Meetings

I was downloading a Zoom recording from Zoom.us and decided to trim the video. Unfortunately, I accidentally trimmed out the part I needed and kept the part I didn't need.Is there any way to undo this trim or restore the original, unedited recording?I haven't been able to find an 'Undo' option, and I'm really hoping there's a way to recover the original file.Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Is it possible for someone to bypass the waiting room to get into a meeting? If so, can someone do that without being detected?

Oct. 11, 2023Seeing more responses on the issue, I updated my original message to make it more useful. Problem:On my Windows 11 laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad, E495, ethernet wired connection), when I start Zoom (even without signing in, same with Microsoft Team), the internet speed test shows a 30-times drop, from 450 Mbps to ~10 Mbps. Temporary remedy: After your Zoom session, QUIT Zoom (or Team) COMPLETELY so your internet speed is back to normal. You make sure this by clicking the "Show hidden icons" arrow at the bottom-right of your screen to see all the applications running and exit Zoom if it is still there. Attempted fix. It worked briefly for an earlier version of Zoom, but does not work anymore (after Zoom version evolution) as of Oct. 11, 2023 :   1.) Search for the "Control Panel" and open this up.   2.) In the window that comes up, click on the "Network and Inte

HiAs my first thread disappeared here a second try. I often have the following problem while hosting a zoom meeting.The audio and video is working fine, so my internet connection in generell is fine. But it looks like that zoom is stealing all my bandwidth. I cannot use my browser or other apps that needs internet connection (like App Store on my MacBook).I was using zoom 6.3.10 and am updating it to 6.3.11 right now. But I don't think that the problem will be gone then. My problem is similar to https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Meetings/Zoom-or-Team-slows-down-internet-speed-by-30-times/m-p/122236/thread-id/69875.Unfortunately I don't see the option "Conference Bandwidth Performance --> Gives maximum bandwidth to the conference app in use ON/OFF" on my MacBoo

It will be nice for auto forward meeting to a mail list. I'm doing so using role on Gmail , but it's somewhat limit.

Just last week, my students haven't been able to get into my weekly meeting. Each student registers for their own log in link and for years all has worked fine. Now, almost all of them are unable to get in because it says Registration Closed. But, I've not closed registration and can't figure out how to open it. And, the oddest thing is that one student could get on today but everyone else couldn't. I've updated my zoom  to the latest and it is still happening. I use Chrome on a mac. Please help. 

When in zoom meeting my chat window does not have emoji option. Happens whether attendee or co-host. All other attendees have it.  This has been going on all week.  I have used multiple computers, multiple zoom accounts, and reinstalled zoom twice.

The annotation icon (pen in a box) always stays at the lower left corner of the Zoom window that blocks my control tools.  Any way to remove/relocate it?  Thanks.

Hi, how are you?I've been trying to schedule a meeting where everyone can share their screen at any time, without me (the host) having to enter the meeting to change that option. I haven't found this option and it bothers me to have to be the first one to enter the meeting to allow sharing.Does anyone know how to do this?

I use Zoom for a meetup group, and attend other zoom calls as well. I receive a notification whenever one of my  calls will begin usually as soon as a person logs in.  I also receive a summary of the content. The problem is that the "From" address does not reference my group, but has the name of another person who leads a call for something entirely different.  The real email is  ***********.  It shows "person -different organization." I use an address on outlook but use  apple mail on my mac.  Is this an issue with zoom, outlook, or apple? 

