How can I remove the speaker thumbnail when recording, so that only the shared screen is recorded, and no thumbnail/speaker is shown?

In Settings > Recording, I have disabled "Record active speaker with shared screen", "Record gallery view with shared screen" and "Record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately". I have also disabled "Display participants' names in the recording" and "Record thumbnails when sharing".

Finally, in the meeting itself, under Settings > Recording, I have disabled "Display participants' names in the recording".

Despite all this, I'm still getting a small black box for the active speaker in the top right which shows up in the recording, when I only want to see the slide presentation. Previously, I was able to get rid of this box by changing just the meeting setting to remove "Display participants' names in the recording" but now I cannot find any way to get rid of it.

I restarted the desktop version of the application after changing the configuration, but this did not help.

Is there any workaround / solution for this problem:
I just upgraded to the latest Zoom version 6.7 on Linux and the icons and fonts in the new navigation menu are far too small (for me).

The Accessibility settings have several scaling options but this excludes the navigation itself.

I am on a high DPI monitor and all other programs scale properly but Zoom seems to ignore the scaling configuration.

My system: Ubuntustudio 24.04

I would like to know if it's possible to find out who turned on transcript function during the meeting. I saw that the message 'This meeting is being transcribed' popped up in my meeting but none of the participants are admitting that they turned it on.

We are an organization that as a whole records 90% of it's meetings, & can't turn off the recording lock. However, 10% of meetings (That are re-occurring meetings) would like to not have to turn of the recording every meeting. 
Is it possible to still have accounts recording locked, but "Opt out" certain recurring meetings? 

Creating an inclusive meeting environment ensures everyone—regardless of ability—can participate fully and comfortably. Here are some practical tips to make your Zoom meetings more accessible and engaging:

🌟 Before the Meeting

• Share materials early: Send out agendas, slides, or documents ahead of time in accessible formats (e.g., tagged PDFs, readable text documents).
• Ask about accessibility needs: Encourage participants to share their preferred communication methods or any accommodations they may require.
• Enable accessibility features: Turn on closed captioning or assign a captioner so everyone can follow along easily.

💬 During the Meeting

• Use clear audio and visuals: Speak clearly, avoid talking over others, and ensure your microphone and camera are of good quality.
• Describe visual content: If you share slides or show something on screen, briefly describe key visuals for participants who may have low vision.
• Pin or spotlight speakers as needed: This can help participants who rely on lip reading or visual cues.
• Use chat mindfully: Summarize key chat points verbally to ensure no one misses important information.

✅ After the Meeting

• Provide recordings and transcripts: Share the meeting recording with captions or a transcript for those who couldn’t attend live.
• Invite feedback: Ask participants how the meeting accessibility could be improved for next time.

By making these small adjustments, you can create a more welcoming and productive space for everyone to connect and contribute effectively.

Here are some Zoom features you can enable to make your meetings more inclusive and accessible for all participants:

🔧 Accessibility & Engagement Features to Enable

• Closed Captioning / Live Transcription:
  Turn on automatic captions or assign a captioner so participants can read along in real time.

• Multi-language Captions:
  Enable translated captions if your meeting includes participants who speak different languages.

• Keyboard Shortcuts:
  Remind participants that Zoom supports keyboard shortcuts for navigation, muting/unmuting, and raising hands—helpful for those using assistive technologies.

• Screen Reader Alerts:
  Ensure screen reader alerts are enabled so participants using screen readers receive notifications about chat messages, raised hands, or participant joins/leaves.

• Pin or Spotlight Video:
  Allow participants to pin or spotlight speakers, interpreters, or presenters for better visibility—especially useful for sign language interpretation.

• Virtual Backgrounds and Avatars:
  Encourage simple, high-contrast backgrounds to reduce visual distractions and improve focus on the speaker.

• Waiting Room Customization:
  Use clear, accessible text in the waiting room message to guide participants on what to expect before joining.

• Reactions and Nonverbal Feedback:
  Enable reactions (thumbs up, clapping, etc.) so participants can engage without interrupting the speaker.

• Recording with Captions:
  When recording, ensure captions are included so the playback remains accessible.

• Chat and Q&A Options:
  Keep chat open for written communication and enable Q&A features for structured participation, especially in larger meetings or webinars.

By enabling these features, you create a more inclusive environment where everyone—regardless of ability or communication preference—can participate fully and comfortably.

Hi,
I have a personal Zoom account (Basic/free plan) and I’m the only user—there’s no admin or organization involved. Until this morning, everything worked fine, but now my meeting participants can’t join any meetings, even when I start a new meeting and share the correct Meeting ID and passcode.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Scheduling new meetings (not using my Personal Meeting ID)
• Double-checking the Meeting ID and passcode
• Making sure the waiting room is off and no restrictions are set
• Having participants try different devices and networks
• Checking my account status and settings

Despite all this, participants still get errors and can’t join. I don’t see any alerts or issues on my Zoom profile, and I don’t have access to direct Zoom Support as a Basic user.

Is there anything else I can do to fix this, or could there be an issue with my account after downgrading from Pro to Basic? Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

I received a zoom invitation and when I click on the link, I am directed to a webpage that is telling me my zoom client is out of date and I need to update. A file downloads and when I install the file it does not resolve the issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled zoom with the latest version, cleared my cache, and restarted my computer multiple times. At this point I have no idea what to do.  The interesting part is I am able to open other zoom invitations, so I am not sure if the issue is on my end or the invitation creator's end. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
