OS: MacOS Version 12.6.2 (21G320)

Zoom app version: 5.15.0 (19644)

Zoom virtual background upload previously worked for me.

Today I tried to upload a new background but the Zoom app hangs after clicking the "+" button on the Virtual Backgrounds tab of the Background & Effects section of Settings.

Things I've tried: uninstalling and reinstalling app.

Does not work.

Is this a known bug? Please help!

Well this is embarrassing. I restarted my laptop and this issue has been resolved. Tech Support 101.

Hello,

ZOOM Version: 5.15.0 (19644)...
since a few days the ZOOM meetings I host are frequently terminated. Today alone, 6/22/2023, this happened about 6-7 times, often at prominent points:
Right at the beginning of a session, then right at the end of it after about 45 minutes. Then during a silence in the middle of a session, then 2x in a break between two sessions and finally again at the end of a 90-minute session.
Previously (i.e. 2-3 weeks ago) I thought it might be due to the Telekom router in our Bonn, Germany,  mindfulness practice center, but it only ever happens during ZOOM sessions. We have 250 MB and the router is now replaced and brand new.

The participants stay inside the meeting while this is happening.
It really seems like something / someone is interrupting / terminating our sessions. It also takes a long time for me to get back in after that. I always had to restart the Mac and enter passwords and numeric codes at ZOOM, which is never the case as a subscriber.What can I do to make these glitches stop, as I am a course host?
Please send me a reply as soon as possible.
Thanks.

When entering once I was shown this remark and question (see screenshot attached), although I am always using the same MacBook Pro.

I have a MacBook Air that's a few years old. 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, 16 GB memory. Works fine when Zoom isn't open.

When I'm in a Meeting, performance degrades significantly in my browser (Chrome), particularly when I open a Google Doc. The time it takes to render a web page or view a Google Doc doubles or triples. It's worst with big docs (50 - 75 pages); they often won't render no matter how long I wait.

I can see the CPU taking a big hit when I open a big doc. Apple claims this CPU/memory combo should be plenty to handle this set of applications. Not sure what to do?

how do I get zoom to recognize that its not my daughter signing into zoom and recognize we are two different people with different emails and passwords because it keeps saying that my email is invalid. I am about to start classes and need to be able to log into zoom PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I'm not sure what section this should be in.

I'm on Windows 7 and was forced by zoom to update to the newest version.

Now it takes over 3 min to start up and another 3 to join any meetings. 
It used to be instant.
Because of this severe delay, I thought it was just getting hung up and just wasn't working so I've been doing the whole uninstall, reinstall, reboot, etc... thing the past few days trying to get it working until I now saw that it just takes forever to load.

I've noticed that it creates 9 instances of msedgeview2.exe in my processes now, which I never noticed before.

Either way, this is way too long in todays computing world for an app to open.  I'm looking at 6 min total to get into a meeting now when a few weeks ago before the forced update, it only took a few seconds.

Does anyone know of any fixes and/or how to turn off the auto-updates?  I don't like them being on for this specific reason. 
This is really bad if now it's going to take over 6 min to join a meeting through the program, or now forcing me to buy a new computer because the app updates are crippling my functionality.
