Meetings

With the new version of Zoom, two dialog boxes appear.  I discovered that one of them displays “Share”. When I use “Share”, my Gallery dialog box moves to my small laptop display, instead of staying on my large monitor.  How do I keep my Gallery dialog box on my large monitor?

Hello,I'm having an issue with a local Zoom recording that I cannot convert.The meeting was recorded locally and I heard both the "Recording in progress" and "Recording stopped" voice prompts. After stopping the recording, the meeting remained open for about 5 more minutes before it automatically ended because the session expired. Zoom was not closed manually, my computer did not crash, and there was no power outage.The recording folder contains:double_click_to_convert_01.zoom (327 MB) double_click_to_convert_02.zoom (1.5 MB) recording.conf zoomver.tagWhen I double-click double_click_to_convert_01.zoom, nothing happens. Zoom does not start the conversion and does not display any error message.Here is what I have already tried:Reinstalled the latest version of Zoom. Ran Zoom as Administrator. Opened the .zoom file while Zoom was already running. Tried opening the recording on a different Windows computer with Zoom installed. Verified that the recording folder contains all the original f

الموضوع: طلب ميزة جديدة: التحكم الفردي في صلاحيات الكتابة (Annotation) للطلابمرحبًا فريق زووم،بصفتي معلمًا أستخدم زووم في التعليم عن بُعد، أواجه تحديًا كبيرًا مع الطلاب الأطفال. حاليًا، ميزة الكتابة على الشاشة (Annotation) تعمل بنظام "الكل أو لا أحد". وعندما أريد السماح لطالب واحد فقط بالحل أو الكتابة، يبدأ بقية الأطفال بالشخبطة وإحداث فوضى.اقترح بشدة إضافة خاصية "التفعيل الانتقائي للكتابة"، تماماً مثل طريقة تحكمنا في الصوت (كتم/تفعيل للميكروفون) أو الكاميرا (فتح/إغلاق) لطالب معين بالاسم. سيكون من الرائع الضغط على اسم طالب محدد ومنحه صلاحية الرسم والكتابة على الشاشة المشاركة بشكل منفرد، مع حجبها عن بقية الصف تماماً.هذه الميزة ستمنح المعلمين تحكمًا كاملًا وبيئة تعليمية هادئة.شكراً لكم!Subject: Feature Request: Selective Annotation Permissions for StudentsHi Zoom Team,As an educator using Zoom for online classes, I face a major challenge with young students. Currently, the "Annotation" feature is either "Enable for All" or "Disable for All". When I want to let only ONE student write or s

So the latest Zoom update to the meetings has the private direct messages from participants to host open in seperate tabs. Previously, all messages, irrespective of public or direct would appear on one screen in a list. However when conducting classes where only questions can be asked from the teacher directly and no public nor private chat, this is extremely annoying. Especially in classes with many students, each time a new message comes up, it's required to go to that person's tab to read it. Is there a way to revert it to the old way, where all messages comes in one screen?Thanks in advance

I am writing to report an issue with the Voice Translator (AI Translator) feature.I have purchased and assigned the Live Translation add-on, and the feature has been enabled in the account settings. However, the Voice Translator icon/button does not appear in the meeting controls toolbar, nor is it available under the More menu during meetings.I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:Updated the Zoom desktop client to the latest version (7.2.1).Using the Windows desktop client (not web or mobile).Confirmed with the account admin that the Live Translation license has been correctly assigned to my user account.Verified that Voice translator is enabled under Account Settings → Meeting → In Meeting (Advanced) (and also checked personal settings).Fully quit and restarted the Zoom client, then signed in again.Despite completing all of the above, the Voice Translator option still does not appear.Could you please check the account-side configuration and help resolve this issue?

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.

Hello! I have a personal Zoom Basic account and use Zoom Workplace on Android. I need to prevent participants from taking screenshots or recording my live video calls using the SAME phone they use to attend the meeting. I have already checked the Android app and Zoom web settings, but I cannot find the "Prevent screen capture of meeting content" option. Could someone please clarify: 1. Does this feature block both screenshots and screen recordings made with the participant's own Android phone?2. Is it available with a Basic account?3. If not, which paid plan includes it?4. How can I enable it while keeping video calls working normally? My main concern is preventing recording on the same device used to attend the video call, not recording with a second phone or external camera. Thank you!

No one can copy chat text in our Zoom meetings, except for the (some?) linux users.I found another old thread about this, but the step-by-step doesn’t lead you to the destination discussed.Can anyone provide a method that works in 2026?

Environment Debian 13 i3WM, X11 Zoom Workplace 7.2.1 (5760), DEB package NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 NVIDIA driver 550.163.01 USB webcam: Microdia 0c45:6366 ProblemAfter upgrading Zoom to version 7.2.1, the camera preview becomes frozen or black whenever I select any virtual background or the blur effect. The camera works normally again as soon as I select “None”.The issue also occurs during meetings. The camera is selected in Zoom, and its activity indicator turns on. The webcam works correctly outside Zoom, including with ffplay.Using a clean Zoom configuration restored normal camera operation, but the virtual background issue persists.Virtual backgrounds worked correctly in previous Zoom versions.This appears to be a possible regression in Zoom 7.2.1 on Linux. Could you investigate the virtual background/video processing path and advise on a workaround?Thank you.

