Meetings

@608130 , it’s crucial to implement this feature promptly. I host daily meetings with 500 participants in large auditoriums, and the inability to adjust the font size of participants names is a major hindrance. As a result, we’re seriously considering switching to other platforms solely because of this limitation.

Currently, Zoom saves local recordings with folder names that tell us what the meeting name was and what date and time the recording was done. But these settings are not translated into file names. The file names seem more random. We have to move the recording around, e.g., upload it to Vimeo to be shared in other places, so we have to manually name the files by copying and pasting the folder name into the filename. This wastes time and creates the possibility of user error. Is there a way to get to set proper filenames using the meeting names and times? Shouldn't Zoom be doing this by default? 

Hi I joined a meeting as a guest (not logged in) and started recording the meeting to my PC after requesting permission.At the end of the call, I could not locate the recording at all. It’s not in the usual places like Documents>Zoom etc.I’ve read that if the host ends the call too quickly at the end, this could impact the recording downloading to the guests PC. Is this likely what’s happened here?

I have the free 40-minute version of Zoom.Does one need to set up specifically for recordings to be stored on one’s computer ? Where?I tried a few meeting test runs and afterwards can’t locate them anywhere on my computer (I don’t want the cloud storage, just my own laptop).Does anyone know how to store meeting recordings on one’s computer?

I am the owner of a Pro account since 2023. I had no need to use break-out rooms before. Now that my work requires break-out rooms I cannot find that feature. I’ve tried on my laptop and phone to no avail. I have email support, read articles, chatbot but no success. I have followed all the steps given by chatbot and the article that is: login into my account, go to the left had panel; click account management, click advance, click meetings there no such feature as break-out room under meeting to enable. what could be the problem?

My profilephoto is installed, shown in zoomsession via website, but not via zoomsession app

I find it very distracting when the camera tracks my face in a meeting and the image of me in the frame appears to move along with my movement.  Is this a Zoom problem or an Apple issue (I am running Mac OS Tahoe)?  Is there something I can do to keep the screen static?  Thanks for your help.

Good morning. Frantic NOOB here. Mistakenly set my H6Essential device to what might be an Asian language and no way to navigate through device to do a factory reset. Anyone out there have the answer?

Must resolve this remotely. No on-site audio technician.Zoom Meeting Configuration: Board ‘Meeting Room’ setting, Host / owner is remote. Presenter is a ‘Panelist’ in ‘Meeting Room’ with other people there.  Numerous people are off-site listening / viewing, sometimes commenting. Audio configuration in ‘Meeting Room’. Presenter wears a clip mic. There is another mic that picks up comments from those in the meeting room. Sound from both mics go through a mixer and into a dedicated speaker computer and it sends video and audio to Zoom-land. People in the ‘Meeting Room’ are NOT technical. Host is semi-technical.EVERYTHING WORKED FINE FOR MANY MONTHS. Yesterday it tanked. Yesterday: Presenter sounded like he was speaking in a cave. Knew something about changing settings and clicked (bottom left corner) on ‘Audio’ then saw Microphone Mode settings and then turned ON Noise Removal (default). Audio suddenly went back to the way it always was. Sounded great again.

Hi everyone 👋I’ve recently started hosting larger Zoom meetings (50+ participants) regularly, and I’m running into intermittent screen-sharing problems when more than one person tries to share at once in scheduled sessions. Sometimes the screen stops updating or participants report lag, even though my internet is stable.Before posting here I searched to see if others have asked about this already, but I didn’t find the exact scenario I’m experiencing. I want to make sure I’m following Zoom best practices and not missing a setting that could help.Here’s what I’m doing so far: Enabling “Host only” screen sharing for large webinars. Making sure all participants have the latest Zoom version. Using stable wired internet for my meetings. My questions for the community are: Are there recommended settings in Zoom Meetings (for example, ad

How does one find one's pin or set a pin number in one's zoom account.  The great brains at Zoom have not made this intuitive. 

After our zoom meetings, we send the recorded meeting to our users. However when they enter the secret code, they receive a message of wrong secret code and cannot access the recorded meeting. 

I got off the plan that cost $18/month because it had more bells and whistles than I needed and was offered Zoom basic for $7.99/month.  I am supposed to get four meetings per month that can go beyond 40 minutes, but in fact all of my meetings are being cut off at 40 minutes.  Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, have you found a solution besides just giving up on Zoom basic?  

