Calender Syncing non zoom meetings to zoom calender- Account being used by multiple people

I stumbled across a potential (serious) problem with the Zoom plugin today. My non-Zoom meetings are now showing up in the Zoom calendar – they appear on the day they are scheduled to take place. I discovered this by logging in to check something else, and a privately-set calendar reminder that I had for this morning appeared in the Zoom account. I ran a test by adding a new calendar appt for Friday – it didn’t show up on Zoom – and then a second test appointment for today, and it did show in Zoom. (They appear as “Not a Zoom Meeting.”)

Resolved! Does not recognize me as owner of account - when I join a meeting, it thinks I am a participant

My ZOOM account used to work properly. Now, and I don't know why, it is not working the way it did before. Whenever I set up a meeting ahead of time, then later join the meeting, then ZOOM thinks that I am a PARTICIPANT. It does not recognize me as the owner of the account, so I cannot make someone a co-host and I cannot allow someone to record the meeting. How can I fix this?

Video not working for some meetings

Hi -- I'm running the zoom app on my chromebook 1.6.0.1691 (0724) . - When I create and launch a meeting, my video & camera work fine.- For some other people whose meetings I attend, my camera does not function during the meeting. It works fine when ... Show more

Hi -- I'm running the zoom app on my chromebook 1.6.0.1691 (0724) .

 

- When I create and launch a meeting, my video & camera work fine.

- For some other people whose meetings I attend, my camera does not function during the meeting. It works fine when I'm in the waiting room, but when the meeting starts, my camera is grayed out. Meeting owners have sent me an invitation to turn on my camera and that doesn't work.

--- So far, this has happened multiple times consistently with one meeting creator (although it only started a few months ago -- before that it was working fine). It has happened once with a different meeting creator. Other meeting creators, it is fine with.

-- If I use the zoom app on my phone, video is fine. So it seems to be specific to the chrome app and not related to my account overall.

 

Note that these meeting creators are all people with different accounts and organizations.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Adam

Remove or edit a phrase that displays following my name when I join meetings.

How can I remove or edit a phrase that displays following my name when I join meetings.  Currently it says something like "Mark, the best ever", and I want it to only list my name.

So I was testing out zoom features while wearing a particularly embarrassing outfit, when it all of a sudden joined me into an empty chat room and showed my camera. Now tommorow there is to be a meeting held in that meeting room, and im since im not familiar with the program im wondering will they be able to see what i had been dressed in if i left the room immediately? Or will it show the last thing my camera saw when i logged out? I am extremely nervous about this.

Does Zoom send invitations to specified invitees through the Zoom app?

I recently scheduled a Zoom meeting through the Zoom app on my Windows laptop, and then no one I invited got the invitation from Zoom.  Am I mistaken that Zoom will send its own invite message if I do this?  I'm trying to find efficiencies in the system so that I don't have to copy invites and send myself through my work email when I'm trying to set a meeting up.  Thanks!

Transferred meetings from deleted user not recognizing me as host

I deleted a licensed user from my company's business pro account and transferred all her data to my account. But the transferred meetings are not recognizing me as the host. When I try to join, they say "wait for host to start the meeting." I tried signing out and back in, which did not help. Why am I still not the host of these meetings?

Scheduled a meeting, both parties were mute, and video did not work. I saw my guest for two seconds, then heard them, then all went mute. My camera below has a red mark and there was no way to get rid of that as unmute.

This was done on my desktop using a PC laptop.  

One time I was invited to a meeting and the same thing happened

Local Recording *ONLY,* No Cloud -- How?

Until relatively recently, my Zoom desktop client (Windows, latest version) was set up to record calls locally to my computer -- video, plus different audio tracks for each speaker. Now, and over the last few months, however, it *only* records to the cloud and requires me to download it.

My desktop client will create a folder for the call on my local machine, and it will save chat transcripts, but the recordings themselves are ONLY saved to the cloud, despite the fact that I have cloud recording turned off and local recording turned on in my account settings -- in other words, I have everything set up both in the settings of my desktop client and in my online account settings to make local recordings work... but Zoom continues to save recordings only in the cloud.

Anyone else experiencing this??? Thanks!

I have the free version of Zoom on my Ubuntu machine. My Ubuntu install details:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Release: 22.04
 

When I go to share my screen with another participant the participant is unable to see my screen they tell me they see black. Then I did some research and saw this post https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/202082128-Troubleshooting-black-screen-during-screen-sharing

 

When I follow this section:

Configure xcompmgr

After installing, open the terminal and run this command:

xcompmgr -c -l0 -t0 -r0 -o.00

 

I get this message:

Another composite manager is already running (0x800016)

Please help. Thank you.
