I keep getting kicked out of Zoom meeting when speaker changes automatically or when I change it

I was on this morning from my macbook, was able to log in, get to the zoom manager for the meeting and when she put me through to the meeting itself all was fine until the person speaking changed to a different speaker and I was kicked out.  It does the same thing if I click on another participant, kicks me out. Happened 5 times this morning for the same meeting.  Zoom works perfectly fine from my iphone though. I am using the Zoom website on the laptop, not a downloaded app so there's nothing to delete and reinstall.

Cannot launch meeting - address invalid

I just upgraded my account to the monthly subscription. When I went to lunch the meeting, I got a message saying that “Safari cannot connect because the address is invalid”. Does anyone know what this problem is and how to correct it?

Hello. We record a weekly podcast via Zoom. We're wondering if there is a feature where we can see a timer while we're recording? While we're recording, we'd basically like to see how much time has elapsed.

We're already aware that there is a MEETING duration timer. We also know we can add timestamps to recordings. But we are specifically inquiring about a RECORDING duration timer that shows up WHILE we're recording.

Resolved! Live captioning

When hosting a meeting, I used to be able to activate captions then hide them just for me.  Now it seems that once I put them on, the attendees have the option to enable or disable them for themselves but I can't.  If I disable it, it turns it off for everyone.  Does anyone know if I can do this as I find it very distracting when presenting but know the benefit it can be for those who need it.  I can't believe Zoom would take away the option to do this so assume I am missing something.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Zoom version: 5.13.11

 

Is a host able to verify someone in the Waiting Room is legitimate and welcome into the main meeting room by seeing that person's live video before admitting them? All I seem to be able to see is a waiter's name and either their profile picture or possibly only their two initials.

Unable to record multiple shared screens - defaults to capturing 1st screenshare desite viewing 2nd

So I hosted a meeting where we needed to share two screens, one with an English version of a presentation and another with a Spanish version of a presentation. We also used interpretation during this meeting. We don't need to show each version of the presentation and screen share them side-by-side. Participants can toggle whichever screen share / version of the slide they want to see. 

 

The challenge is that I wanted to capture two recordings:

1) One recording of the first screen share of the Spanish version of the presentation with the Spanish audio interpretation channel

2) Another recording of the second screen share of the English version of the presentation with the main English audio channel.

 

We had multiple people record locally.

 

The problem I've run into—and as was the case for multiple people in my meeting who tried to record locally—is that even if I had selected the second screen, it would default to recording the first screen that was shared. So what we ended up getting were these two recordings:

1) One recording of the first screen share of the Spanish version of the presentation with the Spanish audio interpretation channel.

2) Another recording of the first screen share of the Spanish version of the presentation with the main English audio channel (despite choosing to view the second screen share of the English version of the presentation).

 

TLDR

Wanted recording of 1) Spanish presentation slides (screen shared first) with Spanish Audio and 2) English presentation slides (simultaneously shared second) with English Audio. First video captured fine. Issue: For second video, Zoom defaulted to recording Spanish presentation slides (shared first) with English Audio despite toggling to view the English presentation slide (second screenshare). 

 

Can someone help fix this or confirm this is just a default action (and bug/issue) that Zoom has?

Changing Meeting menu bars

As a teacher of English, I use a graphics tablet/pen to write on the wide screen of my PC during meetings, jump from page to page on my browser and have many tabs open in order to do so, and switch from program to program using my taskbar. The problem is that the menus for the meeting and for annotation are horizontal so having moved them to the top and bottom of my screen so as to not obscure my view, I have to move them every time I want to open a tab or view a running program (e.g. a pdf file, jpeg image, word doc, etc). And the main menu bar, self-hiding when moved to the bottom of the screen, is not helpful all the time.

Is there an option to make the menus vertical, so that I can move them to the sides of my screen (like the apps menu bar - which I switch off) and therefore not have to keep moving them?  If this option is not available, why not, as it's a no brainer for making meetings more user friendly?

Thanks in advance for any replies,
A

Video on my Mac is totally fuzzy but works fine on my Ipad

Zoom works great on my Ipad. 

But on my Mac, it is totally fuzzed out, although I can make out the general outlines, and colors seem appropriate but but lack any depth.

I have a Zoom One Pro Account. I have been signed in all the time, but recently I tried to sign in my account using my friend laptop. I was prompted to enter 2FA. I did not setup 2FA for Zoom in my google authenticator, and I was not given any recovery code. Now I am unable to sign in to my paid account and am stuck, because the chatbot keeps asking me to reset password, which was successfully did, but still stuck at the 2FA verification, I can't sign in to my ipad and laptop because I had changed password and stuck also at 2FA. Can anyone please help?
