I am a basic user, Version: 6.4.3 (52139), Mac Pro. I am trying to turn off the blue screen background, which I presume is a virtual background. I'm not even sure how I got one. Changing virtual background to None does nothing. Trying to follow instructions to change the background have gotten me nowhere. I tried following the instruction "As an admin (logged in), navigate to zoom.us/account/setting, then Meeting -> In Meeting (Advanced)You'll find the following options for your entire org's account, including 'Require user s to always use virtual background'. Disable this and unlock the virtual background setting if this is locked." I am not "authorized" although I am the sole owner of the account.  How can I become the admin of my own account?

After signing in, following other the other instructions I found doesn't work because my interface doesn't seem to match the instructions:

To enable or disable Virtual background for all users in the account:

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal as an admin with permission to edit account settings.
  2. In the navigation menu, click Account Management then Account Settings.  [NO ACCOUNT SETTINGS UNDER ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT ergo no meeting tab or In Meeting (Advanced) links. I have screen shots if necessary.]
  3. Click the Meeting tab.
  4. Under In Meeting (Advanced), click the Virtual background toggle to enable or disable it.
  5. If a verification dialog appears, click Enable or Disable to verify the change.
 

I just want to get off the blue screen and be able to have (formerly normal) management of whether my virtual background is on or off.

Internal Caller ID

When a user calls another user, all we see if company name or on computer we will see the CEOs name because she has Main number in her contact information.  

Where would we go to set this up properly?  Or is this just what they have?

hi, can anyone advise if I can call a 1-800 toll free number on zoom? I have Zoom workplace installed on my Mac but I can't see anywhere on the menu bar to place a call. I didn't need to call till now, but with skype being phased out, I would need to find an alternative to do so. Currently traveling in Europe and need to find a way to call different 1-800 numbers in North America. Thanks for suggestions/advice!

Participant initial colors

How is the color of the participant initials (that appear next to their name) determined in the participant list/chat/Q&A?  Colors change when you or the participant changes their name.

The camera adjusts to my position and I don't want it to.

How do I change this effect on the camera? I don't want it to follow me or zoom in/out. I need the camera to stay still and focus on what I want. Thank you!

Waiting Room

When I start Zoom, I have to let all participants into the meeting. How can I ensure that the participants automatically enter the meeting without letting them in individually? What settings do I need to make?
