Zoom meetings repeatedly crash entire computer, causing a restart

Every meeting I've been on for a couple of years now as a client (not initiated the meeting), my entire computer crashes and shuts down about 20-30 minutes into a meeting. I have to wait for the reboot sequence to complete and log back into the meeting.  This happens repeatedly during the same meeting. Have to abandon my desktop (Windows) and use a laptop or IPhone to complete the meeting.  Extremely annoying and disruptive. For some reason it doesn't happen when I've initiated the meeting.

Video stutters and freezes and has caused the same problem system-wide

I could sure use someone's guidance.  Since I installed the latest version of Zoom Workplace I can no longer access a meeting directly within the Zoom application. I must open a browser and, as I am a co-administrator for the meeting, there are features I cannot access in the browser.

Since the installation, video stutters and freezes if it works at all. It has also introduced the same symptions in VLC, Celluloid and MPV Media Player.  Video sometimes works fine in the browser but nowhere else.

I worked with potential iBus issues but to no effect (I support Debian's request it should be optional--its pointless for a huge number of us).  When the video works in the browser there will be 3 to 15 second delays in some sesstios.  Before upgrading Zoom there were never any problems whatsoever either in Zoom or other software.
I have done all Zoom recommendations to rectify the problem.  I have reinstalled all affected software. No help. Have attempted to go back to a previous version of Zoom but installation shunts me into the latest Zoom Workplace.

Not only will Zoom not work right, it has adversely impacted all of the video software on my system. Even when Zoom is purged from the system, all the adversely impacted software continues to give stutter play-back (commonly one frame per second). I have updated all drivers and the system is fully updated. I even upgraded the Linux Mint Mate system from 21.3 to 23.1 No impact. On its own, Logitech camera works fine, not impacted other than the stuttering and freezing in Zoom. No other software using video is running when I use Zoom.   As noted above, the Zoom installation has introduced stuttering and freezing not only in native Zoom but also of all the video software on my system including all formats for films.  Audio is rarely affected.

I DO NOT WANT TO DO ZOOM THROUGH THE BROWSER BUT THROUGH THE ZOOM PROGRAM AS IN THE PAST!

[My apologies if the above is overkill.  Other sites ask for this stuff]

I have searched for lib* files used in common by multimedia video software. None overlap with each other or with Zoom that I can identify.  It suggests there is some other modification Zoom makes to the system that has system-wide impact. (Does it modify the kernel?)  I am clearly not the only user with this (not limited to Linux) problem ... by a serious and notable margin.  We all need help on this issue and really needs to be fixed on my system if I am to do the work I need to do (I only use the software on the company's paid license specifically for this purpose--not a "freebee" situation).  If I could switch apps and try another interface I would, but, as you know,  that is not an option. Please advise.

Thank you kindly in advance for any insights and help you might provide.

Audio

Zoom picks up my voice but not my instrument. This never happened before. I couldn’t find the right audio settings to correct it. I rejoined the meeting, I restarted my tablet, no change. I uninstalled and reinstalled zoom.

During my zoom sessions, my clients rapport problems of the music coming from spotify plus my voice getting scrathy and dissapearing momentarily. I dont hear these interferences, the sound sounds perfect for me.

I have a fast and stable internet connection and a new computer, so Im not sure what could be the problem.

Does anyone have any advice?

Hi,

 

I've been having issues with my video connection for months. Every time I'm on video the connection bars in the bottom left of the screen are yellow or red, and my video regularly glitches/freezes. I have very fast wifi and just bought a new computer as well (to try to fix the issue), and super fast upload/download speeds. All my other apps work perfectly and never have speed/connection issues with anything else.

 

I've reached out to the customer support team, but none of their suggestions have helped. The issue persists every time there are atleast two people on video. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but frustrating for sure.

 

Thanks for any help.

OS version: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

Zoom version: 6.4.6 (1370)

Hardware: Dell XPS 9320 Laptop, using integrated mic and speakers.

 

Problem: During Zoom meetings, my sound and microphone will abruptly stop working. When this happens, if I go into audio settings and click "Test Speaker" no sound plays. My microphone still transmits sound, but it becomes very distorted and low quality. This state can usually be fixed by leaving and rejoining the Zoom meeting. It also seems to have a chance of being fixed every time I swap speaker devices in the Zoom settings. I can usually trigger this state by sharing screen or otherwise swapping focus away from Zoom.

 

I don't have this issue with any software other than Zoom. I have a suspicion that this is a Pipewire/Wireplumber issue, but I don't understand enough about how Zoom interacts with those to troubleshoot. I haven't found any transparent documentation about that.

 

Troubleshooting steps I have tried:

1. Checking that I am not muted, and toggling audio options like background noise removal. This happens regardless.

2. Restarting the computer and Zoom.

 

Thanks and let me know if there's any more helpful info that I can give.

System Setup and Hardware

- MacMini M1 running Sequoia 15.2 (24C101),

- Connected by USB to,

- Zoom Livetrak L-8 running v1.12 and driver installed on Mac OS.

Fault

Livetrak L-8 functions normally as an audio interface when Zoom is closed. As soon as Zoom app is opened the interface disconnects and cannot be used, including in Zoom. As soon as Zoom is closed, the interface returns to functioning normally.

 

Restarting the Mac and reinstalling Zoom software makes no difference.

Starting two weeks ago, I can no longer change the audience when FB launches via zoom.  In the past the audience is set to (only me) and I could change to public. Don't know why the Zoom FB audience is set to "only me" when my FB profile audience is set to public.  I would like my audience set permanently to public and not "only me" when zoom launches FB. How can this be fixed. Once I end streaming to FB from zoom, it will allow me to change to public but not while it is live. Very frustrating.
