About a month or so ago Zoom updated something and now I can't hear my participants before or after meetings I used to be able to talk with them before class, then I'd mute them during class, and we could chat again afterwards. What do I need to change? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @mytrainerjill, thank you for posting for the first time, and welcome to the Zoom Community!
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with hearing your participants before and after Zoom meetings. It's possible that a recent Zoom update might have changed some settings. Let's troubleshoot the problem and get you back on track. Here are some steps you can try:
If the issue persists after trying these steps, it's possible that the problem may lie with your specific Zoom settings or a deeper technical issue. If this is the case, let me know!

I cant hear the participants while others can hear me. Also, I tried to test the speakers on Zoom and I cant hear the test ringtone. I dont know what is happening, since my speakers do work. Do you think you can help me?

i have the same problem since a few months. i have tried all the above mentioned suggestions but to no avail. Did any of the other Zoom users with this problem solve this problem? i am still looking for a solution

Я не слышу собеседника. Меня слышно, а я других не слышу уже где то неделю. Настройки не меняла.

I have the same issue and tried everything you have suggested. Could you please have a look so I can use Zoom? If not, I will have to cancel my subscription and go to an other platform unfortunately.
Kind regards,
Sophie

if you Mute participants in the meeting as the host or cohost then you can only request that they unmute. This is by default I believe. As far as Text Chat there is a setting to enable continuous chat before during and after a meeting.

I have same issue. People can hear me but I can't hear anyone. Not a speaker issue.

i have the same problem for monts now. i have tried all the suggestions from the Zoom moderator but without succes. it's very annoying. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I can’t even tell you what helped. Run the tests it tells you to before you start. (Test microphone & speakers?) I think I toggled something in audio (maybe advanced settings?) that finally worked.

This was the solution for me: Select: Windows/Settings/System/Sound/Advanced/Volume Mixer/Apps - find Zoom in Apps and make sure it is not muted. We found it was crossed out and were able to unmute it and all works now. Good luck (the problem was unusual!)
