Hello,

 

It seems to be possible to start a second instance of the ZOOM application for meetings on the same windows machine using the /secondary argument when using Windows key -> run.

With that it would be possible to join the same meeting from the same PC at the same time.

Usually this can also be done using the browser, but the browser version of ZOOM doesn't allow for the participant using the browser to be an interpreter. 

Of course this would also be possible with workarounds like virtualisation etc.

 

We are hosting ZOOM events with different translations. The translators are usually in the same room. Currently we need to use different computers, cameras and microphones simultaneously. We have a fairly good sound system which is connected to one computer. And having to handle several different computer with two microphones per translator (one we use for our recording/streaming and one semi-professional microphone etc specifically for ZOOM) is a bit of a complicated workaround.

For us, being able to use two zoom instances at the same time to join the same meeting would solve a lot of these issues.

 

I want to emphasis that this question is not about joining two different ZOOM meetings at the same time, which can only be done with a second ZOOM account or with one business/enterprise/education account.

 

My main question in this regard:

Is this kind of usage allowed from the site of ZOOM?

It seems that ZOOM is usually not allowing to run a second instance of the desktop app on the same PC.

That might sound like a weird question for you, but we don't want to adopt the mentality "it's possible, so we do it".

 

Thank you very much.

I want everyone in meetings I host to be able to screen share by default.

 

I've set the appropriate setting in my account (see screenshot).

 

However, whenever I click "New meeting", Zoom still defaults to "Host only" screensharing (see screenshot) and other users cannot share their screens. 

 

Is this a bug?

Virtual background on samsung tablet S3 android

Hi,

 

I do not have the option in the application zoom (android version 5.14.7) on my samsung tablet S3 to select a virtual background.

 

Any ideas?

Thank you.

can't create a virtual background.

My system and photo conform to all the requirements. I have read the articles, but none of what they say to do actually exists in my zoom. And it is _my_ zoom, I'm the acct holder, so this doesn't have anything to do w/an admin not giving me rights. ... Show more

Also, this seems to be a recurring issue for a lot of users, why can't zoom just post directions that are actually useful?

My organization has meeting that contain sensitive information. Is there a function/feature that would force those who attend to sign an online waiver?
