A couple of years ago I discovered the option to auto close breakout rooms. Since the first time I used this option, all my breakout rooms in all my meetings are automatically set to auto close after 15 minutes. This is true even for new meetings. It also happens in recurring meetings even if I turned off auto close during a previous meeting time. How can I get this option to be off by default? It is causing all kinds of problems since I have to remember to turn it off every time I start breakout rooms and I don't always remember.

Hey everyone,

I'm seeking some assistance with a frustrating issue I've been experiencing lately. Whenever I attend online classes or meetings via Zoom on my 8GB RAM laptop, I encounter significant problems with video calling quality. The video often appears pixelated, freezes intermittently, and sometimes even disconnects altogether, disrupting my learning experience.

I've tried troubleshooting the problem on my own by checking my internet connection, updating Zoom to the latest version, and adjusting various settings within the application. However, none of these efforts seem to have made a noticeable improvement.

Given that my laptop meets the minimum system requirements for Zoom and has 8GB of RAM, I'm puzzled as to why I'm encountering such poor performance during video calls. Could there be other factors contributing to this issue that I'm overlooking? Is there something specific I should be checking or adjusting to optimize the video calling experience on my laptop?

I've seen some suggestions online about optimizing video calling performance by closing background applications, adjusting video settings within Zoom, and ensuring that my webcam drivers are up to date. However, I'm curious to hear from others who may have encountered similar issues and found effective solutions.

If anyone has experienced poor video calling quality on their 8GB RAM laptop during Zoom meetings or other video conferencing platforms, I'd greatly appreciate any insights or advice you can offer. Whether it's specific settings tweaks, hardware upgrades, or alternative solutions you've discovered, I'm open to trying anything that might help alleviate this frustrating problem.

Thank you in advance for your assistance, and I look forward to hearing from the community!

Best regards,

Hello everyone.  On several Zoom meetings that I have attended, I have noticed that they have customized the "Waiting for host to start meeting" screen.  This is NOT the same as doing custom waiting room messages.  This is the screen you see when you are waiting to be admitted to the meeting.  The customization is basic information about the meeting, etc.  Does anyone know how to do this?  One group that know is in need as they want to alert people to the time change between the US and Europe.
