Please assist:

Anytime I want to join a Zoom meeting on my laptop I am unable to do so by simply pressing the link. It brings me to the Zoom program and then I have to enter the Meeting ID and passcode manually. Is there a way to have the link just launch Zoom automatically? I'm not sure if it's specific to my Zoom settings or my browser (Firefox)? It works just fine on my android....

This has been happening ever since I upgrade to Windows 11. I am using Chrome browser to launch Zoom.  I have tried

1. Uninstalling and reinstalling zoom

2. Updating the video drivers
3. A brand new video camera 

 

Nothing at all works.  I have all the latest drivers for the samsung monitor. It is incredibly frustrating as my company has a "cameras on all the time" policy, and I always need to share my screen, and I can do neither with Zoom.  I have none of these problems with Google Meet or Teams.

Resolved! Error 403 when editing a poll question

I created a poll question in a meeting template yesterday and saved it without a problem. I attempted to edit the same question today. When I click on save, I am receiving a 403 error. Does anyone have any insight?

Unhelpful dependencies from Google and Microsoft when scheduling meetings

Recent updates link the ability to include scheduled meetings to Google and Microsoft Products. This is unacceptable for e.g. Mac users.

 

Old (well working) situation:

When scheduling a meeting, Zoom would immediately and automatically create an .ics file that a Mac then automatically detects as calendar file including all the information that you still find in the "copy invitation" button. This function is only a "text copy" and does not create calendar files.

 

Now (worsened ux) situation:

The only way to create an .ics file today is with the browser version. Even Firefox extensions do not work for OSX mail and only link into the Google and Microsoft World. Instead of complementing the old way with these additional integrations as additional option, the old functionality was removed from the app entirely while not easing the usability of the web application. It almost appears as if the remaining possibility to download .ics files from Web-Zoom would be a "forgotten" remainder.

 

Recommended workaround until this has been fixed in favor of Mac users:

Do NOT use Zoom for scheduling Meetings at all and only use Zoom for ad hoc meetings if you cannot switch to other video conferencing products. Use standard invitations in a text file or as Mac notes entry to copy-paste into calendar entries manually.

 

What everybody should reflect on:

How dare Zoom to "forget" a large user community like the Mac users? What is the more or less hidden policy behind such a move? What is the rationale to iterate this release of integration updates only with Google and Microsoft products? What have Mac users to expect in the future if something like this pure ignorance towards Apple-focused user groups can happen at all?

When I use my HP laptop only in Zoom, I have no issues. 

 

On Sunday mornings, for Sunday School, we have been using a camera attached via USB that also has a microphone.  This is so attendees via Zoom can see the attendees in person.

 

Now, when I use on Sunday, Zoom will not recognize the microphone.  If I go to settings the settings are frozen, i.e. cannot test microphone or see an option to switch from laptop to camera or vice versa.

 

How do I get around this?

Hello, since September I have had a consistent annoying problem that I cannot solve. Live meetings go along fine, but when I record a meeting and play back the recording, I find that the screen has frozen about 10 secs in and although audio continues to record, the rest of the on-screen interaction does not. Frustratingly I only discover this after the live event has finished. I would love to know how to fix this.

Every time I try to host or join a meeting, the controls are gone just replaced by a white box, and I cannot press any other buttons. They do not work, even if I try to close the window, the button doesn't work. I use zoom every day and it just started this morning. I even tried to redownload zoom, still did not work, on the app or the browser platform.
