Meetings

I know how to rename Zoom participants once they’ve joined a meeting.  My question today is:  How can the host rename people when they are still in the waiting room?  I need to ensure  anonymity for some of the work I do and it’s a challenge for me to rush changing the names ASAP when people join in [and i know that even for a fraction of a second, the name might be visible to everyone].  If I could do it before people were let into the Zoom discussion, that would be great. 

Went back to check the meeting registration for a scheduled mtg snd It is not listed on my schedule. Where is it and why is this happening? 

Recently both my wife and I when using Zoom have started to have a continuous flow of banners going across the bottom of our screen promoting the various features of Zoom. Not sure I’m using the correct words but they’re very distracting. We can see the person we’re having a Zoom with but it’s this constant stream running across the bottom. How do I switch it off

I setup a livestream in advance,When I connected the livestreaming app to this advanced recording, I also saw my previous recording it did for me a few days ago be deleted !!!When I stopped this livestream, which was seen ok on Youtube, the live stream was deleted when the recording ended.Please make sure you have a cloud recording, or local recording for backup as when things are deleted by youtube, they CAN NOT BE RECOVERRED.All the best to you allJohnYes, Even Zoom Community Super Champions have problems some times!!!  

I have enabled:record video during screen sharing show video and screen share side by sideBut it does not record me side by side - only when I stop sharing.

For zoom meetings in my group I will copy and paste the zoom link in our chat for easy access. Recently, when I paste the link a WhatsApp phone number shows in the pasted message even though the WhatsApp number is not in the original message. When I try to edit the number out the number doesn't appear in in the edit box. What can I do to stop the WhatsApp number from appearing. I do have WhatsApp on my phone but I rarely use it and only to read messages, not send 

Hi, I’ve been having this issue with my mouse cursor for a month. It started happening after I updated my Windows version to Windows 11, but I’m not sure whether these events are connected or not. When I’m sharing a PPT or Google Slides, which are the main content I usually share, everything works normally. However, whenever I need to transition to a new tab, such as Google Docs or Youtube, while still screen sharing, my mouse cursor completely disappears and I cannot do anything about it. It has been so frustrating, because I cannot click on anything, not even on “stop sharing”, and I just have to wait for it to be back. My students say they still see my mouse cursor as I’m moving it desperately trying to get its control back.  I have searched for a solution for this issue in this forum, but most of the results I got are from years and years ago, and none of the recommendations given solved my problem - such as updating Zoom’s version. Can some

Hello, I'm trying to record a class, I would like my students to see me talking, but I do not want the recording to include the faces of talking students. Ideally I'd share the screen as well as the host video camera, but when others speak it would still show only me, or alternatively a black box where they are. Is this an option, and if so how do I use it.

I have a MacBook Pro and Chrome browser that I am using for a live music recital.  I struggle with knowing exactly how to set up the meeting with the correct audio settings for the Listener/Viewer.  Do I determine the correct audio settings when I create the meeting or when I actually begin the meeting?  I did this before and something wasn’t right but couldn’t determine what exactly was wrong. Grateful for some guidelines.Ed 

I just logged into try and schedule some meetings and the whole interface has been changed.  I go to click on meetings and it gives me the option to "host" or "join" a meeting....  Sigh.....  Where the heck did they move the dashboard when you used to log into your account and it launched right then and there.  Now it's filled with all sorts of garbage promoting more services to buy that don't interest me and clutter up my screen. And, where do you request support to chat with a support agent?  I'm not interested in their stupid AI bots. I don't understand why they have to make things harder.

I am a private tutor.  My students just come to my personal meeting room.  For the last six years, every time I’ve opened my room I click “host tools” and then “allow screen share.”  Seemed weird I couldn’t just do that by default, but it was fast.Today, after the update, I open the meeting room and have to go to “host tools” then go off to the side and click “advanced” (not “participants” which would be logical) then “share” then choose “all participants” from the dropdown menu, then close the sidebar that opened.That is wayyyyy too many clicks for something that I have to do every. single. time.Is there no option to just always allow participants to screen share?Why update an app in 2026 to make it remind me of a Blackberry phone from 2005?