Ever since I downloaded the new version of zoom on my new laptop (Lenovo ideapad slim 3) zoom doesn’t work properly.first black boxes kept appearing for my students. Managed to fix the issue by changing advanced settings.However now, students don’t see my annotations. They either completely don’t see them from the start or they appear for a second to then disappear for the rest of the meeting. The students report that they can see my cursor and that’s how they know what information I am selecting. They cant see anything I draw, circle or write.this is really problematic for me as I am a teacher and annotating really helps with keeping the students engaged. the thing is, I can see everything I draw, circle or write. If it wasn’t for my students telling me, I wouldn’t even know there was an issue! what can I do to solve this? I tried uninstalling and installing zoom multiple times a

When I recorded meetings, the recording was automatically stopped (I think after 60 minutes or so) - I would like to know how I could prevent this! Any ideas? I couldn't find anything in the settings.Thank you very much for any hint!Thomas

Hi, Please add a bell on the zoom meetint screen, so I can light in Red when someone is so taking much time in the intervention?  hope it helps other users. Best Licínio 

Why are passcodes being required when I sent the invitation to participants and my settings are set to require NO passcode?

Hello - I can't seem to turn off gestures on My Mac. I have gone through settings and everything is unchecked. I took a screenshot to show this but can't upload here.  If I raise my thumb even by accident a thumb bubble arrives on my screen. Then my video freezes but my audio continues. The only option is to unplug my camera and plug it back in.  The equipment I am using is a Sony a6400 camera with HDMI out into a Elgato Camlink 4k and then USB into my Mac.  This has only just started and I'm getting really frustrated with it as I also tend to "talk with my hands" so to speak.. I am on the latest version of software for Zoom and also Mac OS. Please help. Thank you.

Feature Request:I would like to suggest that Zoom enables virtual backgrounds to be included in Cloud recordings, just like they appear during live meetings. Currently, while virtual backgrounds are visible to meeting participants, they do not appear in the Cloud recordings, which can be frustrating when trying to share visually appealing content with others.It would be great if this feature could be added to enhance the overall experience for users who rely on Cloud recordings. Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Hey,my question: Pressing the keyboard shortcuts to lift ab the hand (alt + y) or to switch to mute (alt + a) always causes a sound.It seems... only in Zoom.If I use "space" to mute the sound...  or do click onto the symbol for mute.. no sound.Does anybody know how to switch it off?It seems only to happen in combination with "alt"Thank youMatthias

Hello, I have a recurring meeting set up 4 meeting occurrences. I'd like to close registration for just one of the meetings or put a cap on attendance for that specific meeting. Is it possible to cap the number of registered guests for that occurrence and not put a limit on the whole series? Or am I able to close registration for that session? 

Hi!  I give music lessons (classical flute) on Zoom, which works really well when both the student and I use external microphones to the computer.However, when using the mobile phone for Zoom, this is causing problems. We tried to connect a Zoom H5 handy recorder to an Iphone, but there are severe problems with latency and it "cut offs" the register on the instrument.  Is there a way to solve this, with a handy recorder + Iphone? 🙂 Ann

My company has a horizontal log. No matter what I do, I can't fit my company logo in the profile picture. Since it nees a square profile image, it always cuts off the left and right sides of the logo, and there are no controls to allow me to shrink the logo to fit. I've tried multiple image sizes, and it makes no difference. I know this is such a low item on the totum pole in the design universe, just annoys me.https://www.hostworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/zoomlogo.jpg 

Hi!  I recorded a meeting on the cloud, then shared a link with the passcode with the participants, and they were able to view it online, but they also wanted to download the files of the recording, but the download started and stalled at 1% before timing out. This was an issue both for the meeting participants and myself, if viewing it through the link. Any idea what might be causing this? I checked the recording sharing settings on my Zoom account and it is enabled for downloading for anyone viewing the recording.  I was later able to download the files from the Recordings section on my account and share the files in a different way, but this is obviously not ideal, as it requires the use of WeTransfer or a shared folder I can access. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! 

Hello - trying to see if this is a capability. We have a student who joins our calls live and has an ASL interpreter join every call. We spotlight the interpreters, but they do not show up in the recording when our instructor is sharing their screen. They don't speak, so they obviously don't show up in speaker view, and they don't show up in gallery view either when I download the replay. Is this a capability in Zoom to be able to see both spotlighted participants when someone is sharing their screen through the replay? 

How can I control camera brightness?  Are there better quality cameras that have brightness and zoom-in controls?  I constantly have over brightness problems.

Can you access Zoom Chat after a meeting
