I have recently downloaded the latest version of Zoom, and I am not a fan.

I teach online and frequently use the annotations feature.

Now, everytime I annotate, I get a pop up privacy alert asking me "Who can see" what I'm sharing. Is there any way to disable this feature?

Also, is there any way to make the taskbar always appear at the top (now, it automatically is on the left side of my screen) as well as be UNdocked when I enter a meeting? I know how to do these things once I'm in a meeting, but that's a pain to do in every meeting, several times a day.

Thanks in advance!

My microphone is not working in the zoom ap.

1- Tested -Speakers working, not picking up sound with microphone

2 - unloaded and reloaded software

3 - Tested microphone in different ap platform and others can hear my voice no problem.

4 - Went to settings  and did a microphone test there and it is working.

5- Checked my ap access to give permission to the zoom ap and it's on.

Any other suggestions on what else I can try?

thanks

So I have been using zoom for forever but suddenly my blur background option is gone. I live in one room so I really need it! I checked and I am using the latest version of Zoom. I am not sure if suddenly, my laptop doesn't meet the requirements for the blur... 

They say you need:

• AMD
  • 8 logical cores
  • 2.0Ghz or higher

I have: AMD Ryzen 3 3200U with Radeon Vega Mobile G ]fx 2.60 GHz

I can see my GHz matched but idk about the cores. Again, this used to work, less than a month ago... Can anyone help?

Recently my Camera stopped connecting to Zoom. I am not entering meeting with the launch button, rather I have to join though my browser. This limits me to audio only. My Camera works on other apps, for example I can video chat to friends in facebook. I even tried changing to an older cloned SDD, yet I still was unable to join meetings through the tradition ZOOM method and had to revert to joining through my browser.  I even reset my modem thinking it may be a bandwidth issue. I have run out of ideas and could use a few suggestions. 

What I have tried. 
Creating a new zoom account.
Uninstalling zoom, using the zoom cleaner, and reinstalling zoom
Changing USB ports. 
Resetting my Modem
Using a different hard drive.

    I use a very simple array of hardware to stream a weekly Zoom meeting. For over a year it performed reliably. It was something we could always count on. Over the last few months, it has become hit-and-miss if it will even work.

HARDWARE:  Logitech Mevo Start (3 built-in mics, HD lens); MacBook Pro, iPad (or iPhone)

    Could my connectivity issues center around the wi-fi network? It is WPA and listed as “weak.” Would WPA-2 make a difference?

    So basically, here is my workflow for a wired (USB-C) connection. The camera is connected to the MacBook and turned on. I then open the MacBook and login to our Zoom account and start the meeting. Next, I open the video and audio menus to select the Mevo Start. Problem is, the cam is not listed. What is the logical cause of that? In the wireless mode, I start the webcam then open the wireless webcam app (for Mevo) on the iPhone or iPad and select the cam there before going on to Zoom. Once again, the webcam is not listed in Zoom’s audio and video menus! The iPhone, Mevo Start and MacBook are all on the same wi-fi network.

    Until I can fix this anomaly, I just open the MacBook (or iPad) and turn the computer toward the meeting. The resulting recording is crap as you might guess.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Is anyone else having issues with ZOOM connecting international calls?

I scheduled a call for this morning, one party in the U.S., the other in the U.K. Both parties were able to dial-in to ZOOM using the phone numbers, meeting ID and passcode provided by ZOOM. However, ZOOM never connected them to each other.

This is the third time this has happened. The two prior incidents were reported to ZOOM, ZOOM did nothing to find the cause of the problem, talking in circles to make it appear they didn't understand the problem (which could not be clearer), never actually addressing the problem.

When I tried contacting technical support after this morning's incident, not only was ZOOM's automated system unable to find the meeting ID, they couldn't find our account. I then called the sales department (the only way to reach a live person). Sales was able to find the account with no problem, but refused to put me through to technical support.
