Original Sound by Default

Hello - just updated zoom today (11.02.22) and it seems like Original Sound needs to be turned on manually every time now.

 

For the last few months it was already always on once I did it initially ... and this was so amazing. No more messing up meetings where I share audio or workshops where we're working on music things and I just know its going to sound amazing from the beginning without the extra awkward "wait let me turn on original sound".

 

Is there a way for me to turn original sound on and let it be that way forever on the newest version? If not...can this become a thing please?

      Agree - it was a huge plus for us to be able to save "use original sound" as the default setting since we use it for every single meeting (fitness studio classes). We used to have a lot of audio issues due to the instructor forgetting to enable original sound at the beginning of class. Please tell me there is still a way to do this.

        Absolutely agree ... this seems like a downgrade. Just make it a preference we can set!

              I used this at my yoga studio.  It’s disappointing that Zoom would take away a feature for no good reason.  Bring it back Zoom!

                I have also noticed Original Sound on by default is now missing.  We host church services on Zoom, with live music, etc. and the Original Sound  default ON is critical.  Why did it go away?  Otherwise, someone must remember to turn in on each time.  Not always easy in the rush to get everything ready each time!

                  We have multiple teachers using the system and combine music, voice and gong.  Zoom completely Mutes a gong with noise suppression on.  Why would they remove a valuable feature?

                    Has Zoom addressed this huge error? What were they thinking.

                      Completely agree!

                      Put back the ability to have original sound always on. It is dumb to ask your customers to enable it manually for every meeting.

                        Seems to be plenty support for this. 

                         

                        Lets see if Zoom are actually listening their paying customers. 

                         

                        Is seems Zoom is going the way of so many developers, cramming in features that one one wants and bloating the program. But screwing up features we need. 

                         

                        Really, who need pirate hats and avatars?  The kids are all on Tik-Tok or Snapchat.  Get serious.

                          Just taught a class and sound dropped out completely in the middle of class!  Didn't know I had to turn on Original sound for musicians.  Not sure if original sound for musicians is the same as the old original sound turned on?  So now I have another thing to check  each time I teach! UGH
