Audio Dropouts During Meetings After Latest Update — Anyone Else?

Hi everyone,

Has anyone noticed brief audio dropouts since the recent Zoom desktop update? In several meetings, audio cuts out for a few seconds while video and internet stay stable.

I’ve already updated Zoom, tested different headsets, and tried both Wi-Fi and wired connections, but the issue still happens randomly — especially in longer meetings.

Curious if others are seeing this or have found a fix. Thanks!

Do you perhaps have your headset paired to you mobile phone at the same time? And getting message notifications from app like Messenger of Whatsapp?
I’ve noticed that probably when reading those messages (or maybe getting notifications??) audio from webinar disappered for me for like 2 seconds every time.
So maybe try turning off Bluetooth on you mobile phone during meeting and check if problem still persists.

Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t usually have my headset paired to my phone during meetings, but I’ll try turning off Bluetooth and notifications to see if that helps.

Actually, I was presenting a project from my website during a recent client meeting — you can check it out here: smokeycloudz.com — and that’s when I noticed these audio dropouts. I’ll see if adjusting the Bluetooth/notifications fixes the issue and report back.
