My screensaver turned on, and when I came out of it, the video was on

This is on Zoom 6.4.12 on a Windows 11 pc.  I was waiting for a meeting to start in the waiting room, with both audio and video turned off.  I stepped away from the computer, and the screensaver turned on.  I had to unlock the computer to get back on, and when I did, even though the video icon had a red line going through it indicating it is turned off, my camera was on.  I had to toggle the video on and back off to turn it back off.  Has anyone else experienced this?  If so, is there a solution?

Resolved! Zoom, external microphone, and iphone help needed!

Hello!  Here's what I'm trying to do.  I want to connect to a Zoom meeting on an iPhone and use an external microphone for the audio.  I have tested the external microphone and it works when recording a video, but once I switch over to Zoom, the audio goes through the phone and bypasses the microphone.  I'm GUESSING that is because the microphone is input only and not output, but I'm wondering if anyone has successfully used an external wireless mic for speaking to a Zoom meeting.

 

Thank you!

Spotify sounds very strange when I start a Zoommeeting

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. My name is Sarah and I am from the Netherlands. 

Since I have a new laptop, there's something strange going on. When I am listening to Spotify on my laptop, it sounds great. But the minute I open a Zoom-meeting, even before sharing sound, the music sounds very troubled. Like it's under water or something. The minute I end the Zoom-meeting, it sounds normal. So there must be a link between zoom and spotify - that wasn't there before. Can somebody help me with this problem? Thank you so much!

How to change joining zoom in a convenient way

previously, we are able to invite our team and i get an EMAIL  with all the information to join and phone details needed.

 

Today, when i make a meeting, i get an email but there is a link in the bottom "join instruction" that needed to be click instead of seeing this in the first window email. So, some user have confusion why they need to click the link, and some user have an issue that they dont know how to join the meeting because they didnt click the link.

Can you tell me how do I revert this back? or this is a new feature?

P.S I cannot add image so i cannot elaborate properly.

I am restricted from screen sharing as host and as guest.

When I start a meeting as host, I've been intermittently getting a "screen sharing has been disabled" message. I'm intermittently unable to share in other people's meetings, as well. I've checked all of my settings to ensure that there isn't anything weird. Regardless, I wouldn't disable my own ability to screen share even if it was available.

 

Please note, this is NOT an issue with other participants. This is an issue where I, the HOST, cannot share in MY OWN meetings. I don't need instructions on how to check  sharing settings.

Resolved! Adding event to iCal

It looks as though there's been an update to Zoom. When I used to schedule a meeting in the Zoom desktop app, it would automatically add it to my iCal calendar, I'd grab the link, and send it to attendees. Now it doesn't do that - it tried to open Outlook instead which I don't use, and iCal doesn't look as though it's an option when I log into the web portal to change the settings. 

Can anyone suggest a workaround, because right now, I don't even know how to grab the link to send attendees, as the app only gives me the meeting ID.

Resolved! Tabs nested when sharing screen

Hi, 

 

When using the share screen function, in the Application windows section, all my open web pages are nested together as one option. Can I change this so I can select an individual web page to share directly without first sharing them all?

Several weeks ago I checked the box to create audio transcript for my meeting recordings and it's been working great until today when my meeting/recording did not transcribe.  I have the video and audio files but no transcript files.  I looked in settings and found that the check-box was not checked and the ability to check it was locked by admin.  How did this box become unchecked and why do I no longer have the ability to check it?  Is there a way to get my transcript (from the existing recording)  if the create audio transcript function is enabled?  Thank you!

As other member have reported, I consistently have a "your network connection is unstable" while using zoom if I turn the camera on which causes voice to break and come choppy

 

- I have checked my internet speed and it's lighting fast (169 mbs on fiber over wifi)

- I have even downgraded my camera to preserve bandwidth (did not work)

- I only experience this issue with Zoom... use Teams, Google meet, and other apps without issues all the time

- I have uninstalled and re-installed zoom to the latest version (same result)

- I have resent routers and fiber modem...

- I work from home and I am the only person using any bandwidth

 

Does any one have any suggestions? It's impossible to reach a live human in support
