Question

Breakout rooms taking too long

Hi, as presenter I used to be able to go in and out of breakout rooms real quickly. This has slowed down to up to 30 seconds, which is annoying and slows down the pace of my lesson. How can this be fixed? Thanks!

    I am also having this issue with one of our staff members.  We are using 2020 Macbook Air with M1.

    Yes, it's really annoying. I've cleared my cache, reinstalled Zoom, etc etc and have a similar DELL PC on which this doesn't happen, nor on my laptop. It only happens on my PC I use for teaching. I wonder if it would help if I install Windows 11? I haven't had any response from Zoom re this.

    I raised a ticket with Zoom. They sent me cleanzoom.exe to uninstall, and a link to reinstall the new version. Problem is solved.

    Run CleanZoom to remove Zoom completely

    To remove Zoom completely, including any configuration files, run CleanZoom on your device.

    1. Download and run CleanZoom.
      Note: Use of the clean uninstaller will completely remove the Zoom desktop client, as well as the Zoom plugin for Outlook. The Outlook add-in, Chrome/Firefox extensions, and Google Workspace add-on are unaffected.
    2. Once completed, download Zoom from our download center and reinstall.

    Hi. Is there a mac version of zoomclean? I uninstalled zoom, restarted my mac, then installed zoom and I am still lagging. I will say that when my mac was new this was not a problem.

    Same issue. Brand new computer, newly installed Zoom.  Any other solution than a fresh install?
