Can an alternative host start a meeting while the host (account owner) is on another zoom call?
I have reviewed Zoom posts to learn the security options for meetings. So far, using a breakout room for the actual meeting has been the best solution, while leaving apparent disruptors in the main room. I, and some of my friends, have experienced extreme Zoom bombing recently where an unknown participant takes over the screen, displaying graphic disturbing video that moves around the various squares. I wonder if they are using some sort of AI to do this. Is Zoom aware of this phenomenon and is there anything else we can do when this occurs? I'm aware of "Suspend Participant Activity" in the Security options. Today, I've been researching how to Zoom bomb online and there are scores of boards on various platforms that share Zoom links to target. We've reported people in the past but this seems to require a different strategy as the offenders are coming in force with weapons we have no defense against.

Will the US national emergency testing on Oct. 4 affect Zoom meetings?
I'm on the latest version of both Zoom (5.7.7.1105) and Logitech Capture (2.06.12) as of Sep 25, 2021. Logi Capture shows up as a camera option within Zoom. However, if I select it as my camera, Zoom displays a pop-up error messages that says "Cannot start video - Failed to start the video camera. Please select another video camera in settings" and I see gray square instead of my video. Is it possible to solve this integration problem?

How do you now Trim a recorded zoom video? I had no problem Editing my recorded videos before they changed to "Trim" recordings, and now cannot Trim and can find no instructions. I need to edit/trim a little off the front and end of my Church Sermons to send out to Church Members.

I had the same problem of slowness and bad sync between audio and video mentioned by many users when trying to share a YouTube video with my students. (I had been able to do this easily using my laptop when hosting a meeting.) It appeared to be a bandwidth problem, and probably because I am now using a very large-screen PC for a hybrid class I teach. So then I brought up the video on my iPad and tried to share it via Screenshare. At this point, I got a message on the screen, saying Content not supported, or something to that effect. More trials doing this with different combinations of devices and I got the same message in a big black box no matter what device is doing the sharing whenever the video is a YouTube video. Sharing videos from Photos on my iPad to my large screen works fine.

Hi,
In my weekly zoom meeting, some note taking AI assistants join.
I happened to mistakenly pass the host control to one of the AI assistant called Dive Assistant and now I can't get the host control back to me. I can't live stream and etc.
How can I end the meeting, the AI assistant is the only host and not leaving the meeting either, how can I undo this.

My picture has a white background, but the participant video does not show a white background.
Hello ,
Is meeting host able to start or stop video for all or individual participants in meeting?
My meeting had a zoom bomber today. I checked the attendance report and I don't see anyone I don't know except one. Imagine the meeting was from 8:00 to 9:00. There's a person I don't know who appeared 8:18 and left 8:20. What's interesting is that they are at the end of the report even though the meeting went to well after 9:00. Are they at the bottom because they were removed?
