Meetings

Hello,I am a licensed Zoom host and use Zoom daily for teaching. Since the most recent update, the annotation tools have been reduced and this has made my work much more difficult:• The Text tool is no longer available in the annotation toolbar.• The colour options have been reduced from 16 colours down to only 4, and the white colour is missing completely.These features were essential for teaching — especially when annotating during lessons to highlight different answers, write in different colours for clarity, and use text boxes. Losing them has negatively affected both my teaching flow and the learning experience for my students.Please could you let me know:• If this change was intentional or a bug.• Whether Zoom plans to restore the full set of annotation tools (text + full colour palette).As a paying customer, I strongly request that these tools be reinstated, or that the same functionality is made available within the cla

My synagogue host zoom during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.  Participants can hear everything except when the Rabbi blows the Shofer.  Has anyone had this problem and how they were able to resolve it?  Any help would be most appreciated.

Zoom Audio not working on Windows 10 I have tried every tutorial/guide on the internet and nothing is working! Please HelpNo audio from zoom while on earphones. I cannot hear others' audio or speak while plugged in my earphone.- I am unmuted- My earphones work when using other software and websites but just not zoom(e.g. skype, youtube, etc)Things I have tried:- Changed the input and output audio settings in zoom to 1) the same as system and 2) to my earphones- Tried the "test speaker and microphone" and failed in every test- Used different earphones to plug into the earphone jack -> same result, no audio output or input (My Bluetooth wireless buds works on zoom without audio issue but not wired earphones )- Make sure system > advanced sound op

Hello, In some of our meetings, we’ve set it up so the alternative host can start the meeting without our onsite support. If any issues come up, we’ll join as a co-host to assist. However, we’ve noticed that when we as the organizers are about to join, Zoom still shows the “Start” option, even if the meeting has already been started by the alternative host. In the Workplace app, the notification also says the meeting is “20 minutes past the scheduled time, please start it,” which can be confusing if another team member doesn’t realize the meeting is already running.It would be much clearer if the notification popped up as something like:“The alternative host has started the meeting. Join?”orSimply changing the “Start” button to “Join” once the meeting has already been started by the alternative host.This small adjustment would help avoid confusion for our team. Thank

When I connect my AirPods Pro 2 to my Windows laptop, they work fine, I hear audio in all apps, I hear the test tone when I change volume in the Windows audio mixer. The moment Zoom opens, they stop playing. I cannot hear a thing in Zoom, I cannot hear a thing anywhere else, the headphones are effectively muted. This persists even if I kill zoom. If I disconnect and reconnect my headphones, audio works again, until Zoom is opened.When this issue occurs, visual guides (meters) representing the audio playing in the system or Zoom app do indicate playback, but no audio is audible.This happens only with Zoom, other communication apps are fine, repro rate on this is 100%. I am connected to correct headphones, the audio device is unmuted in the system. When these headphones are used without Zoom app, they work as expected.

Zoom does not follow normal Windows conventions, when you select the X in the upper right corner of the program it does not close (exit) the program, it just reduces it to the back ground. This is the function of the - button just over from the X button. I realize that some user want to keep zoom running at all times and it is a benefit to those users, but there are also users that do not benefit from this behavior. I know I can right click on the icon in the task bar or tray and select exit, but why should I have to do that. It is Windows convention that the - button reduces the program and the X key closes (exits) the program. This is virus like activity by zoom.  Please get with the program and give us an option in the settings so uses can choose this action of they want it, even make it the default action. Let those that do not want it the ability to have Zoom act like a normal Windows program. 

I'm using Zoom version 5.7.5 (939), on laptop with AMD Ryzen 3 4300U chipset.Everytime I share audio from my laptop, both audio sharing only or from presentation, participants will hear cracked sound (buzzy noise). The shared audio sound quality is very bad.I did uninstall, restart, then reinstall, yet the problem is still persist.I also have the problem of participants VDO may freeze from time to time as well.I never have these problems on the previous update.How should I fix these problem?Thank you in advance for your supports 🙂

When hosting a meeting, my Waiting Room disappears mid-meeting and I don 't get notifications and I can't see people waiting (I know they are in "a" waiting room because they either text another participant or put it in Meetup chat). I can't bring up a waiting room, and they don't seem to be able to get in even if I've disabled the waiting room. I haven't limited the number of participants (there would be twenty at most) and I have a paid membership. Is something timing out at a certain time after the start time?

