I recently retired and lost access to my workplace zoom account. I'm trying to buy an account, but Zoom keeps insisting I already have one. Help!

I have tried all my email addresses (I have three), but zoom evidently has linked all of those addresses to the workplace account. 

Is it possible to upload a custom Avatar into Zoom?  I do not wish to use the childish avatars Zoom offers.  I have a human like custom avatar which I wish to upload.  Google search says this is possible but the zoom instructions suck!  Zoom customer service is awful.  What do. you suggest.

We have started using scorecards and evaluations within the contact center. I have made it so that they need to be manually acknowledged. However, I do not see where the agent has the ability to view their score and acknowledge it on their end. Any articles out there that I missed on how to get this going?

I've tried to contact Zoom about this, but it's been a week and they aren't answering back. 

We have our schools switched to Google Meet for now due to a warning sent out by Michigan State Police Cyber Command Center regarding security concerns involving Zoom. We have not heard any updates from MSP, and we have not heard anything from Zoom. Our users would like to get back to using their Zoom accounts for their meetings, but due to the sensitive nature of their communications, we are being very cautious.

Anyone here have any updates regarding this Michigan Cyber Command Center warning about Zoom meetings? They have not released an update either. 

Email Message From Michigan State Police: 

From: Michigan Cyber Command Center (MC3)  Date: Fri, Mar 14, 2025, 11:23 AM Subject: TLP:CLEAR - MC3 Cyber Situational Awareness Message (SAM) – Major Security Concerns Involving Zoom To: Michigan Cyber Command Center (MC3) 

TLP:CLEAR MC3 Cyber Situational Awareness Message (SAM) – Major Security Concerns Involving Zoom

Overview:

In recent years, Zoom has become a go-to tool for virtual meetings and remote collaboration. However, its widespread adoption has exposed several security vulnerabilities that make it unsuitable for professional or sensitive business use. The MC3 is aware of major security flaws in the Zoom communication software which are likely being leveraged by cyber threat actors to intercept and collect information. Since 2022 Zoom has had 107 known vulnerabilities. If users are not keeping up with patches for these vulnerabilities, they are at risk of having their data stolen and/or allowing unauthorized access to a Zoom session.

Security concerns with Zoom:

Data Encryption Gaps - Zoom claims to offer encryption, but it does not implement end-to-end encryption in all aspects of the platform. While meetings are encrypted in transit, Zoom itself retains access to meeting data and may decrypt content potentially exposing sensitive information to unauthorized users. Zoombombing - In the past, Zoom has faced high-profile incidents of "Zoombombing," where uninvited individuals join meetings to disrupt conversations or share inappropriate content. Though measures have been implemented to address this, the platform's default security settings were not strong enough to prevent such disruptions. Poor Default Security Settings - Default settings, such as allowing attendees to join meetings without authentication or enabling video and audio by default, can create security risks if not manually adjusted by the host. This can expose meetings to cyber threat actors and allow unauthorized access. The MC3 assesses with high confidence cyber threat actors are targeting Zoom to collect sensitive information from unwitting victims. Zoom collects, stores, and sells a lot of user data adding to the security concerns associated with Zoom. For more information on the data collected, stored, and sold by Zoom see the following link: https://www.zoom.com/en/trust/privacy/privacy-statement/

Recommendations:

The MC3 recommends any organizations handling sensitive or confidential information, to consider alternative platforms with more robust security measures, including true end-to-end encryption, stronger authentication protocols, and more granular control over meeting access. Always review and update security settings on Zoom to mitigate risks but be mindful that no platform is immune to vulnerabilities.

Alternate means of video teleconferencing:

Google Meet

Microsoft Teams

Cisco Webex

If your organization must use Zoom be sure to update to the most recent version. By staying informed about the risks associated with Zoom, organizations can make better decisions about which tools to trust for their digital communications.

Everytime I try to log in to Zoom, Zoom fails to recognize the device even though I used it within the past 7 days. I use 2 different computers depending on whether I am at home or at a meeting in Church and use my phone to schedule. This problem started recently and I can not get a human being.  I would cancell but I have classes recorded on Zoom.

We have just licensed ZCC and do quite a bit of outbound calling. We use Windows machines and cannot get the click to call to default to calling via ZCC rather than Zoom phone.  Can anyone tell me exactly which registry item needs to be changed to handle this?  Or does anyone have another way to set the callto: default app as zoom contact center rather than zoom phone?  Without this capability, it is very cumbersome to call out - need to click + next to new outbound engagement>New Voice Call and then copy and paste/enter the number. This used to be a one click process for folks with zoom phone.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Within Zoom Contact Center, is there a way an agent can view their live hold time to monitor how long they have someone on hold? A timer is available when transferring or conferencing, but nothing when they are simply on hold to research information. Is there a setting somewhere to have this display? 

got a meeting invite with an id and a link. the link was app.uso7zoom.us but when i click it took me to a site that looked similar to the zoom launch meeting landing page. i hit join meeting but nothing happens.

the host that sent the link asks me to turn on my VPN because he is in Argentina and i Africa but it still doesn't work instead it starts download the file at the top of the image shared. but i stopped it as soon as my pc flagged it as virus. the meeting id also didn't work. 

is this a scam??
