Minimum Window Size (Latest version of Zoom, Mac)

The supercilious recommendations from the "Technical Support and Eng. team" are beyond unhelpful. This is a serious issue. Downgrading to 5.8.4 (found via google on a website called uptodown) has fixed the issue for me and I will not be upgrading for a very long time. Best of luck Zoom, I hope your product-planning meetings last 4 times as long as they need to, followed by your engineering team constantly pushing back on your ideas for no reason.

@RN52_2 We would like you to reach out to the PM who is in charge of this feature, and bring our feedback to them.  We would appreciate that they write something to the community regarding this change, whether it was intended or unintended, and if there are plans to look into the issue.

I just want to chime in to say that the inability to choose any size is a big deal for me.  I need something between minimum and almost half the screen.   I am about to install an old version of zoom and stop installing updates until it get's fixed.  

Adding my voice to this thread. Most frustrating update to zoom in the last 2 years...

Have personally downgraded and will not upgrade under any circumstances until this is fixed.  

Completely breaks any serious workflow apart from having zoom drinks or listening to your boss drone on in a team meeting... I have a big screen, I pity anyone stuck on a laptop trying to read a doc and be on a call.  The suggestion to change screen resolution is laughable for all the reasons listed by others.  The developer that said that, needs to go and have a bit of a think about their choices.

I found a workaround in the latest Zoom client.

• Open the chat window (attached to the main window)
• Resize to the smallest size you can
• Close the chat window - now your Zoom window is really small!

Everything still works, so I don't buy why we can't be allowed to just resize a smaller width.

BREAKING NEWS:

With the new Update to Zoom 5.11.3 things seems to be improved! I can narrow the window to the same size as the work around with the chat window.

I have created a new issue related to this. The participants window takes up 1/4 of the vertical space on my 1920x1200 monitor and cannot be made any smaller. This is on Windows 10.

Its now the end of 2025, and Zoom still hasn't fixed this. The Zoom (latest version 6.6.10.69071) window still has a minimum height of 2/3 of the screen (MacOS Tahoe 26.1). This is beyond ridiculous. We are not a huge company, but when our contract ends on Dec 20, we are not renewing. We have our MS Teams licenses purchased and our migration is done.
