Meetings

I use the latest Debian version (5.7.6) of the Zoom client on Ubuntu 20.04. At seemingly random times (but about once or twice every day), the Zoom application starts by itself without any intervention on my part. This happens while the application was previously shut down (i.e. not just minimized). This has been happening ever since I used Zoom on Linux, in all versions of the client, three different computers and at least two versions of Ubuntu (18.04 and 20.04).   I tried searching whether some cron job or something else would cause Zoom to start, but did not find anything. The last time Zoom started by itself, I used htop to see what its parent process was (see attached screenshot), but did not get very far (parent process is /sbin/init).   My two questions are:   Could you explain what is starting Zoom? Could you tell me how to stop it from doing this? Best, Sylvain

I have two Zoom accounts I log into and switch between.  One is work, the other is personal - they have different avatar images so I can tell them apart.  If someone from my company and I are logging into the same meeting that someone ELSE sent the link for, I have to log in through my personal account so that my colleague and I are using different accounts to enter the meeting to avoid connectivity issues.  I used to be able to simply "switch accounts" to the one I needed to use without needing to fully log out and then back in.  Now, regardless of which account I appear to have switched to via the computer app, when I initiate the Zoom, I enter the meeting under my work account.  Interestingly, if I'm in the waiting room, my avatar shows me as entering via my personal account, but once I'm actually IN the meeting, I'm in as my work account.  All other functions switch appropriately when I switch accounts without actually logging out.  It's j

Where do I find the Video Effects button so I can turn it off!!!

I'm techno challenged and very basic.  I teach quilting and occasionally do zoom classes.  Previously, I used my laptop with document camera for one area, but then I had to join from my iPhone camera which was positioned over my sewing machine in another part of the room.  It worked fine.  Recently, I was doing a class, and when I went to sign in from the iPhone camera, I was knocked out of the meeting and couldn't get back in on my computer, and had to try to finish the class holding the iPhone in my hand while trying to sew.  I guess something has changed.  I did look up and follow the instructions in the settings - changing to allowing up to 3 devices, but it says of the same type.  I need a computer for my dox camera and then my phone for over the sewing machine at the same time.  I do not have a young person available to help me.Can someone please help me - in plain, old people language??  LOL. It's probably something super si

I will be sharing a Zoom link via Outlook calendar.  Several parties will join the meeting.  It is important that for one of them their email address is not visible either in the calendar invite or during the meeting.  Does this happen automatically?  As owner and scheduler of the meeting, am I the only person who can see others' email addresses?

Hi Recently when I Zoom my face appears very red like I have HBP and really bad too! But I don't and it does not appear like that in reality. Is there any way to control that? I had a paid account, but since I don't use zoom that much i discontinued that. I wish there was a solution. Your help is appreciated  

I use ZOOM on two devices: my iphone and MacBook Pro. Everything works well on both except for the audio on my macbook. I have the latest updated software ob both but i only face audio problems on the macbook. what could be the reason for it? 

I hosted a meeting last week and I remember saying to myself, "Oh I need to record this" but then I looked at the top right corner and it had the red circle and said "Recording". Of course now I can't find the recording, in the cloud recordings or locally. I checked all over my Zoom account for it - deleted files, etc. No sign of it. Is there anywhere else this could be? I asked the other presenters but they don't have it. What happened?

I have spent many hours over the past two days trying to resolve a serious issue with the Zoom Waiting Room function. Despite following every single step provided by Zoom Support (including enabling the Waiting Room at the account level, locking the setting, reinstalling the app, clearing the Zoom folder, etc.), the issue not only remains but has gotten worse. Now, even when a client joins the meeting, I no longer receive any notification via Zoom or email. I’ve tested this repeatedly using different devices, including my iPhone. No matter whether I join first or let the client join first, there is no sign that someone is waiting to be admitted. The Zoom app window doesn’t show any participants waiting, and I get no email alert. This has made it impossible for me to admit clients to meetings, and I risk losing them because of this. I’ve invested in Zoom for years to support my psychotherapy pract

I have a virtual class when classmates are signed on and enter the meeting we are all displayed in a grid formation.  The teacher is always top upper left, (on my screen) I am always situated next to him.  I never move down into the grid, switch rows, move further left or right etc.  other classmates seem to bounce around in their placement.  But I always occupy the position next to the teacher.  What are the dynamics going on here?  Do others see a similar placement on their screens?  Does what I see and static placement have to do with my settings?  Is the teacher controlling this?  

Is it possible to save  the meeting transcript from a zoom call ? how does one do that ?

I have encountered about 2 black boxes appearing in my presentation during screen sharing since Jan 2022. One blackbox appeared near the top and the other at the bottom. My laptop uses Windows 10 and I have updated the latest software. I have done all the hacks recommended in the Zoom web page, including changing the NVIDIA settings, video settings and screen sharing settings. Yet, I still have the same problem with the black boxes. Please help to resolve this problem. Thank you!

