Meetings

Can I host 1 meeting on 1 place and host again another meeting to another place with another laptop using only 1 account at the same time?Is it possible to do this? I'm thinking to lend my account to one of my colleagues.And if possible, is there a specific type of account to use?If there should be an alternative host for the other meeting, should the alternative host have the same account type(Pro,Business,etc)?

A friend and I have the same level of zoom account. When we schedule a meeting, in my account under the "Options" listing, I have the 'Breakout Room pre-assign' option listed. In his account, the "Options" listing is missing the 'Breakout Room pre-assign' option. We went over the Settings comparing our accounts and cannot see what would cause his account to be missing that option. Any suggestions on where to look?

Hi everyone, I am a student using Zoom portal provided by our university. I have enabled automatic captions in advanced settings, however during zoom meeting the 'live transcription' button is not turning blue after being clicked, anyone has idea why this is the case?

Hello thereCan anyone help please?When in a meeting, the visuals of my screen go haywire: strobing, distortions, multi-colour visions...horrid.It occurs after 30 seconds of the meeting starting. I then switch off video, back on again, and then it's not long before it starts again...this has occurred every meeting since last Zoom update...?Any solutions please?Kind regards,Candrika

I previously subscribed to a paid Zoom plan and recorded some meetings, which were saved to the cloud. However, I have since canceled my paid subscription and no longer have access to the paid features.   I would like to retrieve the recorded meetings I had stored on Zoom.   Could you please advise me on how I can access or download those recordings?   Thank you

Hello everyone, Since it appeared as a Beta-option, I have been a keen user of the "Screen share > advanced > Powerpoint as a background" feature, which has always worked well so far. However, when I tried again yesterday, the clickable area with the text "Powerpoint as a background" on the "Advanced" tab  was not clickable anymore, and it showed a warning symbol with an exclamation mark. The other 5 options on the "Advanced" tab seem to work just fine. I tried this on my desktop, as well as on my laptop, and with the same result: no access to the "Powerpoint as a background option" anymore. Anyone has an idea what the cause of this is, and how it can be solved? Many thanks in advance for your suggestions.   

I have several breakout rooms with other host, and I am one of the host. When I leave to go support a breakout room, I get this“You are sign into another Zoom meeting; would you like to end this zoom meeting before going into this zoom room?” I have never gotten this to go to another breakout room and when I click yes, even if there is a host in the room I was leavening. It would close that breakout room kick everyone out and open the new one with other participants. When I try to go back to the breakout room that I just left. I would get the same thing come up. “You are sign into another Zoom meeting; would you like to end this zoom meeting before going into this zoom room?” and it was happening to other host. Can you please explained why is this happening after going to the new Zoom workplace and I have the updated version also just in-case you blame that.

I am regularly hosting zoom meetings where I share an audio played from a website on chrome. Last time suddenly my sound was barely hearable to the participants and myself. I checked all sound options on zoom and on my laptop's system settings, without any result. (I checked whether "share sound" was on, tried mono and stereo quality, and zoom has all permissions on my laptop). In a new test meeting, after logging out and creating a new meeting just for myself, it worked fine. I have never had this problem before. I urgently need a solution as I rely on this function weekly. I have got a Macbook Air 15.3.2 and Zoom workplace 6.4.6. I have not changed any settings since the last time it worked fine. The only thing I recently did was clearing cache in Chrome.As the problem does not occur every time I don't understand it and need a solution. During the meeting I am hosting there is no option to quit the meeting and enter it ag

When I go to the Settings screen and hit Video, I get a blank screen. It says it is hooked up to my camera. Then when I go the "Backgrounds and Effects" The camera works fine.  It will not work at all in an actual zoom meeting.  The audio works fine.  The camera works on other apps. I have set and rest the permissions.  I have reset the camera, reloaded the camera app, Restarted the computer, updated and reloaded the Zoom app.  How can the camera work on the Backgrounds mode and not on the Video mode?  I am baffled.  

