Last couple of days my clients have been complaining about loud static from my microphone during zoom meetings.  This is intermittent, session starts ok, then a few minutes into it, they complain that things are getting noisy, then it becomes intolerable.  This is from a Logitech wired USB headset.  Thought the microphone was bad so ordered a new headset, but now clients have been telling me the old Logitech headset I temporarily swapped in to replace it, a different model altogether, is also noisy in the same way.  I can't hear the distortion, only they can.

If I switch to the laptop microphone it's ok, so that's what I've been doing.   Rebooting the laptop doesn't fix this.

This has never happened before, have been using Zoom for years, many hours a week on zoom as I have an online therapy practice.  laptop is HP Windows 11, with logitech headsets all that time never giving me a single problem ever.  My whole business is on Zoom, so I need to solve this problem.  Can use laptop microphone temporarily but prefer the superior sound quality of the logitech headsets.

Anybody have any ideas?

Hi All,

First off, I don't find a post "Location" that makes sense for this post out of the choices available.  I think there's an assumption that everyone is familiar with the myriad services Zoom provides, and I just use Zoom for meetings, thus the location choice, "Meetings".  That's the most general choice, as the others are so specific yet unrelated to my post.  I don't see any location regarding hardware issues or webcam issues.  If someone can tell me where to better post this, I'd appreciate it.

Now, the reason I'm posting.  A few weeks ago and for months before that, I was able to successfully connect my camcorder to my MacBook Air via an HDMI cable from the camera into a small, cheap HDMI-to-USB adaptor, which was then plugged into the USB port on the MacBook.  I could choose "USB Video" or something like that as the camera on Zoom, and the video from the camcorder became my webcam for Zoom calls.

However, since installing the latest Zoom updates, I can no longer get video signal in the above set up to work on Zoom.  All I see is color bars when I choose "USB video" or "USB Camera" as Camera on Zoom Video Settings.  Frustrating.

Was this intentional on Zoom's part to disable USB connectivity with HDMI camcorders?  If not, will this be fixed?  If not, what is required with the new update to use a camcorder as a USB connected webcam, please?

Many thanks,

Tim

Sometimes it takes very long time before my Zoom Cloud Recordings show up in Panopto. In one case it took six days, and in the mean time I couldn't find out if my recording was lost or what was happening. How can I see what is going on when I am waiting for my recording?

My audio cuts out every 60 secs for 3-5 seconds in every zoom I'm in. I can't hear the person talking for about 5 seconds. I've updated to the most recent version of zoom. I'm on a macbook and it happens both with computer speakers and with headphones. Anyone having this issue or have any idea how to fix?

I am an interpreter. When I am assigned as an interpreter and try to switch between the two channels, the channel button runs away from me so that I cannot change channels right away. This is a serious problem for my occupation and I know another interpreter who also have this problem. This started to happen after the update to be able to move the channels. Today it took me about 5 seconds to change from one channel to another.... Please help.

Hello,

Is it possible to develop sign language translation capabilities (voice->sign language sign language->text)  and make more people to be able to participate in video meetings with people who doesn't know sign language using this artificial intelligence in future versions?

 What do you think?

Thank you

Best regards,

Alex
