Managing both personal and work zom accounts

A while back I signed up for a personal Zoom account. I used it mainly for online open mics where musicians perform for other musicians in an open mic fashion. Then I got a job and, of course, they had a work Zoom account for me to use. I'm on Ubuntu 21.10 so I downloaded and installed the zoom client. I get scheduled for Zoom meetings and I click on the link and a browser tab opens and starts the Zoom client. Sometimes I seem to be using my personal account and sometimes I am using my work account. And sometimes I have two zoom icons in my notification area and I am apparently running two different copies of Zoom. It's very confusing.

 

If I log out and stop all zooms and start one up again and click Sign In there's an SSO button there. Assuming that's single sign-on so I click that.  The Zoom window changes to say "Sign in with SSO" and then there is a domain <company name>.zoom.us. At the same time, there's another Zoom window that shows me logged in already with my work account.  Also, a browser tab opens also saying "Sign in with SSO" and has a Launch Zoom button. Finally, there are not one but two icons in my notification area for two different zoom apps running!

 

Clicking on the Zoom icons in my notification area yields two different menus. One Zoom icon lists:

 

Join Meeting...

Share Screen...

Switch Languages >

About

Exit

 

While the other one shows:

 

Join Meeting...

Share Screen...

Open Zoom

Settings

Switch Languages >

About

Log out

Exit

 

Looking at the process table I see not 1, not 2 but 4 zoom processes. Two of them are /usr/bin/zoom and two are /opt/zoom/zoom. /usr/bin/zoom is a symlink to /opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher. Seem that running /usr/bin/zoom (really ZoomLauncher) simply turns around and starts /opt/zoom/zoom, but then it just hangs around...

 

Considering I already have 4 zoom processes running with two windows and two icons in the notification area pressing "Launch Zoom"  in the browser tab seems pointless and indeed is pointless because clicking it does nothing.

 

Clicking on the short menu Zoom icon and selecting quit kills the Zoom window that had the "Sign in with SSO" leaving only two zoom processes. Closing the Launch Zoom tab does nothing but close that tab.

 

Is this really how Zoom is supposed to operate when you have personal and work Zoom accounts?

If the Host and Co-Host lose connection and all participants move into the waiting room, does this also pause the meeting if it's being recorded?  Will the action of moving participants to the waiting room pause recording of the meeting until the Host or Co-Host can rejoin the meeting?

When I attempt to share my streamed video content, such as from YouTube or online video clips, the clip will play for a few seconds, then stop. I can restart it, but it stops again. The clip actually stops. The video control button on the app switches from stop to play. This only seems to happen on one zoom meeting. I have been able to play videos on other meetings. Are there settings or rights i need to be assigned? I am functioning as a cohost during these meetings. Thanks.

We have two zoom accounts.  

When my tech assistant set them up, he confused the names and of the two rooms in the drop down menu, which includes "Myself" and then the names of our Zoom rooms.  So signing into our main account, the drop down menu shows the other account's name, and vise-versa.  

Neither he nor I could see how to change that name in the drop-down menu.  Can you tell me how I would do that?

When I set up a reoccurring meeting it is no longer in my personal room. When I set it up as a reoccurring meeting I am also no longer able to put it on my calendar through zoom. When I set it up a call in my personal room, it is no longer showing up on my zoom calendar. 

Is there a way to get back to setting up reoccurring meetings in my personal room and showing it on my calendar?Please help.
