As a zoom admin I am looking to enable the option "Automatically sign users out after a specified time" under the security settings. I have already contacted the support team with a question about how the sign-out happens, which was answered. However I am still looking  for more information, if anyone has had experience on enabling such option.

This article - https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0061708 states that "The settings to automatically log you out after a certain amount of time depends on the configuration set by your account owner or admins." however there's no further clarification.

Currently I have no time-out set, meaning that the zoom client for my users stay logged-in indefinitely. However, Okta (which is my SSO/IDP) is configured to reset sessions every 12 hours. To my understanding this means that Zoom will override whatever is coming from Okta, correct? For example my session in browser for my zoom dashboard will keep logged for twelve hours as long as I am active.

I would like to assure that by enabling the option "Set different enforced logout times separately." this will stick with the zoom posture I will define rather than my Okta session policy, allowing for example the clients installed on user's laptop to keep 7 days and web-sessions lasting only 1day.

If there's any further documentation that confirms such behave I would appreciate the guidance, so I can attach to my internal guidelines/policy, to back me up as I make such changes on a global level to my org.

thanks all! 

Dear Zoom,

I'm running Zoom meetings on my iPad (12.9-inch 3rd generation iPad Pro, iPadOS 18.7.1). Even though I've got "Original sound for musicians" activated in my settings, my participants can't hear loud musical recordings played from a nearby speaker, even though they can hear my voice very clearly while I speak in the same room as the music.

This seems to be a new phenomenon because in past years they've been able to hear those recordings played out of the same speaker without issue. Can you help me solve this? I've tried looking for other settings to change within your iPad app, but the "Original sound for musicians" toggle switch is the only one I can find.

There are other threads on this forum dealing with similar problems, but Zoom's reps so far seem to be mostly offering solutions that would pertain to Zoom on a computer, not on an iPad. Can anyone help?

Over the last couple of weeks, I've experienced an issue where the bottom taskbar is appearing and disappearing on its own. I have it set to hide. My cursor is nowhere near the Zoom window, not even on the same monitor. I just ran the latest update to see if it made a difference. It didn't. It's very annoying and frustrating as I'm trying to record a clean video feed. Running on MacOS 15.7.1.

Hi there, 

I am trying to access Zoom Analytics. However, I don't seem to have a page dedicated to this. On the articles I have read, they all claim that I should have a page titled 'Analytics and Reports'. I only seem to have 'Reports', but nothing else. I want to be able to see how many zoom-call participants shared a message in the chat and how many people engaged with a resource link. Please could someone help? Thank you!

Hello, I have recently deleted all my videos from my trash folder. It was a mistake, deleted permanently but I do really need those videos since they belong to an important interview done to an important person. Is there any chance I can get it again?

Hi! My zoom has been perfectly fine until a few days ago. I was in a lecture when i decided to play some music from spotify while the prof was screen sharing a video. But then the spotify sound was so muffled, which has never happened before. Then suddenly the spotify sound went perfectly normal but then till this day i can't hear anything when someone's screen sharing. I can hear perfectly fine if they're talking through their mics but i can't hear anything from the screen shared. I've been looking everywhere for help so please help me with this.. and no, there's no problem with my laptop speaker as it still does the same thing even when i connect to bluetooth speaker or headphones. i tried reinstalling and restarting but still no use..

This program violates standard windows UI protocols:  it refuses to close when the "X" in the upper right is clicked.
This is the same scammy behavior we have seen from malware,  viruses and other apps that try to take control of the system, disregarding the user's desires.  There is another thread on this topic, but it was closed with the resolution "by design", which is a terrible answer and shows this company does not care two wits about it's users.

Until such time as this company decides to follow standard UI protocols, we must take matters into our own hands...

Create a batch file on the windows desktop that contains this line:
taskkill /F /IM zoom.exe /T

Execute this bat file when you are done with your session and it will force Zoom and all child processes to close immediately.
It is quick and it works well.
