What enhancement would you like implemented? Describe in as much detail as possible, providing specific use cases.
What: 1) Allow non-hosts and non-co-hosts to see each others statuses even when in different breakout rooms.  2) Allow them to see the full participant list.

In a zoom meeting with 20 staff, 10 are in breakout room A and 10 are in breakout room B. 

1. If the participant is not a host or co-host in room A, they cannot see other participants status (be right back, away, muted, screen sharing ...) in room B.

2. No participants can see the full list of attendees which is the second tab in the breakout rooms modal.

 

Who in your organization will use this functionality?
Who:  All who use Zoom with more than 1 breakout room.


How will they benefit from it?
How:  It let's them know if people are active before they enter the room and possibly interrupt and will also indicate if they are away from keyboard if status is set to "away" and jumping into that room with them will not get their attention.

 

Why is this request important to you, and how will it achieve your business needs?
Why:  It better enables Zoom to provide remote work coordination that is more similar to an in office experience with conference rooms and offices.

 

This is the closest setting I can find relating to this issue, but is specifically addressing host/co-host status, not participants.

  • Allow host to view activity statuses of participants in breakout rooms (for example: share screen, raise hand reaction). This allows hosts and co-hosts to quickly view participants' audio and video status, if they are sharing their screen, and if they are using the raise hand reaction. This feature requires hosts and participants to have client version 5.10.3 or higher for activity statuses to appear, and does not apply to participants joining on certain devices such as phone, H.323, and SIP.

Hi there. I am trying to have a meeting over Zoom with multiple participants. I need to see everyone on screen, but I want the participants to remain anonymous to one another. Is there a way that I could see everyone (they must keep their cameras on during their time with me) but keep them from seeing one another? I need help. Please and thank you!! 🙂

Hello,

We would like to test out a poll in a practice session, a few days before the webinar. The practice session would be used a second time, just before the webinar.

Apparently, if we test it out, the poll will be deactivated. Is it possible to recreate the poll after the practice session? Also, I don' t know how to join the practice session as a normal participant  to see how the poll looks like. Is there a way to get this view? 

Thank you.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem?

 

I recorded a meeting to the cloud, just as I do regularly. My meeting history confirmed that specific meeting was indeed recorded to the cloud. It was taking an extra long time to convert and become available, so I contacted zoom tech support. I am working on a 13" MacBook Pro, using Zoom Workplace Version: 6.3.11 (50104).

 

 

When tech support responded to my query, they said: "We have looked into the meeting logs of the provided meeting ID, upon investigation, we noticed that the recording is already permanently deleted."

 

WHAT.

I did not take this action, and the file was never made available to me. It's not in my trash folder, so there is no recovering it.

I am extremely frustrated.

How to Extend Meeting Time on Zoom Basic Plus

I recently downgraded my Zoom plan from Zoom Pro to Zoom Basic Plus and had a frustrating experience when my meeting abruptly ended after 40 minutes. I couldn't find any clear instructions on Zoom’s website, there was no way to contact support, and I couldn't locate any helpful posts on the topic. Today, while hosting a meeting, I figured out how to extend the meeting time on my own and would like to share the method.

 

1. There is a common misconception that the extension button appears as soon as the meeting starts. This is incorrect. In my case, the button only became active about 20 minutes into the meeting.
2. The extension button appears at the top right corner of the Zoom meeting window. It is located just to the left of the buttons used to maximize or close the window.
3. The extension button is not visible unless you move your mouse to that location.


I hope this information is helpful to other Zoom Basic Plus users. For reference, I am using Microsoft Windows on a desktop computer.

Annotation options not always available

I am the meeting host. Sometimes when my meeting partner shares their screen, I am able to write on it with the annotation tools, but other times that option seems to be missing. What's going on?

Using recycling expired Meeting IDs - block joining from old link

When a Meeting ID has expired, deleted, and then released to the pool of available Meeting IDs there is the risk to inadvertently join someone else's meeting if the old link is mistakenly clicked and the new meeting owner has not protected it with a password.

Currently, the only 'flag' presented to the user joining the meeting is that they are [joining an External Meeting]. 

Expectation would be that, since the old link is pointing to a specific domain not associated to where the Meeting ID lives anymore, that the user attempting to join the meeting is presented with a notification to note the [Link is invalid].

 

Alternatively, it would be great to have a way to either keep users in our account from inadvertently joining meetings that are not password protected or to 'Accept' that they are joining a non-password protected meeting.

Changed Laptop, how to transfer messages

My employer just replaced my laptop but now all of my work-related zoom chats are no longer available even though my zoom account did not change.  Is there a way to transfer all of the prior chats from my old laptop to the new one?

 

Thanks