カメラが起動せず、ミーティング時に自分の顔が表示されません。今までは使えていたのですが、先日いきなり真っ暗になってしまいました。バーチャル背景等も映らず真っ暗な画面のままです。再起動、デバイス側の設定の確認、再インストール等も試しましたが、解決しません。他のアプリ（GooglemeetやMicrosoft teams、Windowsのカメラアプリ）ではカメラが正常に使用できたため、カメラの故障ではありません。マイクは問題なく使用できます。カメラだけがどうやっても真っ暗なままです。対処法をご存知の方いらっしゃいますでしょうか。

I need to know how to change my (default) Display Name. My Account Settings show "Don Rose" but whenever I join a Zoom session, it always displays my email address (don@mchenrycountyhistory.org).If the host allows it, I can change it during the session, but that's typically not the case and is very inconvenient.Please reply with clear directions on how to fix things so my email address is not the default display name.

I am using the zoom mobile app on a Galaxy S22.  When I attempt to share a PowerPoint Point presentation using the share screen single app option but it will open for a second then the app no longer shows and the option to share reappears. 

I selected the "None" option for the virtual background, yet a virtual background is still being applied; Zoom is unable to display my actual surroundings. I have already turned off "I have a green screen". by the way I got a Mac.

Hi,I’ve been running into an issue when I try to share desktop screen both on mac and windows.As you can see below, zoom doesn’t suggest to share any of them, I’am just able to share windows application :   While the following option is unchecked :   Since I couldn't figure it out, I decided to create another free 7days pro account for testing purpose, and guess what ? It works :   After logging in to my other user account, I still have the same problem.So,

I tried to use ZOOM in my Windows 11 PC and I cannot login because the software requires me to do an update to version 6.7.2 or higher in order to continue using ZOOM. I need to do that update but the ZOOM program asks me to do it by contacting the IT team. The message displayed on the screen is as follows: “Your app version needs to be 6.7.2 (26346) or higher to sign in. Please contact your IT team to update your app.” I have ZOOM installed also in my Android smartphone, with the same ZOOM account, moshe.goldstein@mail.huji.ac.il. The ZOOM’s version of that installation is 6.7.5 (37428). Because of that, I do not have any problem to sign in to ZOOM from my smartphone.   Until now my ZOOM account  has been a Hebrew University of Jerusalem “Licensed” account. I retired from my position at the Hebrew University and I need to discontinue the “Licensed” status of my account and downgrade it to “Guest” in order to disconnect it from my past emplo

I work on the news and the most recent update screwed up our system and now if someone else has low bandwidth and we have them off camera it decreases the size of the shot and absolutely ruins it. I can't find a way to disable the low bandwidth notification and when I look up how online I either get outdated tutorials that don't work. Or it says that there's no way to disable the notification. If anyone has a solution please tell me.

We are having issues with trying to record to the cloud. We have turned on the settings to record to the cloud and get the transcript. The steps have been followed when the record button has been pressed but the recording is not showing up after. Is there something else going on we haven't done that could get the recording to show up along with the transcript?

Does anyone have a similar problem, what should I do?😭 Every now and then, when I connect to a conference without a specified start time, I am not visible in the waiting room (and if at that moment I create my own conference, no one is visible in the waiting room). Everything is fine with my device (connecting from another device also does not work), the Internet is great, the application is updated to the latest version (and I also tried deleting it and downloading it again), Windows, BIOS, drivers, etc. are also updated to the latest version. I even created a second account - nothing helps in instantly resolving the situation. The support service does not help me at all, they write monotonous advice and nothing helps!😡

At work, there are instances when a Zoom meeting isn’t scheduled and we are meeting in person. When clicking share on the home screen on the Zoom app, it projects a mirror of my screen in the meeting. My laptop display doesn’t seem to allow me to select extend display so that I can treat the projection as a second screen. Is there a way to treat my laptop and the projection in the meeting to be two separate screen? Or, is there a way for me to use the share option on the Zoom home screen but have it give me the picker instead of automatically share my full screen? I want to project a presentation to screen but see notes on my laptop.

I am a consultant who conducts lots of interviews for projects. I have always used otter.ai for notes and then downloaded them into word. I was told by someone that the new Zoom note-taker is better because it knows how is talking and can attribute the words correctly. I have been using it the last two days and it is very good and accurate. I have is that I now have 10 separate AI Docs with transcripts. The problem is what when I try to download into Word or PDF, the only thing on the document that is downloaded is the generic Zoom title; not the actual transcript. Is there a way to do this wihout having to copy/past each entire transcript into a Word doc on my desktop?
