Meetings

I have "Always show captions" enabled because I have some auditory processing issues. However, every time I join a meeting, the annoying "A participant has enabled closed captioning" notice floats at the top of my screen and stays there until I close it. Is there any way to disable this notification? I know a participant has enabled closed captioning, it's me. I really don't need to be informed of this every single time. If there isn't a setting for this, can we get one please? Or even make it a sub-setting under "Always show captions", like "Hide caption notification". If someone has "Always show captions" enabled, it seems really pointless to tell them it's been enabled every single time; I'd think the only time we'd want a notification would usually be if captions couldn't be enabled for some reason.

A question from a new user. I have set up weekly team meetings. Is it possible for meeting participants to help create a new agenda ahead of each meeting within Zoom, or do we have to do this externally?Many thanks.

As the owner account, I have granted a few of the admin accounts rights to schedule meetings for me.  I see them listed in the Settings>Meetings>Other>Scheduling Privileges section. However, when those accounts schedule a meeting, they don't see my account as an option to choose from. Are admins not allowed to schedule meetings for the owner?  

Hi, I couldnt find the setting in my account for the Simultaneous Interpreting. Could you please help me open it?

I had a deeply personal Zoom Meeting with a medium, a medium I have contacted before and someone who has helped me greatly.  The medium sent me a copy of our meeting; she recorded it and then emailed it to me.  That meeting was incredibly special to me.  Unfortunately, I didn't realize I needed to download a copy of that meeting from the Zoom Cloud; the email copy of it that I was viewing apparently is only kept for about a month. Does anyone know if Zoom Meetings that were “in the Cloud” and are now no longer accessible can be recovered?  Thank you.

When I try to share my screen it tells me to go to system preferences but I never find anything there to allow for it.    

How do I find my recording of a Zoom Meeting I already did, with the Basic Plan?  It isn't showing up under the "RECORDINGS" tab on my profile? I set it up to record immediately at the start of the meeting.  I am aware that I only get 40 minutes with the Basic Plan.  Even so, it still isn't showing up for me.  Any advice?  I am new to this.   Thanks in advance!

Hi, I upgraded to the most recent client version for Debian Linux and now in the meeting view, after each person's name I see this additional piece of information that follows a <integer>@<integer> format. Some examples are: 144@8144@-1360@22240@-1144@9 Is anyone else seeing this or knows what it is?  

As an example, when I'm viewing the Zoom meeting I see the speaker in the right 50% and content in the left 50%.  That is my goal for a recording.  Is this possible through Zoom. I could record my screen and call it good, but that would involve even more software and the chance of error goes up. I appreciate your help.

Zoom won't close the app when clicking the 'X' in the upper right hand corner. This is by design, per Zoom - https://community.zoom.com/t5/Meetings/Exit-app-when-I-close-the-window/m-p/28362#M14018 This is the kind of "value-add" that Zoom loves to force on its costumers, and explains why Zoom was embarrassingly unable to capitalize on market share during the pandemic. Microsoft Teams and Google Meet are so much better in every way, and I hate having to admit that. I'm uninstalling Zoom from my workstation and will be using Google Meet moving forward. 

my zoom used to save my professional audio settings, and whenever I would log in I would have to do nothing. for the past few months, I now have to switch the setting to on, as it defaults to off. I have a lot of technically challenged students who I have to talk through this process every time and they find it daunting.  Why is this now the default setting? Is there a way of changing this. thanks  Katy 

Hi, I'm an independent contractor meeting with customers every day over Zoom, and I just got a new M1 MacBook Pro as much of my business is done on Mac. However, as I now run parallels since M1 Macs no longer have access to Bootcamp, I'm encountering an issue I never had before. Zoom no longer allows me to have virtual backgrounds up which is a problem as I work from home. It just says, "your devices does not support virtual backgrounds". This doesn't make sense as I can use them just fine when running on the Mac side of things. And yes, I know I run both Mac and Windows simultaneously on it, but it's a lot easier to have them both on the Windows at the same time for what I do. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

We are a small non-profit with one Zoom Pro license that we use for meetings and workshops. I am starting a new program that will involve up to 20 different small-group, peer-led meetings throughout each month. I would like for each small group leader to host the meeting (with screen share and recording capability). I know I could start each meeting as host, make the group leader co-host, and then leave, but that's a lot of work and I'm doing this on a volunteer basis. Are there any alternatives that won't require us to purchase a license for each individual group leader? That would be cost-prohibitive for us.  For example, could we purchase one more Pro license, add all of the group leaders as users, and use that to assign them as Alternative Hosts when we schedule the meetings? Thanks for your ideas.

