We recently discovered an issue with our website's CSP settings that required an additional step to ensure that all browsers can access and open ZVA. 

If you're seeing reports that "ZVA isn't opening for me" and the icon is not showing, please ask your Dev Op or IT Manager to do the following:

add *.zoom.us to script-src (load js from *.zoom.us)

add *.zoom.us to child-src (to load iframe from *.zoom.us)

add wss://*.zoom.us https://*.zoom.us (to connect-src to make http request)

If your DevOps or IT Manager does not approve of this method, please submit a support ticket under the product category "Zoom Virtual Agent," and we have other options to provide them to ensure that ZVA can operate as intended on your web assets and you can get a high ROI for your investment with Zoom Virtual Agent and Contact Center!

When a user is opted into a call queue and is on a meeting (video/multiple users), that meeting does not prevent queue calls from coming through. If the user is on a call, though, that will prevent queue calls from coming through to that user. Is there a way to prevent calls from coming through when the user is on a meeting as well?

unknowing users subscribe to a freemium autobot that attaches to their calendar and then interjects itself into any video meeting on their calendar

this is a huge security exposure to our organization

there are at least 5-6 vendors; and the list is growing; most of them are NOT on the Zoom Marketplace

zoom settings do not appear to be working

• blocking domains of the autobots does not seem to work, eg block read.ai
• setting a captcha does not seem to work either

for usability in our 10,000 volunteer organization, we prefer to avoid hassles of forcing registration/authentication, we use embedded passcode in the zoom URL link

• captcha is acceptable [if it worked];
  • but not mandating entry of the meeting passcode

Hi All,

I currently have setup an Auto-Receptionist to handle incoming external lines. This has a greeting set to advise that calls are recorded for quality purposes etc. This then routes to a call queue that has the team setup to answer.

We used to have it setup so the external lines were going direct to the call queue with the greeting setup there as well. We found that if another office transferred the call, the customer would hear the call recording advice more than once. This was very frustrating to them. The good thing about this setup was the level of reporting that we would get on which external line did they call, the number of abandoned calls during the call recording announcement etc. Unfortunately this level of detail has been lost as the A/R reporting is no where near as good.

My question is if there is a way to satisfy both requirements ie to have the C/R announcement play only once on a call (regardless of whether it is transferred back to the call queue or not) and provide the level of report detail (i tried to replace the A/R with another call queue but to no avail).

I know the originating call is traced so maybe a feature request to add this to the Org settings as a default message of incoming calls?

Cheers,

James

You may have noticed that Zoom recently released a new "Shared Content Only" view mode that webinar hosts can use in "Follow Host View" mode to hide all panelist video tiles and show only the shared content (like slides or any other screenshare).  It's a very useful new feature that was designed to let webinar hosts have more control over what their attendees are seeing.  There are definitely lots of use cases where a webinar host may want to hide all of the video tiles, especially during transitions between presentation or program segments.

HOWEVER... The problem is that the "Shared Content Only" view will NOT work for many of your attendees.  If attendees are using the browser-based version of Zoom, or if they have an older version of the Zoom desktop client, the video tiles WILL NOT disappear for them when the webinar host switches to "Shared Content Only" view.  As you might imagine, this can cause a lot of embarassing problems if the host THINKS they are hiding all of the panelist video when in fact a whole bunch of attendees are still seeing the video.

Zoom never bothered to tell their customers that this new feature does not work across all Zoom attendee versions.  And, even worse, after being told about this problem they apparently have no plans to fix it (this is what I've been told via a support ticket).

So - webinar hosts - don't use the "Shared Content Only" feature unless all of your attendees are using the most current version of the Zoom desktop client or the mobile app (of course, it's impossible to know this).  Since Zoom hasn't bothered telling their customers about this, hopefully this message will be seen by some and prevent potential embarassment.

It's really a shame that Zoom released a new feature that wasn't properly developed or tested.  If it actually worked correctly, it would be a very useful feature for webinar hosts.  As it stands now, it's pretty much useless if it doesn't work across the board for all attendees.

In today's hybrid work environment, businesses and educators alike face challenges in fostering collaboration and engagement. The Zoom Whiteboard could bridge the gap between remote and in-office teams, enhancing productivity and creativity in ways they hadn't imagined.

The Challenge:Companies struggled with brainstorming sessions in their hybrid setup. Traditional methods—email threads, shared documents, and even screen sharing—proved inefficient for real-time ideation and team engagement. The leadership team sought a solution that allowed seamless, interactive collaboration across all departments.

The Solution: Zoom Whiteboard for its user-friendly interface, real-time collaboration features, and integration with their existing Zoom meetings. Let us quickly discover its potential and its application to multiple functions.

How to Maximized Utilization

Real-Time Brainstorming:

During virtual meetings, team members used Zoom Whiteboard to jot down ideas, create mind maps, and categorize tasks.

The ability to use sticky notes and draw connections helped structure discussions efficiently.

Agile Project Management:

Developers and project managers used the Whiteboard to create sprint planning boards, track progress, and visualize workflows.

Tasks were assigned using shapes and labels, ensuring everyone had clear visibility on project stages.

Interactive Training Sessions:

The HR and learning teams used Zoom Whiteboard for onboarding new employees, making sessions more engaging with diagrams, flowcharts, and interactive exercises.

Trainers could annotate and get instant feedback, making learning more effective.

Cross-Team Collaboration:

Instead of relying on static documents, marketing, sales, and product teams used Whiteboard to collaborate on campaign ideas, customer journey maps, and UI/UX wireframes.

Teams could continue working asynchronously, adding notes even after meetings had ended.

Documenting and Sharing Ideas:

With the ability to save and share Whiteboards, teams could revisit past brainstorming sessions and build upon previous ideas without losing momentum.

Integrations with other tools ensured smooth workflow transitions.

AI Companion for Zoom Whiteboard:

With the help of the AI companion, users can now generate ideas on a digital whiteboard and organize ideas into categories, helping teams get to work faster.

Hi everyone, I need help with an audio problem. When I want to select the audio options, the window closes and I can't configure anything. The same thing happens if I'm on a call. Could it be a version error? Because in January I was using Zoom normally. Thanks!

The meeting I participate is announced publicly and occasionally has bombers come to disrupt the meeting. One of their tricks is to raise and lower their hand rapidly. Currently, that makes them jump around in the participant list and thumbnails, making it more difficult to select them and remove them.

A simple feature that would be helpful would be to have available is a throttle on raising hands so that after raising and lowering a user's hands multiple, say 3 times, within a threshold timeout, say 10 seconds, the bombers would be unable to raise their hands for a period. It would not need to be a very long throttle to be effective, perhaps even a minute block would be enough for the feature to be useful.

It would be a feature that would not have much impact on our intended participates because it is so temporary and is an exceedingly rare behavior for normal meeting attendees.
