Exit app when I close the window

[crashnorun]

It is absolutely frustrating every time I close a zoom meeting the application remains open and minimizes itself to the notifications area. Who thought this was a good idea? I would like to close the application and be done with it. This becomes a multi-step process to close out of zoom after every meeting that is a waste of my time. It's even more infuriating that there is no way to turn this option off. I've searched the forum for similar posts and the zoom team marked it as solved. The issue is NOT solved hence why I am resurfacing this issue. It's a complete disregard to the end user and such a waste of resources. 

Please develop a real solution for this problem before closing out this topic.

Hello,

It would be equally frustrating for the hundreds oof thousands of users and teams  who use Zoom for team chat (IM), Phone services and many other Zoom real time services if the app quit the way that you describe.

 It's very easy to shut down the Zoom app from the Zoom menu. I do it all the time.

A simple check box in the settings menu to enable and disable this could make everybody happy! User's time that don't use the phone and IM feature is equally important.

One option is to right click on the zoom icon in the notification area and select "Exit" to completely close the application after each meeting. You can also try modifying the settings within the Zoom application. Open the zoom settings, go to the General tab, and uncheck the option that says "Keep zoom running in the background when the application is closed" . This might prevent the application from minimizing to the notifications area after closing a meeting.

Hi MordechaiLeif,

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately I do not see the option to "Keep zoom running in the background when the application is closed". I've updated my zoom client and double checked the general settings. I would love to have that option to uncheck that feature.

I found a fix to this problem.   Control Panel -> Zoom -> Uninstall.  👍