Hi, Zoom Community,I get Zoom pop-up notifications on my Windows 10 desktop for every event on my Google calendar. I only want Zoom to notify me about Zoom events. How can I turn off Zoom's notifications for the non-Zoom events??Thank you!

What settings make it easy for guests to connect?  Is there a way to block someone?

Hi everyone,I’m curious how organisations are managing attendance and participation during live Zoom meetings, particularly when accurate records are important.Zoom’s standard attendance reports show when participants join and leave, but they don’t necessarily provide a complete picture of what happens throughout a session.For example, how are you managing:Participants switching their cameras off for extended periods People stepping away while remaining connected Monitoring attendance during longer meetings, training sessions or online events Verifying that participants remain present throughout a session Maintaining reliable records for compliance, accreditation or reporting purposesAre you relying on Zoom’s built-in reports, monitoring participants manually, or using additional tools?I’m particularly interested in how organisations are addressing these challenges without creating additional administrative work for the people running the sessions.Would be great to hear what solutions

Starting a new meeting as a host, sent invitations for participants as usual, but when they try to join, few of them weren't able to connect video (automatically connected in "audio-only" mode). They can't see the host and host can't see them!! Why? Why only few people and why all of a sudden meeting invitation chose to connect them with audio only mode!?!

There needs to be a way (check boxes?) to select what camera you want to show in the camera list. It is unbelievable to me that after all these years there is still NO WAY to simple choose what cameras should show in the menu, UNINSTALLING cameras is NOT a solution. There are reason why you may need cameras (like the built-in one) but don't want to use them for Zoom. I many instructors need to be able to toggle between the camera simply and quickly, instead of toggling through multiple cameras to get to the one you want. Absolutely appalling this simple feature is not available in Zoom.

In a Zoom learning session, the person talking is also appearing on a second Dialog Box - see - https://snipboard.io/MhLxAC.jpg. Wondering why? I’ve used an older version of Zoom before, with different clubs.  This has never happened before.  Please advise.    

The entire zoom graphical user interface changed on me suddenly and Zoom Workplace now seems to be a web app that’s trying to mimic Teams in structure, but I lost a lot of the functionality I was accustomed to. Is it possible to toggle between these environments? For example, I used to use Zoom to record mini-lectures for my classes which I would then load on to Canvas. Now with the web workplace app, the Share Screen function is a nightmare because I have to select whether I want to share a web page, a powerpoint, or Word document, when I used to be able to go between these sources seamlessly. The window also seems to not be full screen. It really sucks. It’s so bad that I resorted to downloading a different app for making video recordings for class. This other app works better overall, but the marker tool isn’t as good as the one Zoom has (or had) built in to the host tools. It’s a nightmare trying to host a meeting now. Did you ruin a good product?

I wanted to start a discussion about the new Zoom Web Experience outlined here: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0084872Ever since the new interface became the default experience, many of our users have struggled to navigate the updated layout. In several cases, users did not even recognize that they were in Zoom, leading them to report the issue as a login problem rather than a UI change.From an administrative perspective, the redesign has been especially challenging for sub-admins who manage specific services such as Video Management, Rooms, or Phone. In the legacy interface, these tools were accessible through clearly defined tabs, making administration straightforward. In the new experience, many functions are nested within dropdown menus, which has made common tasks more difficult to locate and perform efficiently.While any significant UI change comes with a learning curve, the feedback we've received suggests that this goes beyond general enha

With the old Zoom UI clicking the video or audio settings opened a  new window with all the settings including the, “General” tab. This was very easy to navigate. Now if I click on Videoo settings a side panel opens which resizes my Zoom window on the screen. After i close options, I have to move and resize the window again. I find this very difficult to use. Also, the “General” option is missing. How can i revert back to the old UI where all the settings including the “General” tab could be easily accessed as a floating window? Kind regardsChris

I am trying to locate my previous meetings on the new setup of Zoom but cannot. I can see upcoming but no previous. Can anyone suggest how I can find them, thanks?

When I click on join meeting in email a message pops up that the pop up was blocked even though block pop up is off in all browsers.

In the past, the “Background” appeared as a separate Dialog Box.  Now it covers the “Chat” comments.  How do I have the “Background” appear as a separate Dialog Box?

ChatGPT says Zoom doesn't offer AI summaries with the free version of Zoom. 

Why can't I modify a meeting from the desktop app? I always have to go to the webpage to make the correct changes to an appointment. For example, the app changes the day to any other than the one I selected. I select Friday at 8pm for a Tuesday meeting and it pushes it into the following week on Monday. This has been going on for months now! I have waited in the hopes of an update to correct the problem.

When they unmute your mic, I still can't use the mic on my phone
