Meetings

Hello - My camera has stopped working in Zoom calls. It is a built in camera on my Lenovo computer. My Camera app works and my video works on Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. Here are the steps I've done so farLog out, log back inConfirmed Security permissions are turned on for the Camera on ZoomConfirmed my built in camera slider is in the proper positionConfirmed no other application is open using my cameraUpgraded ZoomRebootedUninstalled and reinstalled ZoomThe camera video feed just remains black and my camera light on my computer slowly flashes a couple of times before stopping altogether. I have received a message once saying the background was taking a long time to load and asked if I wanted to proceed without the background (I had Blur turned on), and I said yes, but it still didnt work. I have since turned blur off and the camera still doesnt work. 

Hi everyone, I had an important meeting but I can't open the file. I get the message “Cannot open document ‘double_click_to_convert_01.zoom’. zoom.us cannot open a file of this type.”I tried to find a solution on the internet, and one looked good (make a new recording, pause, and move the “broken” files to a new folder, stop recording). But that didn't work. I don't know what to do anymore. I have a MAC. 

Hi there,  I have the Zoom Pro licence. I am the one using the licence, but have added an admin with a basic account. Even though I have granted the role of admin, he cannot see any cloud recordings.How and where can I change that? I have been searching for answer for about an hour now and am still clueless Best regardsTimo

For some reason this week 1/8/2023 when i am on a zoom call my screen is just a blank grey screen with a laptop icon in the middle of it when the camera is on. There seems to be no way to actually to speak to anyone if you live in the UK for technical support and the bot is as useful as a chocolate teapot. Any suggestions as to why this 

I am trying to demonstrate some things to my participants using Share Screen, Screen.  It was my understanding that when I choose the Screen option, participants could see WHATEVER is on my screen.  So, first question:  Is that true or false? In particular, I was logged into my Zoom account via my web browser and was showing some of the back office features.  But when I then opened the Zoom APP on my desktop, the interface popped up as usual and I could see it, but my participants could not. Wondering if there's a conflict with being logged in via we browser AND being logged in on the app at the same time? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

Hello! My Zoom app keeps on crashing when joining a meeting, it would open the audio and video preview window then once I click join, it would crash and attempt a rejoin but crash again. However, when joining through the web app it works perfectly fine and also when starting my own meeting. I have restarted my laptop, updated all drivers (video and audio), did a cleanzoom uninstall and reinstalled Zoom's latest version, and disabled hardware acceleration in the Zoom settings. I have also adjusted the sample rate and bit depth of my recording devices seeing how this fixed the same issue for others in the Zoom Forums, unfortunately this didn't fix it for me . 

I can't disable the passcode for meeting(toggle is grayed and shows locked) even though the waiting room is enabled. Isn't it supposed to be one or another? Or did they changed the regulations? (Still showing atleast one of the security measures are required in the security settings). 

Hi, After polls host shares results with participants. But participants only see the percentage displayed. is there a way so they can see the counts without sharing host's screen??Please advise. Thanks.

Hello, my Zoom is having an issue. When I watch a video shared through Zoom (the video has both voice and music), I can only hear the voice in the video, but not the music.I’ve tried using a different headset, but it still doesn’t work.When I play the video directly on my computer, I can hear it normally.The issue only occurs when I play it on Zoom or when someone shares it with me on Zoom.The same issue happens on my phone as well."Thank you

When I start a meeting, it automatically open in full screen mode. Is there a way to change this? I'm not referring to sharing a screen, it's when I start a meeting.

I recorded two zoom meetings (6hours & 3 hours) on my desktop. Both of the video seemed being recorded smoothly,  but when I opened the mp4 video, both of them don't show the screen. I can hear the voice, but I cannot see anything. The screen is all black. Is there anyone who knows the reason and how to fix this? Thank you. 

Hello Up until now, Zoom could not find the solution where sharing my screen of not having those dark shadows projected to the viewwer. Pls update and change that so those dark shadows are not seen by our audience viewer. This issue does not happen in gmeet, teams, or webex, only in Zoom. Please try to fix that.I think I made myself clear. If there is already a know hoy for that, please share it.Zoom is one of the best for the many features it has, only the problem mentioned above is the issue.Pls acknowledge receipt and replyRgds 

In a setting where Zoom is used to conduct a seminar, sessions are recorded with the “active speaker” option enabled, meaning whoever speaks gets featured in the main window (not gallery view), and hence should theoretically get featured in the recording (local recording enabled, in this case). Never had a problem with this setup until recently (September 2021).   The issue is as follow. The active speaker appears (is featured) in the main window, but the recording instead records the screen of someone else in the attendance (not speaking, apparently at random).  Hence, the actual active speaker does not appear in the recording, even if during the event the active speaker does occupy the main window. Instead, we get the recording of someone listening to the active speaker (and the sound of the active speaker). There is no way of knowing there is an issue with the recording until it’s too late. Any idea about how to prevent or fix this issue?

