Scheduling meetings to the wrong Outlook email/calendar

I am having a problem where Zoom is scheduling meetings to the wrong email/calendar account in my Outlook.  I want them to go to my default business account.  I have Outlook as my email and calendar program.  Within Outlook I have several business and personal email accounts.  I recently upgraded to a new machine, and I suspect this is where my issue may have started. When I schedule a meeting and save, it pops up a new Outlook calendar event to add email addresses to meeting attendees.  However the invite is being sent from one of my personal email addresses (outlook.com), and when I click on the pull-down to choose a different email account, neither of my business Microsoft exchange accounts are available to choose, even though one is my default Outlook account...  Its annoying as acceptance emails are going to my personal email, not business.  And I have to drag the calendar event from my personal calendar to my business calendar.  How do I fix this?

Resolved! Roles for a Zoom One Pro Account

Hi Zoom Community! With only two employees, and only hosting one or two meetings a month, I have a Zoom One Pro plan.  I'm listed as the 'owner' with my director as 'admin'.  It appears that the Admin role limits meetings to 40 minutes (or at least this is our experience).  Is this accurate?  Is there a setting I'm not seeing in order to change this?  Any guidance would be helpful.  Thank you in advance 🙂

Alternative Hosts Unable to start recording

Zoom claims that if I add a person as an alternative host, that they have the same access to the meeting that I do, which should include starting a cloud recording. I have given my teammembers access to schedule for me, because the generic text says that is required. 

 

My goal is to create a recurring meeting with mulitiple team members where they can join at anytime, without me present, and record portions of the meeting.  In Other Words, I do not want to assign a Co-host, as that would require me to attend every meeting just to join, assing a co-host and leave. 

 

I want to add my teammembers as Alternative hosts, so that at any time, whoever is in the meeting room can start a Cloud Recording while they are there.   

 

The problem is that ZOOM does not seem to behave consistently.  Please see my list of circumstances:

 

I have created multipe meetings and each seems to operate differently:

1. The first meeting, I created, and then, I added a team member as an alternative host. When she used the meeting room, it told her she needed the Hosts Permission to record.   1-Answer - Turns out the teammember had been logging into her personal zoom account and when she used our secure login portal, it allowed her to record. She doesn't seem to have had any issue since. 

2. The same meeting room, but a new member was added as an alternative host, but Zoom would not let her record either. said she needed host permission. If I joined the meeting, it defaulted to me as host, and asked to assign a co-host, but she should have been able to join alone and record.  2 - A  I Created an entirely NEW Meeting Room and added her as Alternative Host. She has been able to record  

3. The Same Meeting Room.  Two other members had been added to the Alternative Host List, but at this point I assumed that Alternative Hosts status is not granted unless the meeting is initially SCHEDULED with them as the Alt-Host.  So, I created a 3rd Meeting Room and added these additional two team members.  3-A.  We just did a training tonight and they had NO trouble joining the meeting with the link. They each joined separately and each were able to start a cloud recording on their own. 

2-2 - This evening I got several notifications from the team member in the second situation who is now saying that Zoom will no longer allow her to record, using the same meeting room link, without the hosts permission.  I have NOT edited anything about that meeting room since her sucessful recording last week, but now it won't let her record. 

 

Being able to start a Cloud Recording is a vital requirement for the work we are about to start and I am unable to find anything on the zoom website or elsewhere that can explain why I my team members are unable to start a Cloud Recording even though they are listed sucessfully as Alternative Hosts. 

 

I have asked for help with IT but all they did was copy and Paste Zooms own instructions about how Alternative Hosting Should work, but it is NOT working. Any suggestions  will be appreciated and tried at least once. 

Thank you.

My internal camera used to work fine on Zoom, but it has suddenly stopped working. Here are the things I have already tried:

  • Gone into Zoom camera settings - no image shows up, just a grey screen. 
  • Gone into my computer's settings > camera permissions - camera is enabled everywhere and Zoom is not even listed
  • I have turned my computer off and on again many times...
  • I have uninstalled Zoom and reinstalled the latest version
  • No apps are running in the background

My camera works everywhere else.

I have a Windows 10 computer (MSi brand) and am currently using version 5.14.6 (15434) of Zoom. I also have the same issue when I connect to calls through the web for some reason... They both just stopped working all at once. But works fine on my phone.

 

Please can someone help?

SIP Link

Does someone know how to create or add a SIP link for a scheduled meeting?  I have never seen this option or done it and I am being asked to provide that.

I'm using a Mac with Ventura 13.4.1. While sharing my screen (portion of the screen) even though the Zoom menus that appear inside the "green box" are not visible to others in the meeting, my pointer IS while I select from those menus. My coworkers don't seem to have the same problem--they are not using Macs. If anyone knows where I can find the settings to change this, I would greatly appreciate your help!

Buenas tardes, Tengo un problema con Zoom, ya que no me reconoce el video ni micrófono, esto me pasa en la aplicación de escritorio y en la version web. Ya actualice controladores, desinstale y volví a instalar controladores, actualice la version de zoom y de mi navegador Chrome, de igual manera cheque las configuraciones de zoom y de mi equipo que estuvieran permitiendo el uso del video y micrófono. Como dato en otras aplicaciones, no tengo problema.

My audio keeps dropping out in the middle of meetings. I quite often have two meetings back to back, the first one this evening was fine, then the audio cuts out during the second then this message appears, "low system audio may affect your audio quality. Try closing down some applications to improve performance" I don't have any other  apps running on my laptop, I've closed everything down, I even make sure the cloud isn't backing up in the background. So what could it be???? It's becoming very annoying as I rely on this for my business. Could it be something to do with the Zoom apps?

I would appreciate someone getting back to me. I pay a monthly subscription to Zoom but am getting fed up with the glitches, should I be looking for another platform. I look forward to hearing from Zoom or someone that has a solution. Many thanks.

Hi there,

 

We have Zoom Pro and can only have 100 per meeting. We have a seminar scheduled and we asked for people to register. We are now at 101. What if everyone ends up attending the meeting, will the last person to join the meeting be unable to attend? What will happen on their end? What are my options before the meeting to make sure we can accommodate everyone who ends up registering for the meeting?

 

Thanks for the help.
