I've been using ZOOM (on my MAC) since 2020 as do mediators all over the world... HOWEVER, we do not have access to one very important feature that seems like it would be simple for Zoom to offer: a knock or announce feature that we could use before entering the private caucus rooms of our clients and their attorneys. I go back and forth among rooms all day long and I would like a simple button to push, something that audibly sounds, similar to a knock or door bell that rings before I put myself into my client's room. Sending a message via chat does not work because the participants are not always looking at their screens. How hard could it be for ZOOM to incorporate this feature? 

Current Version: 6.5.9 on Macbook

I'm in a large training (400 participants globally) and the topic is deep and sensitive.

I love the capacity to share emoji's and the emoji animations, but I would also love the capacity to silence these and chat notifications easily so that people can express without it grabbing my attention when I'm deep in a process. Thank you!!

Using Zoom workplace. Have no problems with meetings with my 2 sons who are also using zoom workplace.

When the Mayo clinic tries to connect with me, I get an indication that my camera is not working. The video icon is red as though the camera is off and I can't turn it on. Get a little popup saying my camera is not working.

They can't see me, I can see them, and we can both hear each other.

All of the tests, even on the Mayo site result in perfect performance-audio, visual, etc.,

They do these video sessions with plenty of patients with no problems, so I'm guessing its a setting problem.

I have uninstalled and re-installed Zoom changed usb ports. Camera is fine except for this.

Any ideas?

Thanks

New to zoom. Visited knowledge base already. I (finally, sucessfully) uploaded a csv file to personal contacts. I successfully scheduled a meeting. I want to invite ALL the emails (contacts) to the meeting from this list of personal contacts. I don't see an option to do this. It looks as if emails need to be added individually! HELP! Thank you 

I love the ability to save a transcription of my Zoom meetings, however I don't need a timestamp every 12 seconds.  I rather have no timestamp at all, or one at the beginning and end of the meeting.  Is there a way to deselect the timestamp on live transcription before I save it? At the moment, I am editing them out of the final document which is a fair bit of editing on an hour long meeting. thanks for your help!

I started using the auto call feature has been a great addition and I have been using it for a month or so. For some reason though it seems to have got a bit bugged out as of this week. It has started calling me repeatedly after a meeting has started. Sometimes it is 15 minutes, but it has also been up to an hour later. This happens for both meeting auto calls that I decline (because for example I was optional and now don't have time to attend), but also for meetings I have been in that ended early. It happens for both meetings I host, and also ones in which I am invited. Sometimes I get multiple calls and others I do not. The calls do not happen when I am actively in the call (but will call about other meetings when I am in a call), or once the call has past it's scheduled end time. I updated this morning to 6.5.12 for Windows but this issue still occurred. Any one else having this issue, or have any recommendations on fixes?

Bought a new laptop recently, and everything is great except in the video mode, I have a permanent blue screen virtual background that I can't get rid of. I have an older MacBook Air upstairs that has no problem with Virtual Backgrounds .... but the newer one that I am using as a desktop replacement has this quirk. Haven't quite figure out why this is happening ... and how to get to a normal (real) background. There have been no error codes so far, and I am using the most current version of Zoom Workplace as of today September 6, 2025.Would appreciate advice as how to remedy this situation.

Thanks!

I suggest adding a new optional meeting setting for hosts: “Allow participants to unmute only when their hand is raised.”

Purpose:
In long meetings, participants often unmute accidentally (by shortcut or misclick), which interrupts the speaker with background noise. With this setting enabled, participants would only be able to unmute after clicking “Raise Hand.”

Benefits:

• Reduces accidental microphone activations.

• Keeps focus on the speaker during large or long sessions.

• Gives hosts better control over meeting flow.
