I'm participating in a 3-month program that has on 3+ zoom calls per day.   During those we want to identify ourselves in groups by appending something to our display name, like "cohort 6".  That way when people are speaking we can understand what group they're in.   

But for all the other zoom meetings I do all week, I do not want that to be shown, it is confusing for my other clients.

It gets painful to rename myself 3x/day every day.   Also I have to *not* click links to enter meetings, and instead use "join meeting" and enter the number,   or else I don't get a chance to rename myself before it is visible to others.

Is there a way to have the context determine what is displayed, in a way I can control ?

Separately I have noticed that in some more formal meetings my display name is not used, and instead just first+last is shown.   That appears to be under the control of the host.

So perhaps there is something the host would need to do for this "context" choice to work.

If there was an efficient way to switch between accounts,  or to choose whether to be logged in on entry, those might be other ways it could work.

I am deeply disappointed in how Zoom handled the recent Zoom update.Last week, Zoom had me update to the latest and now my web cam no longer works. Not it just shows a black screen. I am on Mac Sonoma 14.1. 

This is a product excellence failure and the fact that no fix was pushed out in the days after is additionally disappointing. I've been using Zoom for sometime now but with Google Meet working better and free with no limit, I'm highly tempted to just switch.

I did the recent update and now Zoom shows my video options (laptop camera and my Logitech) but when I selected the Logitech I get a pop up that says to choose a different camera option. My internal camera works when selected, but if I click on the Logi camera I get a black box. 

My logitech camera works within Canva, and I have checked the settings on my laptop and Zoom has permission for cameras. I tried to find camera options within settings in Zoom but can't find it (I see audio, but I don't have a video/ camera option). 

This is most definitely a Zoom update issue! Everything was working perfectly prior to this update, I need help resolving this. I did submit a claim but have yet to hear back. 

I will be purchasing the large meeting add-on for 500 participants in advance of my meeting. If the number of participants is nearing the 500 limit, can I purchase the add-on for 1,000 participants immediately? Will I be charged only for the difference between the two add-ons, or will I be billed the full price to upgrade to 1,000 participants?
