Mine is the only video showing in my meeting

All of a sudden, in my meeting mine is the only video showing.  I can, of course, hear the other participants, but cannot see them.

Whilst a meeting is in progress download speed appears to be affected.

When there is no meeting taking place. a large file downloading (about 5GB) would download at speed of connection (about 300mbit/s). However whilst meeting is taking place the download speed appears to drop down to 11mbit/s. The bandwidth itself is not an issue because on a different machine on the same internet connection is able to download at over 200mbit/s

Additionally using the speed tests fast dot com and wifiman dot com shows 11/300 during meetings. But strangely speedtest dot net shows 300/300

OS : windows 10, updates are current

version : 5.13.12053 64bit
Also hearing from someone else it appears to happen on a mac too.
Is Zoom reserving bandwidth somewhere that cripples other programs elsewhere?

Conducting polls at meetings

Our organization is having an election, and some members want to attend with Zoom. I see that polls can be made anonymous, but is it secure? Who can view the results?

How do I find a Zoom enabled room I could rent for a couple of hours?

I have Zoom on cell phone, but would prefer a professional setting environment.

 

I would like to rent a room, for maybe a couple of hours, it is for a court date, So it is not something I would need on a permanent basis.

I could use iPhone, but I would end up doing it in car for privacy reasons, and to avoid being disturbed etc...

So perhaps renting a room would be better.

Hey Team!

I have an issue (or maybe some settings enabled this way, not sure) that when I am on my laptop, and someone shares their screen, it displays over what I am doing.

Scenario.

I am working remotely and I am always on a collab zoom with a few colleagues. So I usually have zoom in the background and talking with them but on my own stuff on my computer. If someone shares their screen it immediately shows on my screen and I swipe back to what I was doing. It's annoying

Does someone know how not make the screenshare the default screen for me? 

I would like to be able to see the screenshare only if I swipe to Zoom window if I want, not the opposite.

I accidentally clicked on a Zoom meeting link for next week.  The Zoom waiting room opened.  But I cannot find a way to get out of it.  I don't want this window open till Tuesday of next week. I even end tasked it thru task manager.  The task manager closed it and then Zoom restarted it.  Ugh! I do have 3 little dots in the top right corner, but the only option is to report an incident.

 

This is concerning as I have my own clients that sometimes test links and without a way to back out of them, they will be emailing me for help, and I don't have an answer for them.  Is there is a way out of the waiting room without having the host start the meeting then end it. Thx.

I was helping a colleague prepare for a presentation this morning. When he shared his screen I saw a checkered black box representative of the participants he had on his screen and of the zoom controls bar (audio mute video stop, chat etc.)  I am sure it is a setting but we were not able to find it in the time we had. Does anyone have a suggestion or knowledge of what would cause this problem? We can't fix it for today's presentation so he will muddle through, but we need to resolve it before the next presentation. TIA for any help. RWM54

Hello, 

 

If I am scheduling a meeting to let 2 different persons speak with each other, can I hide the name or at least the surname of the attendants, so that they cannot see the full name of the other participants in the call?

 

If yes, can I do it before the call start so that I can avoid participating in the call?

 

Least but not the last, can I record the call automatically without myself joining? or do I have to be present to start the recording? of course the participants will need to agree first that the call can be recorded.

 

Thanks in advance
