On Sunday, July 6, I had scheduled a meeting at 7:15 PM. When I wanted to open the session, the schedule said that there was no session. I found another solution, but later-on learned that the session had taken place with an unknown host whose topic traumatized the participants. I have tried in vain to find out what happened. I absolutely want to avoid a repetition of this weird event.

We are holding an event with ~200 people. We have break sessions but we have no ability as the organizers to create say 5-8 breakout rooms with specific themes that then could be communicated to our audience who then could choose to join the room with the theme of their choice.

That would be a very nice feature add fyi.

I was all prepared for my meeting and made certain that the physical background I put up behind me was all that would be seen on my video. As soon as I spoke it jumped to a giant widescreen, exposing the mess on the sides of my background. I have scoured the internet for answers and found the option to choose "original ratio". I was so relieved, as this was very embarrassing. Well, then I spoke, and there was the mess again, right on the screen for everyone to see. I feel defeated! I see many posts with similar experiences, some from over two years ago. Why is this problem not being addressed? People use this program for professional meetings and expect their privacy to be respected. Then it switches and shows everything you were trying so desperately to hide. Is there some secret weapon to fixing this awful issue? I cannot seem to find any option that may make this better on any of the settings and I hate how the virtual/blurred backgrounds make you look all funny. At least on the PWA you can have a little box of yourself and its hides the rest. Unfortunately, the desktop version does not have this and has this stupid "glitch" or whatever you want to call it. Technology has come so far... why is this happening stillllll?!

Hi Zoom community, 

I'm hoping you can help me with an issue we're experiencing lately. When we set meetings with an alternative host (in the same organization), they use their unique link to enter the meeting. However on doing so they are asked to register and then being told the host cannot register. They are then unable to enter the meeting at all unless using a different email address. Any advice in relation to this issue would be appreciated. 

Many thanks

Hi all

I'm at the end of my tether.

Last week any meetings I scheduled appeared in my Apple calendar - I received reminders on my Macs,  clicked the link and signed in - no problem.

All of a sudden, this week - none of the meetings are syncing to my Mac - when I use the Zoom client desktop app calendar - there's no link ....what on earth is going on?!!  HOW do I access my MEETINGS!!!!?!! 😩

I've spent HOURS on this today - and the customer service is absolutely useless - full of people who haven't got a clue how to help you - and just copy and paste generic answers from a knowledge base!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm literally at the point where I'm going to have to look for another client!

Does Zoom have any plans to add automation apis that can be used by the Shortcuts automation system on iOS and Mac OS? I'd like to be able to use that to do things like start a meeting, switch backgrounds based on location,  switch audio/video based on location. An example of this is that I always use a background when calling from home but i don't want to use one when calling from the office. It is a clunky, multi-step process to switch backgrounds. If I could automate this using ShortCuts, I wouldn't need to worry about this.