Is there a way to not have my image become large and in charge when I talk during a meeting? I would feel much more comfortable if just my tile was highlighted.

Is there a way to get some webinar-like results using the most economical meeting plan? We are an HOA association and we are contemplating using Zoom Meetings for our Trustee meetings in a way that the residents can observe and remain muted. Ideally, I would like two invitation links… one that forces muting for the residents and one for the Trustees that does not.   However, it looks like a meeting can be setup in a way that everyone or noone get the extra permission-to-unmute question popup upon entering the meeting.  Am I interpreting that correctly?       I would like that the Trustee host doesn't have to specifically unmute the other trustees.    I would also like that the audience members joining the meetings do not distract from the meeting.  Oh, and the Trustees will sometimes be in a conference room.  We can dedicate one laptop to the "

I have a macbook Air running Sonoma 14.6.1. The Facetime HD camera at the top of the screen when running a meeting has three settings under it: Portrait, Studio Light and Reactions. Other people I know have an addtional setting BACKGROUND which has virtual backgrounds that are seemless unlike the standard zoom backgrounds. Does anyone know why I do not have that option or where I could go to get it? Is it the operating system or the zoom? or a setting I missed?  Thanks

MacBook Air 2025 with latest download for Apple Chip is frequently freezing the video both on hosting and not hosting, audio continues fine, some attendees hear an echo.  Had uninstalled and reinstalled including rebooting before re-install.  

I have auto framing off on my macbook and it continues to track my head during meetings. I would like for this feature to be off permanently. 

 I have connected zoom sdk to my project as it is said here: https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/web/component-view/import-sdk/All OK, but I would like to be able to handle the call end event. I use actual lib (not deprecated): javascriptconst ZoomMtgEmbedded = await (await import('@zoom/meetingsdk/embedded')).default; const client = ZoomMtgEmbedded.createClient(); const clientConf = await getAuth(id, role, f_name, l_name); const meetingSDKElement = document.getElementById('meetingSDKElement'); client.init({ zoomAppRoot: meetingSDKElement, language: 'en-US', // leaveUrl: '', // This option was available in the now deprecated library - @zoom/meetingsdk/embedded patchJsMedia: true, leaveOnPageUnload: true, customize: { meetingInfo: ['topic', 'host', 'mn

Running latest Zoom on a Laptop running Windows 10 (just re-installed Zoom so brand new).  All has been fine until a week ago when my C drive filled up.  Cleaned that up but now I can't stream to facebook.  I get the following message in the url line https://zoom.us/client_facebook_signin?code_challenge=[a bunch of letters and numbers]. The error is:  This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action.  Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Setting page. Ok, so the question is what file and what is the app??   Can't take any real action until I know that!  Is it Zoom, Facebook or some other app I don't have.  Both Zoom and Facebook are installed! Thanks for any help

Felt like someone from Zoom Workplace should know their Microsoft Store App has an error and can't install with Intune currently due to: "The selected app does not have a valid latest package version. " It's using the old W32 format and needs updated to the new UWP format to install for windows 24H2 Intune++.  

I found a setting that controls the different sounds you can select for notifications. But I REALLY need to hear a notification when someone enters the waiting room, and that isn't happening. Since Zoom has been changed to force the use of a waiting room, I've had a problem with certain attendees who come to the meetings late while I'm sharing screen+audio, and I miss the visual notification that someone new has arrived. I'm not always focused on my desktop during these meetings (ok, confession -- I actually was distracted during the meeting I was hosting while sharing video). Based on my experiences joining other people's meetings, I've heard such notifications. But I'm not getting them myself -- just the tiny banner that appears. What am I missing? Why am I not getting any audible notification?

I just ended a zoom meeting, shocked by what happenedAfter someone joined a meeting I hosted and while asking him to identify himself - he started cursing everyone  how can I track his phone number or any ID information ? Thank you all in advanced

I have an accessibility question. Is there a way to invert the colors of just the screen share portion of the meeting window (of what someone else is sharing)? Being of low vision I'm ultra sensitive to the traditional white backgrounds of apps. Having everything on my computer in dark mode works well for me, but when on a meeting I'm blinded by someone who shares their screen, and I'm unable to follow along or help them as a result. Being able to invert just the shared portion of a meeting would be life changing. Thanks for any tips or suggestions!

When I use the "test speaker and microphone" option from within zoom the speaker test fails BUT the microphone test works and I can hear the microphone playback through the speakers.  Speakers work for other apps and tests on the laptop which is less than 3 years old. Zoom has worked fine for me with the windows desktop app for 2+ years. I was testing some headphones today in the 1/4" port and when I took them out the speakers no longer work properly in the zoom desktop app. I've tried uninstalling the appCorrect speaker is selected (system speakers built into laptop)Speakers tested and work both through system setting and also if I launch a zoom meeting from the web clientSound is not muted or turned down  Greatly appreciate any assistance.