When I record meetings, Zoom is only recording the video of the person who has joined the meeting, not my video. It used to switch back and forth depending on the active speaker, but now that has changed. I'm a coach and having both sides of the conversation is essential for my business. It will record both videos in Gallery Mode, but not Speaker Mode.   I have tried "See myself as active speaker," but that's an untenable solution. I need to see my client's facial expression while I am speaking to do my job, and it's very jarring/unpleasant to see myself speaking.    Is this happening to anyone else? is there a known fix for it? If I don't get this fixed, I'll have to leave Zoom and find another solution because this is an essential part of my business. 

My microphone has a delay during meetings; I start speaking and no one can hear me, it takes several seconds to activate. I have an Acer DTSX laptop and Windows 11. Can you help me?

Hello, I have a Samsung tablet A which I've recently had to reset and now will not allow me to download zoom. I have Android 8.0 at present with no updates available. My understanding is I can get an older version of zoom which hopefully might work.  Is this the only solution and are there any older versions I can download? Had zoom previously and worked fine.

The “Live Streaming” alert that shows up when using the Fathom app is confusing and inaccurate. Fathom is not live streaming to a public platform — it’s recording for private transcription. This alert disrupts client trust and should be revisited. Please allow us to disable it or show a more accurate message.

Hi! I'm trying to use Zoom Desktop on my laptop that is running Ubuntu Linux 25.10 with KDE installed :I installed the RPM (but also tried Flatpack and Snap) and am having some troubles with the scaling of the application. I have a 2k display and the display scaling is set to 125% and it works on all applications (QT and GTK) except for Zoom: The font is very small on the one hand side and on the other hand side I cannot schedule meetings as the window that opens when scheduling a new meeting does not fit into displayed pane and I cannot scroll in it (and reach the "Save" button to save the meeting) - see the screenshot https://snipboard.io/V0aqZK.jpg  

I can schedule a Recurring Meeting but it dis not show up on the recurring dates.  Only the initial meeting shows.  This behavior occurs on the Windows desktop app and the web app.   Are the meetings actually being scheduled?  How can I confirm this if I can't see them on the Upcoming page? Zoom Workspace is V 6.3.5 (54827)  dated 1/7/2025.

My PC restarts at irregular intervals during a Zoom meeting. I assume it just shuts down and restarts, but there is no blue screen.Has anyone else experienced this problem?Both Windows and Zoom are up to date with the latest updates.

Good morning, I’d like to ask a question regarding the use of Zoom Meetings. Is it possible to check through the logs whether a user has used the “Lock Meeting” option? I need to understand if there is a way to verify whether that feature was used or not.Thank you.

I share my computer audio quite frequently, and about 9/10 times, it works just fine. However, sometimes I get this "To share your computer audio, please install the zoom audio device" message, asking for my username and password. If I click cancel, it shows that I'm sharing my computer sound, but participants can't hear what I'm playing. If I enter my password, everything on my end goes silent. I can't hear my own audio that I'm playing, or anything from the participants, but they can hear my audio. It seems the only resolution is for me to enter my password, leave zoom, and come back in.  As you might guess, this is EXTREMELY inconvenient and frustrating. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to why this happens?

I'd like to upgrade from Workplace Pro to Workplace Business Plus.  I don't see it as an option from the web portal under Plans and Billing>Plan Management. When I click the Manage button next to my current plan (Pro) it only gives me the option to upgrade to Pro Plus. Is there another place to upgrade to Business Plus? When I sign out and then navigate to plan pricing, I can add it to my cart for $269.90 annually however when asked to create an account or sign in, I select sign in and then the ability to add to cart disappears. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks,Betsy

Hello, I'm using the Zoom API to integrate it into our eLearning website. From there, I create a meeting [users/{$hostEmail}/meetings] with the following options:'host_video' => true,'participant_video' => false,'join_before_host' => false,'mute_upon_entry' => true,'auto_recording' => 'cloud','waiting_room' => false,'approval_type' => 2,'meeting_authentication' => trueThen, from the API, I also create the student accounts [/users] with the option: 'action' => "autoCreate"I retrieve the start_url for the teacher from the class creation process, and the teacher connects directly from that URL. I'm retrieving the join_url for the student connection, but it always asks for a username and password.How can I bypass the login screen and have the student join the meeting directly?I've tried creating a ZAK for the student and passing it to the join_url, I've tried using a user
