Reactions Turned Off After Updating Zoom Client?

I used to be able to just do a "thumbs up" and then it would do a thumbs up gesture, and it would show on my screen, and also when I did two thumbs up, it would create "reactions" on the screen with fireworks. I just updated the Zoom client today and those don't work anymore. How do I turn them back on?

Dell Inspiron 16 sound not working properly in meeting

I just purchased a new Dell Inspiron 16, and I'm having sound issues with Zoom.  For a simple Zoom meeting where people are simply talking, Zoom is working just fine.  However, my wife is doing a Zoom singing class where she plays music on her iPhone and sings along.  For some reason, the other participants in the meeting don't hear the music coming from the iPhone, and her singing cuts in and out.  Other participants do the same thing and their singing and iPhone music are heard just fine.

 

The reverse situation has the same problem.  When one of the other participants is singing with their iPhone playing the music, my wife can't hear the music and the singing cuts in and out.  Again, other participants have no trouble hearing both.

 

On our old Dell Inspiron, my wife had no problem having her voice and iPhone music heard together.  Same for the reverse--she could hear both the singing and accompaniment. 

 

All other sound functions on the new laptop are working fine.  We're wondering if this is a Zoom setting issue or a Dell hardware or software issue.

 

Thank you for your help with this.

 

John

Hi, everytime I create a meeting, I can screenshare until someone joins. The moment anyone joins, I get a pop up that says I am restricted from screen sharing. So i am the owner of the meeting but then I lose the ability to screen share even though others who join my meeting can screen share. It's frustrating. I've looked at the settings but if anyone has help for me, thanks.

I am on MacOS Sonoma. Bluetooth headphones are connected to my computer, which I double confirmed by playing Spotify & Youtube which goes to my headphones. However, when I open Zoom, no sound comes out and no one can hear me via my Bluetooth headphones, AND sound from Spotify / Youtube stops playing to my headphones. I have confirmed my computer audio is set to my headphones and my zoom audio is set to my headphones. This issue occurs with both Soundcore bluetooth headphones and AirPods. I have had Zoom installed without audio issues for several years - this started happening after I updated the software late last week (April 11/12).

This just started happening today. I have used zoom on my Chromebook without problems for a couple of years. Suddenly my outgoing video is black on meetings I host and meetings I join. Like others, I've checked settings in Zoom and Chromebook, restarted etc. Interesting that this appears to be a recent issue for everyone. Has Zoom provided any answers anywhere?

Over the past 2 weeks we have had several instances (on multiple accounts) where participants say they are in the waiting room and getting the message waiting for host to start meeting yet the meeting has started and the participants are not visible to the host (even with participant and waiting room list expanded). This has been highly problematic! Thank you for any solutions you may have.

3rd Party Caption Recording

When recording a meeting and using a 3rd party captioner, do the 3rd party captions get recorded with the meeting to be shared with the recording?  Also will the 3rd party captions be used to create the transcript of the meeting for download?
