Lenovo Flex - Participants out of Alphabetical Order - Open Mic

Has anyone experienced the Participant list not rearranging based on Name?  I think it was part of a recent update.  I reinstalled the app on my Lenovo Flex and its still out of order.  I don't mind the order that much, but the list won't change, it use to bring open mics to the top and it won't do that either. 

 

We deal with large meetings(up to 200 participants) where I have to mute a few elderly ones that from time to time hit the mic button and it is hectic trying to track down the open mic while the speaker is on.

 

the only thing that changes the order is when they raise their hands other than that the list is static, almost as if there is a setting to list people in the order they arrived.  ??

Avator missing?

Hi,

My registered avatar with a beautiful sunset isn't showing in meetings.  It used to but not anymore.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.  If this is so hard to do I don't get it.

There seems to be a bug where Zoom now forces me to launch a meeting in the browser (which I dislike greatly) when I click on a meeting link, rather than in the application. How do I make sure this never happens for my meetings? I've tried everything in my settings, but there does not seem to be any option that enables me to have a choice to now launch my meetings in the app vs. the browser. Does anyone have an easy fix for this? 

 

Please fix Zoom! This is a very annoying bug!

People are using my personal room when there's no meeting

I've received several email notifications recently about someone entering my personal Zoom room when there isn't any meeting going on or scheduled. I set the "let participants enter before host" to only five minutes, thinking that this would keep the... Show more

I've received several email notifications recently about someone entering my personal Zoom room when there isn't any meeting going on or scheduled.  I set the "let participants enter before host" to only five minutes, thinking that this would keep the room "closed" until meeting time, but it doesn't seem to work that way.

I do use the same personal meeting room identifier every time, so it looks to me like the link/invite I send out can always be used at any time -- even when I've not planned a meeting -- by folks who had received an invite from me earlier... but I didn't think that people would be able to come in and use the room when I haven't started or scheduled a meeting, and when I'm not there.

Is this how it's "supposed" to work?

Resolved! Zoom Meetings dropping

Hi all, 

I'm hoping I can get some help. 

 

I conduct weekly Zoom meetings for our business with clients across the U.S.  

 

Starting about 5 days ago I was on one of these meetings and I got dropped FOUR times!  

The clients were still on (nothing happens to them), and I don't receive an error message, I just get kicked off.  

Since about 5 days ago, I have had this same experience multiple times.  

 

We thought maybe it was our Internet, and got an Ethernet cable and a booster from our Internet provider and today did a test, and even though we are connecting directly to the Modem, we still had this issue.  We also thought it might be the computer we were on and changed that too.  We are still having the same problem. 

 

I am at a loss and have another Zoom meeting scheduled tomorrow with our clients that I can't cancel or postpone.  

 

It's beyond unprofessional when the host is dropping in and out throughout the call when I'm the one in charge of training. 

 

Can someone PLEASE help?

Can't get into my own meetings without going through the browser...and even then it's strange....

So. The last two updates have messed up so much, changed settings etc. This last one tho, if I click on a meeting in my scheduled calendar (google) it tells me to wait for the host. DUDE I AM THE HOST.  When I went to sign in even my photo was different? Like, where did my photo of my dog go? It's just....gone? Now it shows my Logo ,which is not terrible, but still what is happening??

It also keeps freezing up on my end and I'm having to leave the meeting and start all over again, and yes it tells me the host is ALREADY in the meeting and needs to let me in. Again. DUDE, I AM THE HOST.

Yes, I'm venting now. I don't have the bandwidth in my own brain to figure this stuff out and I'm still ticked that videos STILL suck to play in meetings and nothing seems to have ever been done to improve that. 

On that note. I live in a major urban city with no internet issues.  I've rebooted. I've deleted and reloaded the app (Surface Pro 7). I still don't wtf is happening. Sigh. I'm old. I'm tired and my brain is broken. Someone help??

Hi. me and my class mates getting direct messages from someone who's using our names during class. one time one of my class mate received direct message from someone who used my name. it's not me who sent DM to her and there's no one with the same name as me in the class. and today several people received rude message from another person ( i will use fake name for that person "Carol"). She sent really rude DM to several people. The actual Carol who's in a class didn't send that DM. Most of us received the same message at the same time. Is it possible someone who's in our class is using our name? Every time we received that kind of DM we checked people who's in the zoom meeting and only the real person is in the meeting. and we can't reply to that person who's using our names. That happened to anyone?

Hey, 

 

I am having some problems configuring calendar integration from a "Zoom video conference system" account used for a video meeting room. Also the user activation is a bit of a hazzle, not being able to login to the mailbox of the account for some reason (Exchange). I guess this is mandatory to activate the user and be able to assign a license to it? Or are there other ways to assign licenses to a video device? 

Can you guys refer me to documents that describes how to configure an account in Exchange 365 to be used for Zoom? I need to be able to book the room/video device in the Outlook Calendar.

I use a MAC. Zoom kept saying an update was necessary when signing on. I would allow the update...but it kept coming back with an error code. I looked up the error code and followed the instructions as to how to get the update on my MAC. I no longer get the error code. However, since updating (it may or not be connected) I keep getting dropped. This is not good in the midst of a counseling situation. I just had a coaching session (50 minutes) and was dropped 6 times.  I get the little circle and re-connected in about a minute. I do not have other programs on (it was suggested I close them all) and my internet is strong. Because I'm a not-for profit, I got my account through tech soup and when I call for tech support they tell me I'm not eligible. On line suggestions include going to my picture and seeing if I have all available downloads...but that is not possible on my tech soup version that I can find...there is not drop down menu below my picture...HELP! please!
