I use an Insta360 Link 2C camera, and whenever I join a Zoom meeting, my video appears briefly (about 1 second) before the image disappears, even though the camera light indicates it's still active. I’ve updated to the latest camera driver and Zoom version, and I've tried various troubleshooting steps, including checking camera privacy settings, reinstalling Zoom, and switching USB ports. The camera works perfectly in other applications, so this seems specific to Zoom. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, as this issue is very frustrating.

Set Default values when creating a meeting

Every time I create a meeting I have to change the same values. Phone area UK, video on, audio on, continuous chat off. 

How do I set these to be the defaults so that when I create a meeting, I just have to enter the minimal information. 

I can use a template, but that's not what I want. I want to set the default values so they apply to every meeting. I have a plug-in for my email client. It'll create the meeting, but then I have to go back and edit the parameters.

How do I change the defaults?

Thanks

They consume an insane amount of RAM, almost 400 MiB for processes that don't do anything or they should be disabled.

 

I'm sure this can be a bug. I reported it also. Does anyone know if there is any way to fully disable them?

Blank pages

When I click on Meetings and on Reports, all I'm getting is a blank page. I can access some Meetings functionality through the Zoom app itself but these pages have simply stopped loading when I'm logged on through a browser.

Adjusting the speaker view size during screen sharing

Hi everyone,

 

As a moderator (or host) in several meetings, I assist presenters during their meetings. Most of them use their personal computers and use Zoom only because they have to. Personal documents can be visible and alerts can pop up anytime. For this reason, I always advise sharing only one window at a time, not the complete screen's content, which means they can't quickly switch to another app if needed. In PowerPoint, that means they can't easily switch from one presentation to another.

 

I occasionally receive requests from speakers (co-hosts) to adjust how they appear on screen to viewers. However, I haven’t been able to find a definitive solution to this issue. Speakers are often deeply focused on their presentation, and many don’t have the time, knowledge, or patience to navigate Zoom’s many and ever-changing settings.

 

Most speakers use dual-screen setups, with their secondary screen having much higher resolution than their webcam. This results in their video feed appearing very small compared to the presentation, and some of them prefer a setup where their video is dynamically resized to be more prominent, similar to how it might appear on a TV screen. This problem is even more noticeable in the recording, where the speaker's video is so small it’s nearly impossible to see, even in full screen.

 

Is there a way for the host to quickly adjust the size of a speaker’s video feed for other participants?

 

Another common request is to have the participants appear on the secondary screen (the higher-resolution one) and the presentation on the main screen (the lower-resolution one), to avoid the awkward “side-gaze” effect. I can't possibly know where they put their secondary screen. Some of them have it on the right, some reversed them in their OS (logical left is physical right…), some have it above the laptop. I just can't know.

 

Is there a quick way to switch Zoom windows between monitors? A single-click solution would greatly help presenters in maintaining eye contact no matter if presenting or answering a question.

 

Lastly, when using PowerPoint's presentation mode, speakers often lose sight of the participants entirely, which many find uncomfortable because they miss out on visual feedback from the audience. Additionally, many dislike how Zoom controls overlap the presentation slides.

 

It seems that since the pandemic, Zoom has added many new options that may be helpful to some users, but they've also made the interface needlessly complicated for others, often neglecting basic ergonomic considerations. Among other irritating issues in my use cases:

  • full-screen by default. The presenter has to go through an additional step just to start his/her presentation.
  • No sound on screen sharing by default. I take great care in embedding videos in whatever presentation they're making so as to avoid disrupting the presentation flow by switching to another app.

 

Thanks for any insights!

So i have been receiving this error when the host share the screen and i take control - "Your internet connection is unstable " & the control lags a lot, i cannot get any work done.

I have followed the following steps which i found on the internet and the forum - 

1. I was on W

ifi , checked the speed , its still works good (45 mbps).

2. Tried with wired connection, same problem

3. Tried with zoom browser client , same problem

4. upgraded to latest zoom version, same problem

5.ran the network connectivity tool inside zoom, all looks good there but the problem still persists.

6. Have prioritized the zoom application in task manager at the highest, still same problem

I'm so fed up with  this error now, i cant get any work done. we bought the yearly package of zoom for this sole purpose & its just useless now.

Will appreciate  if anyone can provide any solution.

Error codes: N/A
Device type: Chromebook
Zoom version: web client
Details about troubleshooting steps you have already taken
-windows/chrome/web client works as expected
-chromebook with no proxy works as expected
-chromebook App works as expected

 

when using web client on a chromebook, through a proxy server, we get
"Joining Meeting Timeout or Browser restriction" error and fail to connect.

 

using the same proxy but with Windows/Chrome/web client, things work as expected.

 

taking tcp packets, we noticed zoom web client (Chromebook/chrome) has a unique behavior when a proxy server is used.
-dns queries for "zoomxxxx.xxxx.zoom.us" (*guessing host is websocket connections)
-no requests happen for either above IP address
-no requests happen for above host names through proxy

 

the rest of the requests to zoom behave as expected with no dns queries and all going through the http proxy.

 

to confirm, i have done the same test through windows/chrome/zoom webclient, and all requests occur as expected, with no dns queries and all going through the http proxy.

 

any ideas on what could be happening?
much appreciated.
