Unhelpful dependencies from Google and Microsoft when scheduling meetings

Recent updates link the ability to include scheduled meetings to Google and Microsoft Products. This is unacceptable for e.g. Mac users.

 

Old (well working) situation:

When scheduling a meeting, Zoom would immediately and automatically create an .ics file that a Mac then automatically detects as calendar file including all the information that you still find in the "copy invitation" button. This function is only a "text copy" and does not create calendar files.

 

Now (worsened ux) situation:

The only way to create an .ics file today is with the browser version. Even Firefox extensions do not work for OSX mail and only link into the Google and Microsoft World. Instead of complementing the old way with these additional integrations as additional option, the old functionality was removed from the app entirely while not easing the usability of the web application. It almost appears as if the remaining possibility to download .ics files from Web-Zoom would be a "forgotten" remainder.

 

Recommended workaround until this has been fixed in favor of Mac users:

Do NOT use Zoom for scheduling Meetings at all and only use Zoom for ad hoc meetings if you cannot switch to other video conferencing products. Use standard invitations in a text file or as Mac notes entry to copy-paste into calendar entries manually.

 

What everybody should reflect on:

How dare Zoom to "forget" a large user community like the Mac users? What is the more or less hidden policy behind such a move? What is the rationale to iterate this release of integration updates only with Google and Microsoft products? What have Mac users to expect in the future if something like this pure ignorance towards Apple-focused user groups can happen at all?

Audio/microphone issues

When I use my HP laptop only in Zoom, I have no issues. 

 

On Sunday mornings, for Sunday School, we have been using a camera attached via USB that also has a microphone.  This is so attendees via Zoom can see the attendees in person.

 

Now, when I use on Sunday, Zoom will not recognize the microphone.  If I go to settings the settings are frozen, i.e. cannot test microphone or see an option to switch from laptop to camera or vice versa.

 

How do I get around this?

Hello, since September I have had a consistent annoying problem that I cannot solve. Live meetings go along fine, but when I record a meeting and play back the recording, I find that the screen has frozen about 10 secs in and although audio continues to record, the rest of the on-screen interaction does not. Frustratingly I only discover this after the live event has finished. I would love to know how to fix this.

Every time I try to host or join a meeting, the controls are gone just replaced by a white box, and I cannot press any other buttons. They do not work, even if I try to close the window, the button doesn't work. I use zoom every day and it just started this morning. I even tried to redownload zoom, still did not work, on the app or the browser platform.

hi I am a simultaneous interpreter and I often host meetings myself. One of the issues that comes up regularly is when one of my colleagues is on the wrong channel, that is they are broadcasting their interpretation say on the English channel because they forgot to switch back to German. Trying to get their attention is often impossible. It would be a great improvement if the host had the possibility of switching an interpreter's channel to correct the mistake. Any likelihood of something being done? Another point is that to listen to your booth mate you have to switch to another outgoing channel before you can listen to your own booth. That needs to be corrected to and is one of the reasons why interpreters often forget to switch back to the correct channel.
