using zoom 6.2.3 on MX Linux Desktop.

GUI  shows typical bottom layout.

Reactions are enabled.

I attempt to select a reaction NOT in my recent reactions, nothing is select able.

text line for reactions is nearly black text on black background, my windows theme is not similar.

Can not screen capture pop ups.

Also in chat window the reaction pop up is off the screen to the right, unable to use there

I am using the latest version of zoom. Since early October - the solid line of the pen tool changed - it no longer writes with a solid line. This is not due to anything I changed myself - it just happened, I assume with the latest update!. Has anyone else experienced this ‘uneven’ writing tool ? - it is annoying. It is nothing to do with the pen as it is a perfect solid line when annotating in other applications

I'm using Zoom on my MacBook, and I previously used it on Windows. On Windows, I was able to use a feature similar to Picture-in-Picture (PiP), where a floating screen would appear during a meeting, allowing me to see the active speaker or shared screen even when I wasn’t in the main Zoom app.

However, since switching to my MacBook, this feature is not working. The floating screen only appears when I am the one sharing my screen, but not when others are sharing or speaking.

I’ve spent several days looking through the settings and trying to find a way to enable this feature, but haven’t had any luck. Does anyone know how to get this PiP-like feature working on a MacBook?

Hello everyone!

Up until today, I used breakout rooms during my meetings without any issues (even yesterday, the same link worked perfectly). However, today, I encountered a problem: I couldn't open the breakout rooms.

Here’s what usually happens:

1. During the meeting, I create the breakout rooms.
2. The participants are already divided, and I just press Open All Rooms.
3. Everyone gets a button prompting them to connect, and we start.

But today, none of that happened. No button appeared, and the feature seemed to freeze. When I pressed the X button to close the breakout room window and reopened it, it showed that no one had entered the breakout rooms. It only gave me the option to close all rooms—nothing else.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Updating Zoom to the latest version.
• Resetting the breakout room settings in Zoom.

Unfortunately, none of these steps worked. I’m not sure if this is a Zoom issue or something specific to my account (I’m using a free account).

I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions to fix this problem. Thank you so much in advance for your help!

I'm on a research team using Zoom audio transcripts for hour-long research interviews. We're finding the quality of the audio transcription to be very good. However, the frequency of what Zoom calls "sections" is extreme -- sometimes every two seconds, even though the speaker hasn't changed. I can understand having a section each time a speaker changes, but what we're experiencing is much more frequent. It makes the transcripts much less readable. However, deleting hundreds of timestamps for every transcript seems quite a waste of time. Has anyone else found a way to avoid the extreme frequency of these timestamps?

As a related curiosity, under Advanced Cloud Recording Settings there's a setting for "add a timestamp to the recording," which I've always had as unselected. Since the frequent timestamps appear anyway, maybe I should experiment and check that setting just to see what happens. If it's an "opposites" setting, that would be fine as solution.

Effective today, May 2, 2022, new limits are in effect for 1:1 meetings in Zoom Basic/Free accounts.

 Zoom has announced that the time limit for 1:1 meetings in Basic/Free accounts will be set to 40 minutes, the same limit that has been in effect for larger meetings in these accounts. See this Zoom Support article under the May 2, 2022 release notes “Changes to existing features “ section for details.  The relevant text there reads:

More information is also available in this Zoom Support article “Free account meeting duration changes”. 

Please  keep in mind that the volunteers in the Zoom Community don’t make these changes and don’t have information beyond what is already available to the public. This post is for your education, and we’re generally unable to answer many of your related questions, many of  which been discussed or  answered in other Zoom Community discussions.

I noticed on my last Zoom meeting that my name displayed as my husbands (despite being a personal account). Upon checking my profile, it shows linked accounts: Facebook, work email. We previously owned a business together and I figure that's where the issue lies. I'm not able to figure out how to unlink the work email (which we also no longer have access to as we sold the business).

Can you please assist me?
