I started the Zoom meeting, I shared my screen with the layout where the content is behind me. I recorded local to my computer. When I play the video, it shows the content and me side-by-side with myself extremely small (more like fully content and myself barely visible on the side).

When I did this in a previous Zoom meeting. It recorded exactly the way I was presented during the meeting. Why/How did the layout change for the recording of the current meeting, and is there a way to fix it? (I have the option for "keeping unconverted recording files for troubleshooting" on)

Thank you for any help

Hello,

I have a question about Zoom Meetings:


How can I prevent participants from recording a meeting? I only found one option in the settings that prevents everyone —including me— from recording a meeting. However, I need to record meetings.


I start Zoom on a MacBook Pro, Tahoe from the Zoom website.


Thank you for your help.

That's the fourth pen to be chosen for drawing an annotation.

Allow non-hosts to view activity statuses of participants in breakout rooms

What enhancement would you like implemented? Describe in as much detail as possible, providing specific use cases.
What: 1) Allow non-hosts and non-co-hosts to see each others statuses even when in different breakout rooms.  2) Allow them to see the full participant list.

In a zoom meeting with 20 staff, 10 are in breakout room A and 10 are in breakout room B. 

1. If the participant is not a host or co-host in room A, they cannot see other participants status (be right back, away, muted, screen sharing ...) in room B.

2. No participants can see the full list of attendees which is the second tab in the breakout rooms modal.

 

Who in your organization will use this functionality?
Who:  All who use Zoom with more than 1 breakout room.


How will they benefit from it?
How:  It let's them know if people are active before they enter the room and possibly interrupt and will also indicate if they are away from keyboard if status is set to "away" and jumping into that room with them will not get their attention.

 

Why is this request important to you, and how will it achieve your business needs?
Why:  It better enables Zoom to provide remote work coordination that is more similar to an in office experience with conference rooms and offices.

 

This is the closest setting I can find relating to this issue, but is specifically addressing host/co-host status, not participants.

  • Allow host to view activity statuses of participants in breakout rooms (for example: share screen, raise hand reaction). This allows hosts and co-hosts to quickly view participants' audio and video status, if they are sharing their screen, and if they are using the raise hand reaction. This feature requires hosts and participants to have client version 5.10.3 or higher for activity statuses to appear, and does not apply to participants joining on certain devices such as phone, H.323, and SIP.

I've noticed that on Zoom for android, you cannot use an external microphone 🎤 with the application. You are only forced to stay with the default mic. I have the Hollyland Lark A1 microphones which should make me mobile when handling meetings. They work well with both the video and audio recording applications but don't work on Zoom.

Resolved! Organization Logo and Text with YouTube LiveStream

When running a meeting we are streaming to YouTube, sometimes we have a break of 10 minutes until the meeting reconvenes.  Can we display a logo and message that streams to YouTube instead of just an empty video?

Screen sharing breaks accessibility tools - Zoom steals keyboard focus on macOS when switching Space

On macOS, when I share my screen, Zoom steals focus whenever I switch Spaces (virtual desktops) in macOS. When this happens, Zoom receives all my keyboard inputs instead of the application on the screen.

 

I do not use a mouse and this is getting in the way of my accessibility of using my computer at work.

 

I urge Zoom to fix this; this behavior is not ADA compliant and is in direct violation of best practices for accessibility.

Automatic copying of URL to my clipboard

For years, I had my Zoom set to automatically copy the ZOOM URL to my clipboard every time I opened a meeting. That was very helpful. That no longer works and I can't find it in the settings. Can anyone help me with this? TIA!

Hello. I recorded a Zoom meeting, and the recording file once converted has been corrupted. It has video and audio for the first 10 seconds, but it freezes and the audio cuts out until the last 30 seconds. My Zoom is updated. Also, the recording didn't appear in the recording section of my account. 

 

I have a 2020 MacBook, and the basic plan. 

 

Any help?

Thanks.
