Meetings

Hello everyone and Zoom teamI am a long-time Zoom user, I used to be very satisfied with the way Zoom works and the simple interfaceBut I see more and more changes and difficulties for users. Is it because your design team or user advisors are too free to think of many things that make it difficult for users?In the past, logging into an account and entering a password was very easy. Now you think of all kinds of tricks. So how do young and old users know how to use it? Are you too free? 

June 11, 2025I noticed that during a meeting I Hosted today, in the Host Tools, there was no Waiting Room option. I couldn't turn on a Waiting Room.We don't like to have it on all the time because the Owner has to show up daily to let everyone in and that's not possible. We like for the Host to be able to turn it on once they get to the meeting.It was last available, that I noticed, on May 28, 2025. Has it been off all June? How do we let Hosts turn it on and off for their meetings? Did it just move?I made a screenshot of what I'm looking at and uploaded it to Youtube:https://youtu.be/1SNQ6lEjL8sI left that link since I can't leave a screenshot here.

Hi, I have a new problem which I didn't have in the past.I'm a Mac user (both Mac mini and MacBook Air) and having Sequoia 15.5. OS. Zoom version is 6.4.12.I update operating systems and applications always when available.Now when I schedule a new meeting and push "save", it doesn't offer any more to take it to the calendar as a calendar mark.I have not changed any security or other settings. Same problem has popped up to both devices - Mac mini and MacBook Air.Any thoughts what might have happened and how to fix this? My iPhone Zoom app works fine and offers sending the email invitation as it should.

I know that I can configure a meeting to record automatically when the meeting starts. I would like to do the same with captioning, that is, have captioning start when the meeting is started. Of cosre this shold be available as a meeting option, so it can be turned on or off for any given meeting.  This options should be available in the same screens and devices where the auto record setting is available.Thanks for considering this request. 

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 and when I try to do some changes in Settings ... it's not possible due broken UI /General, /Audio, /Notofications.I dont have permission to upload images ... soo I hope this will get some attention. 

I can access the chat with the messages but not the documents. I know the documents are somewhere as the history of the meeting is showing they are there.  But I can't download them.  I click to download them and it won't work. How do I access them.  Any help gratefully received. Thank you 

Perhaps Zoom is attempting to build an Apple-like walled garden with the AI features but I don’t need to work with 3 different task managers.  Does anyone know if or how you can export the recommended task lists AI Meeting Summaries generates?  I want a quick simple way to export the Zoom task list into the task manager app I’ve been using for the last 10 years thanks!

I'm here to report a meeting that were being offensive. I have proof.

How can I use Polycom Gp 500 Camera for Zoom meeting. What are tge hardware and software required.

I cannot work out why this is happening. I have updated profile to ensure has correct first and last name and yet once in a zoom session I cannot edit my name and its appearing as Surname, first .  Help with this please .....

I have a PRO licence, and I have checked that I want my meeting recordings in HD quality.But Zoom keeps compressing the living faeces out of my recordings. I have plenty of harddrive, and I record my meetings locally, but a recording that ought to weight around 3-4 GB is compressed into 600MB and it looks like faeces. There are strange artifacts everywhere, and black areas tend to become glimps of red. I need it to be high quality, and would definitely prefer no compression at all over this. So my question is: Are there any way that I can entirely disable the video compression? 😞

Hi,Anyone know how to create an audio & visual release form that people can agree to prior to pressing the JOIN button on zoom.  I have experienced this prior to joining a zoom call and I would like to create it.  Any suggestiongs?  Thanks!

Today a random person joins to my meeting without my permission and I want to prevent this to happen again. How can I do that? Thanks for the help

I was on a call with my therapist just now and I could hear a male voice talking, although there was no one else on the zoom call with us. It sounded as if he was talking to someone else (like he was on another call) and couldn't hear us. This lasted for about 15 minutes, while I closed all other taps and apps on my computer, thinking it could be a video playing or another programme running in the background. The voice continued intermittently, and eventually we ended the call and continued on another platform. Very freaky! How did this happen, and are there any settings I should be using to prevent this?

I've got two issues with freezes under zoom. Both started happening after I added a webcam to my system. Before I'd join the meeting with my iPad (for the camera) and my desktop (for screen sharing). Now with the web cam: 1. Randomly, my wireless mouse stops working. I need to unplug and plug in the receiver to get the mouse working again. 2. If I try to screen share, the zoom app freezes up and I need to force quit and rejoin the meeting. I'm running Zoom client Version: 5.9.3 (1911) under Linux/debian. Any suggestions?

Hi,Yesterday a colleague of mine ran a zoom meeting for which we cannot find the recording. I sent the invite for the meeting so the Zoom link was coming from my account but I only briefly joined the session (just to allow the recording of it).At that point, the host appeared to be the room from where my colleague was presenting it. Neither of us can find the recording of the meeting in their Zoom account. Can you please help?

Hi I have one meeting recorded on my computer was in wired ratio, 1920x2560, which makes the side-by-side view very tiny to watch. The recording I made on the day before or after that all had no issue at all. Seems just this meeting got this problem.  Any idea what the reason of this? I didn't find any settings to change the horizontal or vertical. Thanks 

Hi all,  With the latest update to the Zoom app on my Mac, the layout has changed again- where I used to be able to open the app to a page that very easily let me click "start" for a new (unscheduled) meeting with my PMI, now none of the options are as easily accessible. Is there any way to revert back to the old interface or find the page I'm looking for?This sounds stupid, but as a therapist with many sessions a day, I really just want to be able to open the app and easily click start. Thanks for any advice! Rachel

Recently getting lot of spam invite emails for zoom meeting that I never opted for. I am tired of clicking on unsubscribe. Everyday a new emails popup.

Every time we schedule a webinar, we set the time zone as Mountain Time US & Canada. However, the signup page for our webinars always say "Edmonton" for the location. This is causing confusion for a lot of people, because we do hybrid events where the in-person component takes place in Calgary, but the sign up page is wrongfully telling them the event is in Edmonton! Please provide some way of correcting this. There honestly should just be one choice that says "Mountain Time US & Canada". The "Edmonton" time zone is doing nothing but causing confusion and headaches.

I use BT headphones for audio output and a webcam with a mic as my audio / video input (the webcam mic seems to perform better than the headset mic in the BT headphones).Recently (within the past couple months?), when turning on my camera in a meeting, the audio cuts out for about 5 seconds before coming back. Zoom warns me of low volume and there is silence in the headphones during this time. This did not used to occur.Aside from missing what's going on in the meeting, this is particularly problematic because going on camera is generally a signal that I'm present and engaged in the meeting, which means it's more likely that people will address me and expect a response, but I appear to be not paying attention. Since this used to work, it seems like something may have regressed in the Zoom app. OS: Windows 11Zoom Version: 6.2.3 (47507)Headphones: Sony WH-1000XM4Webcam: Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920

I have a fairly new laptop running Windows 11. When I join my live choir rehearsals on Zoom I can hear the leader's voice OK but the music is very distorted. Can anyone advise me on what settings I might need to change to resolve this problem please?

I would like to package and deploy the Zoom Workplace Client via SCCM, however my experience has been that it closes the Zoom client. Is there a way to upgrade the Workplace Client via an SCCM package that doesn't close the client?Here is my install:msiexec.exe /i ZoomInstallerFull.msi zRecommend="AU2_EnableAutoUpdate=true;AU2_SetUpdateChannel=0;AU2_InstallAtIdleTime=true" /qn /norestart /L*V "C:\Logs\ZoomInstall.log" MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL="Disable"
