Our group uses Zoom to host simple meetings - typically one speaker and everyone else just listens. From the start, we have always placed potential participants in the waiting room until we recognize their name and them let them into the meeting. (We got started that way because of concerns about allowing in disruptors. That concern has lessened and we would like to let people in more easily/quickly.)

We have a large Contact List for two reasons: 1- So that telephone callers are automatically identified in the meeting by name instead of showing their phone number.  2- So that known "computer" participants are quickly recognized and permitted into the meetings.

It would be nice if everyone on the Contact list could skip through the Waiting Room and only those who are unidentified (and not on the Contact list) were held in the Waiting Room until permitted entry by the host or co-host. Seems like an obvious and simple use of the Contact list.

Would that kind of filtering be possible? Is it already, and we just don't know how to do it? Thoughts, anyone?

The Zoom Meeting steps to "stop incoming video" seem like they are applicable only to stop me as a participant from seeing anyone else's video. I'm the host for all of our meetings and I'm being asked to stop everyone from coming into the meeting with video on so that no-one sees anyone's video. Is that possible?

So far, what I'm doing is stopping a participant's video once they are in a meeting and have their video on.

We want to stop all video from everyone so that no one sees anyone's video. Can we do that?

Obviously, it would be nice if we could train all of our users to enter our meetings with their video off, but we have a lot of older participants who don't seem to understand how to do that and usually show up with their video on and they don't even realize it. --Often with results that are embarrassing for all concerned.

(BTW, in case its relevant, our participants/users are not divided into "groups" and our users do not have organizational emails.)

Hello, 

Our fitness business has a premium account that we use to train clients virtually (we have multiple trainers utilize our business account since it’s under the same organization.  When they log in from their individual device, it’s constantly asking for a verification code.  Can we shut this option off so each of our staff can use the business account as needed when training their clients virtually? 

Per Bleeping Computer : New acoustic attack steals data from keystrokes with 95% accuracy 

"When Zoom was used for training the sound classification algorithm, the prediction accuracy dropped to 93%, which is still dangerously high, and a record for that medium."

For security's sake, think about adding a "Push to Talk" option to the Microphone audio settings?

Other than that, user awareness: adjust background noise suppression to the most aggressive setting, mute self when typing, etc..

This weekend my ZOOM Client started showing a new problem:

I use WINDOWS 10 PRO OS on two laptops and have the same symptom. 

When signing in to my account and opening ZOOM Client, I clicked Join Meeting but the client returned to the Join Meeting prompt. I then uninstalled ZOOM 5.15.5, re-booted, and re-installed ZOOM Client. No success.

I am forced to join the meeting via browser Chrome.

Did anyone encounter this new issue? Is it a ZOOM Client problem?  Please help.

I'm using a MacBook Pro and a Blue Yeti Microphone

When I start my meeting I check my sound and make sure everything is working properly, but once I start RECORDING after a little while a message pops up asking me if I want to connect my sound. This disrupts my recording and although I go through the steps and by all the "tests" everything is working, after i end the meeting and go to replay there is NO SOUND.

Everything is connected properly. The Mic works fine in all my other programs. Something is wrong with ZOOM and is very frustrating. 

When I try to zoom my son's piano lesson with his instructor, the piano music is totally disappeared in zoom.

Only voice is audible. I did a microphone test in zoom. Only voice was recorded and nothing else. I also played with the audio setting such as original sound but nothing changed.

So why is zoom only allowed voice and nothing else?  I wonder because I'm on a basic account.

Thanks
