Since the end of August, we have been experiencing problems for the meeting hosts during Zoom Meetings.  The host will lose their controls, the screen shares will fail to update, and they seem to have no other choice than to force a shutdown of the Zoom Client software.

We BELIEVE that the client software is being updated while the meeting is taking place and the controls are lost when the notification of the upgrade takes place.  This is just a theory since following the meeting update notifications were present on some attendee's screens.

The problem has occurred with more than one host, on different computer platforms, and on different days.  During one meeting lasting 1.5-hours, the host locked up three times.  Thankfully, a co-host was chosen so the entire meeting didn't shut down. 

During our board meeting, the host locked up, could no longer be heard over their microphone, could hear everyone else over the speakers, but had lost all controls.  They were NOT using Screen Share at the time.

Symptoms:
The host is the person that locks up.

Controls vanish.

Screen Share images do not refresh although the host's cursor movements can be seen.

Task Manager and/or CTRL-ALT-DEL must be used to exit the Zoom Client software in order to rejoin the meeting and gather control again.

Sometimes a Zoom Client update notification screen is present after leaving the meeting.

Closed Captioning is being used during the meeting (with or without the Save History feature enabled).

The time intervals when the lock-up occurs are inconsistent.

In our meetings we tend to always have a co-host selected, I'm not sure what occurs if there is no co-host.

The other attendees and co-hosts do not seem to lock up, only the host.

The lock-up occurs for meetings with and without required registration.

The first occurrence of this was noticed on August 31st and the most recent time we were affected by this was on September 9th.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

When recording for podcasting I notice an issue that when one person talks, any 'talking over' eachother, or grunts of agreement from the second speaker cut out the main talker or just get muted automatically and I don't know how to stop it. 
I always use separate audio files for myself and my guests, but even if I cut out their 'cough' or weird sound from their audio, it has still muted or distorted the sound on my own audio recording. 

This is a frequent issue that I've been having and I'm unsure how to avoid it. It obviously makes laughing together over a funny joke sound wacko weird and not nice and I seriously hate having to deal with this issue. 

The people I am interviewing have started to hear feedback when I talk to them (3 different interviews) 

You can hear it at 10:19.

I really need this to work properly for tomorrow and I don't have time to buy a new computer. Please help! 

I'm not having a specific problem (as far as I know...)  I just got fed up and nuked windows off of my hard drive and switched over to Linux Ubuntu as my primary OS.  I just ran my first Zoom meeting in Linux and was surprised as some of the differences between the Linux version and the Windows version.   Is it normal to be unable to move the individual windows around, or is this an issue that can be corrected?  I'm accustomed to placing the person who is speaking directly beneath the camera, and/or placing people who are "just listening" at the bottom of the screen and the people with video on at the top... but I can't do any of this.

Is there some setting I need to change, or is this just how the Linux version *is*?  Might seem like a minor issue to some, but it's disconcerting to be unable to do things I've been doing since shortly after the pandemic started.

Any input is greatly appreciated!