I love Zoom. It’s the best webinar platform. HOWEVER, there are two features that I absolutely HATE:When I join a meeting, Zoom launches an extremely annoying calendar that I have absolutely no use for. I could ignore it, but I tend to close it because I don’t want it there. This is an extra step that‘s reminds me of when a person sticks a flyer on my car that I have absolutely no interest in: it’s like they’re saying, “Here, you throw this away.” [Mitch Hedberg] After leaving a meeting, ZΩOM KEEPS RUNNING FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. I don’t want apps running that I’m not using. No other app I use does this. I don’t understand why it’s doing this, other than so that I don’t have to relaunch it next time - BUT I WANT TO BE THE ONE TO DECIDE TO LEAVE IT RUNNING OR NOT.Is there a way to:Make the calendar NOT open when I join a meeting? Make Zoom QUIT COMPLETELY when I leave a meeting?

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m reaching out to get some advice from experienced users and experts here in the Zoom Community.Here’s what I’m experiencing:• Zoom Version: [e.g., 6.xx.x — Desktop/Mobile]• Platform: [Windows / macOS / Android / iOS]• Problem started: [Date or after update]• Description:[Write a clear description of the issue you’re facing — e.g., screen sharing not working, audio issues, meeting settings, etc.]I’ve tried the following troubleshooting steps so far: [Step 1 — e.g., reinstalling Zoom] [Step 2 — e.g., checking audio/video settings] [Step 3 — any logs or error messages] Despite these steps, this issue still persists. I’m hoping someone here might know what’s going on or has a suggestion that can help. 😊Questi

HiI have been teaching on zoom for 6 years - and yesterday I found the meeting links were not sent out. I did what I normally do - arrange a meeting, then click send email. No emails went… why could that be? Has anyone else suddenly found this? Thanks 

Help!    I have tried everything:  - uninstall and reinstall - audio test (correct  - only - speakers and volume up to 100%) - Clearing cache - checking permissions - adjusting computer audio settings (various...remind me)   This is only happening on my new laptop. When I sign into my old one it works fine.    What the issue it:  When I test speakers, you basically can't hear anything. When I put my head really close to the computer, I can hear the very very faint ring tone. Computer audio is on. Sometimes it makes a brief sound or crack before going quiet. The microphone test works perfectly.    Any ideas? The new computer is a ASUS Zenbook pro.

I began receiving this message, "An unknown error has occurred" a month ago when trying to Live stream a Meeting to my Facebook profile.  How can I resolve this?

I used to have a Zoom paid account as president of our local photo club, and my Zoom meeting login name was admin.photo club. I transferred this to another committee member, and now use my personal but unpaid Zoom account for logging in to other personal meetings. But my name still comes up as admin.photo club, and I have to change it after logging in, to my real name. How can I get it permanently changed? Thanks,   Richard Stern

Hi there, I have a recurring meeting for next 10 weeks. I was alerted by someone trying to register that some of the sessions are greyed out on the registration page. I think this is because it was going over 100 people, so i just paid more to upgrade to 500 people. But when i click on registration, the same sessions are still greyed out. I’ve checked my account and says 500 limit for meetings so seems to have taken effect… Any tips?  

Hi folks, We have automatic closed captioning enabled but during zoom meeting the option for CC is not appearing. Is anyone else having these issues recently? Previously we had auto CC enabled but in meeting the option that would show up was for manual CC. I made sure that manual CC was disabled and auto CC enabled, through the web portal. During zoom meeting the option for CC still prompted us to assign someone to manually do CC. I went through this meeting to the settings and noticed that manual CC had somehow been enabled, even though we had just disabled it. After disabling, again, and making sure the auto CC was still enabled, the zoom meeting no longer had the CC option at all. I rebooted Zoom. Signed out and signed back in. Restarted my computer, and the problem persists... Help...

Is it possible to have a second meeting ID for exclusive use with a select client who is looking for this?

I have tried everything. Restarting it, reinstalling it, checking permissions, making sure no other apps are using the webcam, making sure it's up to date. The mic works fine, and the video works everywhere else but Zoom.   I have a Pro, with an M2 Pro chip, and it's running on Sequoia 15.5. I thought I'd be able to get connected with an agent to help, but Zoom so kindly put their live chat feature behind a paywall. Is there anyone who experienced this problem too?

When I am in the main meeting, I have audio and video without an issue. However, when assigned to my breakout rooms, I lose the audio stream and cannot hear what is being said. This has happened on a couple of occasions to me. It has also happened where I have audio in the breakout rooms but lose it when re-entering the main meeting. The video stream is intact and clear (i.e. no signs of poor connection). I have tried using my Mac speaker/microphone as well as AirPods Pro, but the issue has not resolved. 

Good morning, I would like to know if some of you experience high CPU consumption with the latest version of Zoom Workplace.I'm on macOS 26 and since the automatic update on Tuesday, February 10 (version 6.7.5 (75246)), I have a very high CPU consumption (between 100% and 140%) and this logically impacts the battery of my macbook.One of the people around me has the same problem. I couldn't go any further in the exploration for the moment.This is the reason for my message.