I'm trying to download zoom meetings on my iMac desktop. My operating system is High Sierra 10.13.6. It says zoom requires 10.14 or higher. Is there an old download that zoom can send me? I need to use zoom for my assignments. Thank you. D

I go to a few meetings that are held on a regular basis and the meeting ID and passwords are always the same along with the day and time. So, what I would love to be able to do is save all the meeting information and then when I am ready to log onto them I have all the information saved in like a phone book and just click on JOIN next to the one I want and connect to the meeting!  How can I do that? If ZOOM does not currently do that, I was havijg trouble finding the feature request section if some colus SHOW ME where it is I would be grateful! Thanks!-Steven

I frequently use the remote control feature. Today the student could manipulate the shared screen but I could not see what she was doing. She was also unable to type. Any reason or way to fix it so that I can see what she is manipulating. I have used this feature many times in the past without issue.  Help?

I use Zoom (via a link) in Safari 18.3.1 on macOS 15.3.2, but always encounter issues:The connection is always unstable.The video freezes, and the audio lags and stutters.When I try to share my screen, Zoom shows the Zoom tab instead of the tab that I have selected (if I have selected to share a window) or the entire screen (if I have selected to share the entire screen).Notes:These issues are unique to Zoom and do not affect Meet or Teams.Turning off wifi and switching to a phone hotspot helps somewhat, making me wonder if Zoom somehow changes the settings based on the connection. But again, I have no issues with Meet or Teams on wifi, so the issues are unique to Zoom.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to use the Shared Polls feature announced in Zoom meetings version 6.3.  While I see the share to option, and the Sharing interface comes up, I cannot find any users to share to!  I tried both email address and display names of known active users in my account.  Adding a user to my personal contacts did not make a difference.

Hi all, I have always been able to give remote control to another person but now the button has disappeared. I have checked my settings, uninstalled and reinstalled the app but its simply not there? I can see this has been a problem for a lot of people but has anyone solved it?  Thanks in advance of any help - needed desperately in a few hours!  Su 

I attempted to join a previously scheduled meeting where notice was posted the meeting was canceled.After entering the meeting number and passcode the following statement appeared on the screen:"Host has joined. We've let them know you're here"I waited about 30 minutes and was not accepted to the meeting.I interpret this to mean there was a meeting in progress, or at least the host had opened the meeting for participants.Is that true?  Or is the "Host has joined" statement a boiler plate response and nobody is really on the other end?

Is there a way in a Zoom meeting for the admin to set it so that participants can only see the speakers and not one another? I realize that each participant can set the view as they wish. My question is whether the administrator can choose "speakers only" for the whole group. Much as in a webinar.

I have zoom workplace client installed on my laptop. When i share screen, black window boxes were seen on the shared screen. I then chose "secure share with windows filtering option in Advanced settings of screen share. The black boxes disappeared but when Im annotating on my shared screen, the participants are not able to see. This happens only when i have chose secure share with windows filtering option and not with any other option. This was never the issue with my old laptop. But ever since i installed zoom on my new laptop, I am facing this issue.Please help me sort this out

Здравствуйте, помогите, пожалуйста. У меня не работает видео. Камера исправна, она включена, но при конференции просто черный экран горит.

Is there a way to delay sending the invite to participants until a certain date and time? I want to create multiple invites for zoom mtgs for the following week. I want them to receive the invite the morning of the meeting so it does not get buried in their inbox. Is this possible within Zoom or do I have to copy the invite to an external email provider such as gmail or outlook to achieve this?  Thank you

Hi. this is very recent. When I share a video, I can't share the sound with other people if I have my headphones connected to the computer. I've tried many changed on zoom, but I can't fix it. Or do I have to change something on the computer? help, please. Thanks
