zoom meetings. I did some troubleshooting and found that it only happens when sharing the application window, NOT the screen. Is this a known issue or some kind of feature? 

Whenever I run a zoom meeting I'm always sharing my screen and working on a shared screen. Ten minutes before the end of the meeting, I get a reminder which shows up as a black box in the middle of the screen for everyone I'm sharing with. Meeting timers are already turned off in my settings so it's not that. 

Hello--I can no longer hear musical instruments on Zoom. The musician will have original sound for musicians turned on and others in the Zoom can hear them, but I can hear only voice, not the instrument.  I turned background noise to low in audio settings, but that didn't help. This problem cropped up a couple of months ago--I used to be able to hear them, but can't now.  However, I can hear instruments on other meeting apps, so I don't think this is a Windows issue and think it's a Zoom issue. Will appreciate any suggestions!  Thanks--

the organization I'm enrolled in runs a joint program with zoom to view the recordded lectures of the past fortnight. however when the zoom interface opens I'm facing the following issues:The video interface for recorded lectures is a hassle. There is not enough space between the pause button and the video progress bar in both the browser and the app mode. Trying to pause the video completely resets the time to near the beginning of the video if you tap even the slightest bit off-point, and is very frustrating. Secondly, there is no option for mlving 10 sec backward/forward by double tapping the screen, and again you have to struggle with the time bar, which is even more dificult to navigate for such small time intervls (even normally the time is difficult to adjust accurately usng the time bar). I requested the organization's customercare to add the required features and introduce better spacing or slightly larger icons, but they said the issue is out of their hands since the video op

We use Zoom meetings to run hybrid Yoga classes (there are students in the Studio and other students join online). Zoom is run off a Lenovo Thinkpad running Windows. The Zoom app is updated to teh latest version. The laptop is connected to a TV through an HDMI cable so the laptop screen is visible on the TV. The laptop is also connected to external speakers using the 3.5mm adaptor. In Audio settings (Zoom) we select the TV as a speaker so that we can hear if one of the online students has a question. This setup works fine. The issue occurs when we want to play some music in the background. To do this, we play the music either on VLC player or Youtube (on chrome browser) on the laptop, and in the Zoom meeting we "Share Computer Audio".  Now we can hear the music through the speakers connected to the laptop (as desired), but the folks on the call cannot hear the music at all. We experimented and if we turn the TV (connected via HDMI) off, the online folks can hear the

How Can I Become An Admin In Another's Zoom Room?

Hello all: We are nearly full on our cloud storage and I would like to be able to view the storage by user.  I can't seem to see anywhere in the reporting where I can do that. I'm in "Account Management -> Reports -> Usage Reports -> Cloud Recording I am able to see our total storage. What we would like to do is to be able to tell each user how much of the storage space they're using up so that we can have them monitor their own usage rather than having to email everybody every time the cloud storage is nearly full. We don't really need to keep the cloud recordings very long, but we do record to the cloud every time because the transcripts are very important to us.

When I use screen share now, it shows as a tiny boxinstead of the usual size. Not sure why it changed when I didn't change any settings.I can't seem to figure it out.I looked at settingsAnyone come across the same situation and resolved it?Anyone can give any guidance?Thanks in advance!

We are having subscription of pro zoomwe have deleted all older recordings from cloud storage of zoom but still we are facing cloud space issue, request urgent help please.   

Please help. I am relatively tech savvy but this one has me puzzled. I have the Zoom Add-On so Zoom appears as a video conferencing option when I generate a meeting in my google calendar.  I often create recurring meetings but if I end up having to move just one instance of that series, the meeting moves just fine without error, but when I attempt to join the meeting the Zoom link no longer works for that one instance that I moved (I get an error message when trying to join the Zoom link). It's so frustrating - am I doing it wrong?

We had a number of registrants unable to join a recent Zoom meeting that required registration. We had uploaded a large list of people who were preapproved (via CSV), but all registration questions were in place before we uploaded that list. A significant number were unable to join and/or were asked to edit their registration.

I'm recording some interviews, and I'd like to edit the video with each speaker recorded as a separate file. I've checked the 'Record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately' setting in account settings in Zoom and then recorded an interview (meeting), then recording to the cloud, but it is still just recording the gallery view. Is there a way to ensure this actually works? My end game is to edit the video in Premiere Pro, which is why I want the highest possible resolution video of each individual speaker in separate video files. I thought that was possible in Zoom - if not I'd love to find out what the best alternative is! And if so I'd love to know how to make it happen reliably.

Hello, I’m trying to achieve the following but can’t find the right settings. I’m recording a video call. The host has not turned on their video, only the other participant has. I want only the video of the participant to be recorded. So far, the recording always shows the person who is currently speaking. However, I want the participant’s video to be shown continuously, and of course, the audio from both sides should be recorded. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi, I've been trying over the last year to solve an audio issue--on my Mac Studio (2024 M2 Max) I can't get Zoom to pick up any piano or ukulele playing no matter what audio setting I've tried--and I've done every combination of setting on every mode/profile.  The strange part is on my older laptop (2021 MacBook Air), there is no issue.  I've multiple mics, and nothing works. I've looked into changing the mic Mode on the settings on my Mac to see if it's filtering audio out somehow, but that doesn't do anything either. I've contacted Zoom support and they couldn't solve. Does anyone know what a possible solution could be?  It'd be nice to be able to not have to use my old laptop for piano lessons and music making sessions because the desktop won't pick up any instrument audio (it picks up a voice just fine). At most I get very filtered and in/out sound when playing piano or ukulele.   I'd appreciate any advice or tips! Matt

Hello all,  Is there any way for me to set a limit on how loud the volume can get on a zoom room controller? Currently we need to set the volume to about 25% as we get above that it gets way too loud

what to do when closed captioning is not available in my account when I logged in using the web browser.  Only manual captioning option is available.  But when I log in using the zoom app, it is available.  

Hi. I am doing music/composing lessons with Zoom, and me and my student would like to both share our computer audio simultaneously to quickly be able to play or show musical examples to each other, or show musical exercises without having to manually unshare and share our screen every time the other one wants to play something or show something from the music software on our computer. Is there a way to do that? Because it seems only one participant can share screen with audio at a time.Also, how do I turn of the extreme noise cancelling on my microphone? I have tried everything, but Zoom seems to filter out everything that is not a voice, like clapping, musical instruments etc, which I don't want as we want to be able to clap and sing ideas to each other without the clapping being cut out, or me playing guitar, etc etc.
