I have a corporate licence - I'm an ordinary user.  I need to log into meetings from my corporate device so I can share screens and show documents but I would also like to be able to log in simultaneously from my tablet so I can draw diagrams with the pen because the corporate laptop has no touchscreen/pen.  This is simple to do in Google Chat but some meetings are in Zoom and, in Zoom, when I try to log into my tablet I am logged out from my laptop.  Is there a way to do this?

Hello everyone,

I have a Meeting Pro account that I used to log in with a Gmail address. Wanting to change my login method, I accidentally removed the permission to log in with a Google Gmail account from my profile. Now I can no longer log in and I can't contact technical support without login. How can I contact technical support without being logged in ?

Hi - We are currently in a Zoom meeting, via our YeaLink device, that was set up and administered by someone else.  When we carried out a test the camera came on and we could hear the others. When we joined the meeting, the camera was on and we could hear everyone else.  Suddenly the camera went off and we could not turn it back on. We can still hear everyone.  Can anyone advise me what to do to turn the camera back on without leaving the meeting?

 

Thanks

Can't find second recording after having stopped original meeting recording

I recorded my zoom podcast and all went well, including starting/stopping recording to the Zoom Cloud.

 

However, after the podcast, I wanted to do an intro to the podcast after my guest had left. He left the room. I then pressed Record to the Cloud and did an additional :60 recording (without having left the original meeting). I then left the Zoom room. A bit later, i got the email saying my meeting recording was available. 

 

All was good with the original but I can't find any evidence of the second recording, either in local or Cloud files. Does Zoom not actually save added recordings?

 

I'd wonder if this is a specific use case anomaly, but I can't imagine I"m the only one to want to try to record something after stopping the original.

 

Thanks!

Every time I end a meeting I get an email that says, "Meeting assets for Personal Meeting Room are ready!"   It then links to the whiteboard that I had shared screen to during the meeting.  

It seems there is no way to toggle these email notifications off.  Has anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it? 

 

 

(I'm on a Mac, using the Zoom application version 6.5.9.  I've already looked through all the "email notification" settings after logging into my account on a browser.)

what's the best way you've found to schedule a meeting and send invitations? Also, to update the invitation?

 

When I create a meeting on the website it doesn't seem to send out the invitations.  Meetings are being missed.  It used to work "okay", but not anymore.

 

What's your process?  Also, how do you verify the meeting was received or accepted?  

 

I apologize if this has been addressed before.

I am trying to set up meetings and the pop-up calendar weeks start on Sundays. My brain is having trouble translating it and I am concerned about sending mistaken dates to guests. Anyone know if there is a option under settings for this? I can't find it in the usual places.

 

I searched the web/reddit/quora and can't find an answer to this one.

"Copy Invite Link" Causes Complete System Freeze on Linux

SummaryClicking the "Copy Invite Link" button in a Zoom meeting causes a complete system freeze on Linux (Wayland/Sway), requiring a hard power-off. The issue is 100% reproducible.EnvironmentZoom Version: 6.6.11 (6052)OS: Manjaro Linux (rolling)Kerne... Show more

Summary

Clicking the "Copy Invite Link" button in a Zoom meeting causes a complete system freeze on Linux (Wayland/Sway), requiring a hard power-off. The issue is 100% reproducible.

Environment

  • Zoom Version: 6.6.11 (6052)
  • OS: Manjaro Linux (rolling)
  • Kernel: 6.6.107-1-MANJARO
  • CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core i7-1355U
  • Desktop: Sway 1.11 (Wayland compositor)
  • Display Server: Wayland (also tested with XWayland - same result)
  • GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics (Raptor Lake-P), Mesa 25.2.3-arch1.2
  • Audio: PipeWire 1.4.8 + WirePlumber 0.5.11
  • Memory: 16GB

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch Zoom on Linux with Sway/Wayland
  2. Create a new meeting or join an existing one
  3. Click "Copy Invite Link" (or any clipboard button)
  4. Result: Entire system freezes immediately - mouse, keyboard, everything unresponsive
  5. Only recovery is holding power button for hard shutdown

Expected Behavior

Invite link should be copied to clipboard without affecting system stability.

Actual Behavior

Complete system freeze requiring hard power-off.

Diagnostic Information

Kernel Logs (from journalctl -b -1 after reboot)

Note: These logs are from crash #2 (XWayland mode). Crash #1 (native Wayland) showed identical RT throttling pattern but logs were overwritten by subsequent reboot.

Timeline:

  • 10:56:11 - RT throttling activated (system freezes)
  • 10:58:10 - Zoom segfaults (triggered by forced power-off, system was unrecoverable)

Zoom Logs (zoom_stdout_stderr.log)

OpenGL/Qt errors before crash:

Fatal D-Bus error:

Workarounds Attempted (All Failed)

Force XWaylandQT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb zoomStill freezes
Disable GPU sandboxzoom --disable-gpu-sandboxStill freezes

 

Analysis

The crash sequence appears to be:

  1. Clipboard operation triggers something in Zoom's Qt/CEF code
  2. X11 connection breaks - "Did the X11 server die?" (even under Wayland/XWayland)
  3. QML cascade failure - 20+ TypeErrors as UI objects become null
  4. RT throttling activates - A real-time priority thread deadlocks the scheduler
  5. System freezes - Compositor becomes unresponsive
  6. D-Bus disconnects - FATAL error, process aborts
  7. Zoom segfaults - Only after forced power-off initiated

The root cause appears to be in Zoom's clipboard handling code, which somehow triggers a cascade that takes down the X11 connection and starves the RT scheduler.

Related Issues

  • sway#8810 - "sway freezes when I start zoom too soon" - similar Qt5 segfault pattern
  • Zoom Community: Multiple reports of "zoom freezes when stopping screen sharing on Linux"

Additional Context

  • This same system had similar clipboard freeze issues in August 2025 with Zoom 6.5.7
  • Previous workarounds (XWayland mode) worked then, but no longer work with 6.6.11
  • A single application crash should not freeze the entire system, but Zoom manages to do this consistently
  • The gap between RT throttling and segfault reflects time spent attempting recovery before forced power-off

Reproducibility

This issue is 100% reproducible on my system. I triggered it twice today (2025-12-17):

  1. First crash: Running Zoom normally (native Wayland) → clicked "Copy Invite Link" → system freeze
  2. Second crash: Running with `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb zoom` (forced XWayland) → clicked "Copy Invite Link" → system freeze again

Both crashes required hard power-off. The XWayland workaround does not help.

If you need additional logs, different debug output, or specific diagnostics, please let me know and I can reproduce with whatever logging you need.
