I just did a 90 minute meeting which I recorded and as I waited for the file to finish completion afterwards your company, Zoom, decided to completely crash on me and all information has been lost. I'm honestly quite f'ing irate. I'm on a laptop which is pretty new, so there was no reason for this to occur

I'm looking for an enhancement that would allow better customization of meeting templates. For example, the ability to set different waiting room messages that pertain to the specific meeting template. Also, to be able to set settings for each template, for example one template that allows recording, while another template can be set where the recording feature is not allowed.

I am teaching using  Zoom and want to Spotlight either my laptop camera or my second screen where the slides are being displayed. The students join without turning on their camera. But I can't get the Spotlight option to show. I searched through settings but nothing provides a Spotlight option. How can I control what my students see? I don't want my slides to appear as just another attendee, I want the slides full screen. And to occasionally display my image on my laptop camera.

When I share a powerpoint in presenter view, I can change whether I use content, or powerpoint showing over shoulder, etc. using the layout icon.  But one of my colleagues doesnt see the layout icon when presenting. Why is this? Is there a preference she needs to change or what?

I cannot connect to a meeting through a link sent to my email. It just keeps telling me my zoom client is outdated (which it isn't, I have the latest version). Then is starts to download and never finishes. If I copy and paste the meeting to a browser or into zoom, I get invalid meeting ID. This happens on my computer and my iphone. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and done a zoom clean among other things. My old zoom and microsoft acct were attached to an account that I no longer use and were associated with google. My current account is associated to microsoft , outlook.

Musicians, in the last 6 months I cannot get my piano guitar or singing to come through my headsets. I even bought a new headset thinking it would help, nothing. I can get my instruments through my separate webcam but then it picks up all noises, I want to use the headset mic for instruments. I have tried it all, what do I do?

Is there a way to automatically  hide video panel when sharing screen, other than having to do it manually. I have setting to gallery view for participants, when I share screen I don't want the panel showing I have to go and click on More than Hide Video Panel, which is distracting when you are teaching or minimise the panel. Any suggestions?

I have been using zoom for guitar classes for 3 years. I had the guitar and microphone plugged into an guitar processor which also acts as an audio interface. This was connected to my mac book pro M1 via USB. In zoom the audio interface was selected as mic and speaker. This worked flawlessly for those 3 years. Last week when the classes returned after the summer break i plugged in as usual and zoom is now suppressing the sound of the guitar and voice. Even when i just use the mac microphone and speaker when i test mic i can hear my voice but play the guitar and i will be able to hear the first couple of notes and then its suppressed. The people on the on other end of the line said they couldnt make out what i was saying and the guitar sounded weird. I am fully updated on Mac OS and the zoom app. Nothing has changed. I tried another audio interface and got the same problem. The mac and audio interface work flawlessly in other music apps. Im pulling my hair out at this stage.