We are going to build one app in zoom marketplace which will run in-client app when meeting is going on. our app is developed in reactjs(frontend) and python (backend) and llm model (AWS) which detect the deepfake detection. now we don’t have any authorization in our app, we are going to use zoom app oAuth for same.so current flow is like that, when user install our app, it redirect to oauth URL which we have mentioned frontend url and it send ‘code’ param and its value. now this all process happnes in the browser either chrome or firefox now we wanted this ‘code’ value in our app, it means that ‘in-client’ app, so from the app we can send this code to backend using api and they can generate access and refresh token based on the code received.Currently problem is like that, code generated but it all in chrome (external browser) while we are calling API of backend from our in-client app. so how can we fix this issue or what workflow should to follow?

The automatic hand-lowering feature disrupts the queueing process our large Fellowship uses and disrupts the flow of the meeting. This problem is universally disliked by the many thousands of members who attend our world-wide meetings. Please make it optional at the host or meeting level settings.  Thank you.

我的中国网友在加入zoom时收到了这个提示。请问该如何处理？

We contracted with a funeral home recently to stream & record a funeral service, via Zoom, and to save it to the cloud. Apparently the livestream worked fine; however, the funeral home has not been able to find the recording anywhere. (I don't think they're particularly computer-literate, to be frank.) Is there any way to find and retrieve the file directly, as the funeral home has apparently given up trying? It's very important to the family members who weren't able to attend... Thanks in advance.

As described in subject, how to do it?export ZOOM_CONFIG_DIR="$HOME/.local/zoom" not working...

I read about virtual backgrounds. In the page I read first, it said I can use a virtual background instead of a static image. The virtual background isn't working because all I see is my background and not myself. Can I instead get Zoom to use a picture on my computer? If so, how do I do that? I can only see how to add a virtual background.  Or, why can I see only the virtual background and not myself via my camera? I really want to mask what is behind me. Thanks. Duncan

Hello. When I open my application, it stays on the "connecting screen" and I cannot load the application. Sometimes I am able to get to the meeting code part by launching the application through the browser, but it stays connecting and then says failed to connect and gives the error code "5003." I use Linux Mint and Mullvad VPN. Thank you!

. When I open my Zoom meeting on my computer it goes onto my phone automatically And my video disappears on my computer. Not what I want. 

My old email shut down, so I deleted that account with Zoom and logged out. Then I opened a new account with my new email address and logged in on the new account. When I tried to start a new meeting, I get an error message, "Can't connect to the account [and it names my old account that I deleted and logged out of]." I'm not trying to connect with that old account; I deleted it. So I'm stuck in this computer death loop. I've checked my account settings, and it's the new address, not the old one. The "from" email (to start a new meeting) is the new one. And yet I keep getting stopped by "can't connect to [the old account]." So frustrating, and Zoom won't give me any human support because I'm a free user; the AI support for something like this is totally worthless.I'm assuming there's something in the guts that is finding and dredging up the old account, but I can't get into the guts. I've deleted all my cookies on my computer. And yet still the old account is in the way.

I have a meeting with more than 120 users breaking into 4 rooms (30 members in each room), can I record these room in Full HD, does any one know how to do it?

I was using Zoom for a long time and annotate tool was there when someone else was sharing screen I was able to draw on it - now there is no option for annotate - why is that? I've even update to the newest version, everybody uses Zoom app and not the browser and I ve annotates enabled in my account.. There is no Annotate in drop down menu View options if someone is sharing their screen, I cannot draw on it. But the function appears when someone share whiteboard or an image..

Where in the user interface is the option for Zoom Workplace Basic Plus customers to extend a meeting beyond the 40-minute max? I'm not seeing the option in the UI. (If this is answered in another thread, please point me there, however I was unable to find.)-Thank you!

My device appears to have the requirements for virtual backgrounds or blurr but Zoom tells me it doesn't. I looked them up. What can I do now?

I am having a problem with the chat and participant boxes covering the presentation since the last update.  The participant see a black box & the host is unable to make the chat & participant boxes narrow enough so not to cover the slide as with an earlier version of zoom. Any recommendations would be helpful. Jaki

I can not launch my zoom meeting on my Xiaomi Pad 6. I already clear cache, restart, update, install uninstall zoom, untick desktop site. But still can not launch zoom meeting. Please help

 TLDR: Zoom should add simple, "mindless" focus games and activities into the meeting sidebar to help workers with flighty attention spans (such as those with ADHD) engage more deeply and maintain focus on the meeting's content.Hello,If you or someone you know struggles with maintaining focus in long meetings, you understand the challenge. To cope, many of us resort to secondary activities: scrolling a phone off-camera, doodling on a notepad, or taking obsessive notes far beyond what's necessary.The problem with these coping mechanisms is that they almost always draw our eyes and, eventually, our minds away from the screen. This can make us appear disengaged to colleagues and can, ironically, cause us to lose track of the conversation we're trying so hard to follow.My suggestion is for Zoom to integrate a suite of optional "Focus Tools" or "Focus Games" directly into the meeting UI, perhaps in a c