When the host shares a screen, I can't see it. I get a prompt to "click on tab" to view it. I cannot find a tab

I'm an audio engineer using Zoom-meeting recorded audio files regularly. My client sends me their files, I edit them. They used to always be mono files. Then sometime around October of 2024, the files started being stereo. It would help me if they were mono. But I can't find an option in settings to record mono vs. stereo. If I found a way to make them mono like previously, I'd inform my client.Any help?

All of a sudden (beginning Monday) without my having done anything in my Zoom settings, I find that when I join a Zoom meeting - as I do every day for work - I have to manually click on the "Start Video" button at the bottom left of my desktop screen (See attached screen cap 1). My video used to start automatically when I joined a meeting... now it doesn't. WHY? WHAT HAPPENED? How do I make my video being ON the default state when I join a meeting? (See attached screen caps 2, 3a, 3b) Note that I do not have a check in the box on the Video tab of settings that says "Turn off my video when joining a meeting." That option is NOT selected. So, why is my video not ON when I join a meeting? This is extremely frustrating.

I'm trying to start it and it gives me the following error (Error code: 5456000)

I have the newest zoom update (5.11.0), and I really need to switch to dark mode because light mode is very straining to the eyes, especially with a huge iMac screen close to my face. however, the "dark" option is not available. in fact, the "theme" category is nowhere to be found in my settings on general in zoom.  where can I enable dark mode here in this?I use macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. pls, I need a quick answer to this, or i'll probably go blind after some time. 

There used to be an option to automatically close the browser tab  that is automatically launched when joining a Zoom meeting after a few seconds. Now, the tab just stays open indefinitely and you have to close it manually, which is extremely annoying when spending a full day in back to back meetings. I haven't been able to find any settings to turn the auto-close back on - is this still an option?   

Is there a way to copy the participants in a Zoom meeting so that they can be input into Wheel of Names for a prize drawing during the meeting. Copy doesn't work so I have been re-typing the list of participants while the meeting is going on. Zoom provides a list of participants when the meeting is over, but that doesn't help during the meeting.

I am using a 2022 Mac Studio with an Apple M1 Max chip. Running Sequoia 15.4.1. I'm hard wired to a 1300Mbps internet connection. Using Zoom Version 6.4.6. Every few minutes the video freezes for 3-5 seconds, then catches up again. It only happens in Zoom, never in MS Teams or FaceTime. I have uninstalled and re-installed Zoom and even purchased a new 4k camera to see if that helps. Still the same freezing issue. Has anyone found a solution?

I have Zoom Pro and am trying to schedule a meeting with a co-host. Every time I try adding a co-host I receive an error message "Unable to assign "(email address)" as an alternative host because the user cannot be selected at this time. How do I fix this?

I have multiple people that are in Zoom for Government meetings. When they get put into a breakout room zoom crashes. Has anyone experienced this? It's not just one PC or internet connections, it is happening to multiple people so I'm led to believe this is a Zoom issue?

Hi,since I updated Zoom to version 6.0.x on my laptop (windows 10), the audio volume is very low.I've not been in a larger meeting since the update, only one-on-one meetings. My audio volume is just like always, I can hear just fine in every other application. The sound test in zoom is also ok, I hear myself clearly, the volume of the test sound is adequate. However, I can hardly hear the people that are in the meeting with me.  I have to turn up the volume on my laptop to a degree, that it hurts my ears when I run an audio anywhere else.What can I do to solve this?

Dear Zoom Community I have a single monthly subscription for Zoom. The check for updates is missing from my profile. The trouble shooting advice tells me to contact my IT Admin team - as a single user I don't have one, so the advice is inappropriate. How do I get the check updates back. Many thanksLynn16

All of a sudden when I log into zoom meeting new box appears, are you sure you don't want audio and video. Only option is yes. The Audio and video have redline with Triangle and !. I click it but won't allow to turn on

Displaying the actual meeting name on the top of the screen can be a useful feature to help ensure that participants are in the correct meeting. This can be implemented by adding a label or text field to the user interface and populating it with the appropriate information, such as the meeting name or conference room name, before or during the call. The exact implementation would depend on the specific technology or platform being used for the meetings.
