I'm posting from the POV of a webinar attendee, not as a host/planner. I am using Zoom Workplace version 6.4.0 on Mac Ventura. I swear there used to be a way for me, as an attendee, to adjust the size of the presenter's camera view while they are sharing their screen.  For example, you could have the presenter and their PowerPoint side-by-side, and drag to adjust the size of the presenter  relative to the size of their PowerPoint slide. Now all I see is the option to switch between the slide and a camera view up top that is so tiny you can barely make out the presenter's face. If you switch, then the shared PowerPoint is way too small.

I realize that if you go full screen, you gain some control, but this is awkward compared to the side-by-side view, requiring multiple clicks rather than just dragging to adjust. I swear I looked through all of the view settings and can't see a way to switch to a view that makes the presentation engaging -- in other words, you can clearly see the slides, and their face, side by side, at the same time.

I don't see an option to share a screenshot, so here's a link to a (heavily-redacted) one:

Thank you.

I cannot create a meeting because ZOOM has overlaid an announcement for its AI notetaker service. The large rectangle sits directly on top of my photo and my CREATE A MEETING interface. I cannot create a meeting.  Why does Zoom need to leave that announcement on indefinitely? How can I create a meeting with this blockage?

Now Skype is gone we need a new UK phone number and the ability to make VOIP calls in the UK, USA and Canada. I live in South Africa, but our clients are in those regions. To register for Zoom phone I know I have to supply a UK address, but does Zoom need me to receive post and do something with it, like sign something and post it back? Can we not register and use Zoom Phone like Skype with never having to deal with a postal service, instead using email?
I'm looking at the Regional Unlimited package as I don't see a benefit in signing up for the Global Select package, or am I missing something?

Hi, 

There is a glitch in the zoom program.  When a zoombombing occurs and we Suspend Participant Activities- the participants should not be able to do anything at all. 

But, they can use the react button.  And raise their hand and put their hand down over and over, thus making their square jump to the front of the cue and then back to their original spot.  This is occurring on multiple paid accounts with very strict security settings set up.  

And if there are multiple zoombombers at the same time, then multiple people are raising their hand over and over and they then are jumping to 2 squares each.  Making it much more difficult to remove and report them.  

Why does the zoom program allow all participants to "react" when the host has enabled the "suspend participant activities" which is supposed to freeze and lockdown everything?

Thank you

Hi!

We host monthly educational sessions on our ZOOM account since 2020. Up till December 2021, we hosted them as webinars and didn't have any issues with registrants not being able to log in on the day of the event.

However, since January 2022, for the two sessions we have hosted thus far, we have received a lot of emails and complaints about registrants not being able to log into the session with the information ZOOM sent them after registering. Some of them were being asked to register again, and when they did, they were told they cannot join. Others were told the session had not yet started (even though it hard), and others couldn't click on the "Join Here" link in the ZOOM email.

We are not sure how to fix this because it sounds more like a ZOOM platform issue. How can we make sure that for our March session, registrants no longer encounter this issue because it affects our attendance and makes us lose valuable time finding other ways to get registrants into the live session?

Thank you for your help! 

We have a shared phone group for our front reception desk that has a few members of our administrative staff who rotate behind the desk when our dedicated reception is out of the office. Recently, they brought to our attention that they get bombarded with voicemails from the main office line when they have the shared phone group turned off.

Is there a setting that I am overlooking that includes suppression of them getting voicemails on top of phone calls when they toggle off the shared group as they no longer need to be answering calls from that line?
