During a meeting, zoom (web browser) keeps cutting the audio and prompting that it does not have access to the microphone. 

I tune in to meeting on various computers (PCs) that do not have microphones. It only makes sense that zoom does not have access to the microphone, but it is absolutely infuriating that every few seconds the audio gets cut to prompt that the browser does not have access to the microphone.

I tried to check in the zoom settings, and the microphone selection is defaulted to "Same as system", and there is no option to disable the microphone.

How does one disable the prompt?

Thank you.

I am trying to record my meetings (as a host). However, zoom does not even display the button on my screen to do it. I have tried everything, as well as making sure that recording is enable, but still don't have anything showing up. 

I'm doing with my chrome computer and have the free version 

I use Zoom to record lectures. It it inconvenient that the "Record," "Pause," "Stop Recording" buttons are not in the Control bar, but are instead in the drop-down menu. I often need to pause my recording quickly because, for example, my dog starts barking. It cannot be done quickly when they are in the drop-down menu rather than as obvious easily-accessible icons on the control bar. 
Is there a way users can determine what is on the control bar rather than only the default options? 

Thank you.

The average age of our user community is well over 65. Almost none are technical. Almost all are change adverse. Many members still have trouble making Zoom work after 3 years of using it. It is VERY IMPORTANT that we schedule client upgrades after 4/23.

How can I do this? 

Is there a way to configure our meetings so that Zoom Workplace looks similar to the current UI?  Any way to control what buttons are shown to the users (the array of buttons at the bottom of the current UI confuses some users).  

Thanks,

Steve
