Many thanks for your reply.

My menu doesn't offer the Print option nor does the More option offer it. Might I have to enable printing?

Employee

Dear @froschling Thank you for your inquiry. The 'Print' feature is currently in internal beta, and we plan to make it available to all users in September. Please stay tuned!

The 'Beta' label was unfortunately missing, which is why Bri was unaware of the distinction. We will add the label as soon as possible.

Many thanks.

I was beginning to think my machine configuration was the reason. I look forward to "Print" coming out of beta.

Meanwhile you have a great product!

Regards,

@froschling also, would you like to try to set the docs permission then circulate the docs link instead of a pdf/printed page?

Helle again,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I did consider this and will revisit it in the light of your comment, but some of my colleagues are not able to easily access online documents.

We are a charity, Bridgend u3a, that coordinates mutual leisure and leaning activities for people who are no longer in full time employment. Inevitably this means our membership profile tends towards older people. Many of our members find screen-based documents difficult to manage so the ability to circulate and possibly print a PDF is very useful.

Thank you @froschling !

I work for a non-profit where not everyone has access to Zoom. It would be great for there to be the ability for a small group to collaborate on a doc and then print/export it to a file share to which others have access.

Employee

@andrewparrish Thank you for the feedback! This feature will come soon so please stay tuned!

Meanwhile, I just want to check if you are aware that Zoom Docs is free for everyone as long as they have a Zoom account?

I have become aware of this. I just started exploring it as a potential fix to a complication regarding AI Companion. A Zoom host needed to share AI Companion notes from a Zoom meeting for an assistant to edit. As it works now, they have to copy and paste the summary to a Word doc and edit it there to share with the rest of the department as a follow-up.

I'm not sure if it's possible to share the Docs document to anyone for editing but it's more likely it'll work the way you say and anyone who is editing a DOCS file will need a Zoom account.

I have members who have vision problems, and their support software will not read everything. Text or Word files are often the safest.

Employee

Hi @froschling thank you so much for your feedback. We are looking at this.

I am an admin needing to print meeting transcripts, but the print icon is greyed out and a mouseover popup tells me that I "do not have access to print and to contact the Admin to get permission". How do I do I give myself permission and where do I find it?

Thanks!

Newcomer

I've messed around with this, trying to find it, but I've learned that I can only print documents that originated from me. It doesn't seem like I can print documents created by others on the account.

You're one ahead of me Andrew, I'm not able to print my own documents, let alone anyone else's.

Hello Andrew,

The "Print" function is a many faceted beasts which seems to change functionality - and availability - each time try to access it. For some time, it did seem to produce a PDF that could be opened and printed via a web Browser. That no longer seems the case and it's nowadays greyed out.

I guess we'll have to wait for Zoom to decide what they want to offer and settle on it.

Regards,

John
