Zoom keeps logging me out

Every so often - cant seem to find a specific timeframe - the Zoom Windows 10 desktop signs me out, this has happened twice in the middle of a meeting too, it is quite frustrating, anyone else experiencing this?

 

I do have Zoom installed on a second PC and my phone, but when this occurs, the PC is switched off and the phone (Android) doesnt have Zoom active.

    You know it really sucks, I have to share my screen on a dev linux box without audio and then I use my work laptop for audio. Now I am getting signed out. So I have had to resort to using TEAMS. I was making a strong case (I am a solutions architect) on why Teams sucks and we should use Zoom. Now my own personal paid premium zoom account is worthless to me. GUYS YOU ARE KILLING ME. THERE ARE SMARTER WAYS TO PREVENT ACCOUNT SHARING. I NEED YOU TO FIX THIS OR YOU CAN KISS MY BUSINESS GOOD BYE. YOU ARE LITERALLY PLAYING INTO MICROSOFTS HANDS BY BEING INCONVENIENT AF.

    I had the same issue as everyone is describing. I followed directions for logging out of all devices. Go to your profile, scroll all the way down, click on "Log out of all devices." https://www.trishtech.com/2020/10/how-to-logout-of-zoom-account-from-all-devices-instantly/

    I have the same issue in 2022. No other devices have an active Zoom session. This just happed to me within 30 minutes while on an Active Zoom meeting.

    I have a similar issue and it drives me crazy. I'm only using zoom daily on one device - my iMac. Maybe once or twice per month on my Samsung Android phone. I have meetings all day on Zoom and now I have to always log in first thing in the morning and at least another time in the day. This only started happening to me around November 2021 or so. My team members are reporting similar issues. Super frustrating. Just keep me logged in for a couple of weeks on my iMac please. Any fixes for this issue?

    Experiencing this same issue in 2022. Singular windows machine using licensed zoom account and being logged out every couple hours even if a meeting is going. Even if hosting the meeting will shift hosts to another participant and logs out.  Working with clients is difficult this way. Is it update related, should I revert to an older version of zoom?

    This is very irritating and disruptive I get logged out of meetings I'm in while in a meeting constantly. The only thing I can think of is that my closed laptop is somehow active and auto-logging in. Going to the website and "logging out of all devices" fixes this temporarily sometimes, but not always. Zoom really should have some way to fix this.

    Simultaneous logins on only a computer & tablet/phone is antiquated (if I understand the policy correctly).  I have a desktop and laptop than I need to use on an alternating fashion (paid account) and get booted out when I log in when the other one is logged in (NOT in a meeting).  Gonna try the logout from all devices simultaneously to see if it fixes the problem but if this is by design, it is definitely not user friendly in these days of having complex passwords.

    Same issue - simple FIX is that. Don't "Automatically" login on any device without confirmation. Once confirmed , keep  the user logged in on device where he/she logs in last. Prompt to confirm again when device switches. 

    This is problem esp if you are logged into a Mac, it keep logging you out on other devices.

    This happens to me too.  Even more annoyingly, it happens regularly whilst I'm actually in a Zoom meeting.  

     

    Yesterday I was in a client meeting, using a background and unbeknown to me, when Zoom logged me out, it also removed my background, revealing my actual room that I had not intended to show.  This is extremely embarrassing and annoying to me - not a mention of this being a possibility 🙎

    I have this same issue (July 2022). It drives me insane. I changed my password and logged out of all other devices, yet, it still keeps logging me out.
