Hopefully posted in correct section. 

I get zoom links from various groups via emails. I want to be able to make sure I have the correct name showing when I open zoom. But the meeting ALWAYS just opens without asking for the name. Makes no sense.

Now if I open the app, it starts and ask me for the name. However, I can't paste the web link into the meeting join fields. The web link has the meeting info including passwords in the string, but the zoom app is too dumb to parse the information or provide a field that does that. 

How insane is that? 

Has anyone come up with a viable way to point left? There is a right pointing arrow, but no left pointing arrow as though you only ever have to point to the right. It becomes impossible to use when wanting to draw attention to something that is on the left edge of the screen. It would be most helpful if there were both left and right pointing arrows.

I spend many hours training in the Zoom environment and this is a constant headache. Using the drawing tools is cumbersome when they are left behind on the screen when you've moved on and have to constantly find the trash to remove your previous markings. It would be nice to incorporate a mouse and key combination to erase both the last marking or all markings.

Had multiple issues:

Registered participants unable to attend the session.

Troubleshoot by:
1. Clicking on the join button on confirmation email received
2. Copy & pasting the link into browser
3. Using the meeting code and passcode
4. Using a forwarded link from other participant
5. Clicked on the top left hand corner to copy and paste the link of the zoom session for other users.

All of the above steps ended up routing participants back to the registration page and not being admitted into the zoom meeting.

Can someone please advise..

Email to Zoom support, was told its a browser issue but we tried everything that the support staff suggested. 

The issue is not that participants are unable to register, they were able to register for the meeting  BUT UNABLE TO JOIN THE MEETING. 

Curious to know how institutions conduct their degree assessment exams and similar evaluations online? With Zoom’s “All Screens Mode” in meetings, this is possible! Zoom Meetings can be utilized effectively for proctoring online exams.

“All Screens Mode” allows the host to request that all participants share their screens, providing the host with a scrollable, side-by-side view of the participants and their shared desktops. This feature is specifically designed to offer a more streamlined and straightforward proctoring experience, enabling the host to monitor both participant videos and their desktop activities simultaneously. When activated during a meeting, the host can also choose to allow participants to view all shared desktops.

As participants begin sharing their screens, their videos and shared desktops will appear side-by-side, while non-sharing participants’ video tiles will be displayed at the top of the window. The layout ensures that hosts can keep track of multiple participants with ease.

If the host opts not to allow participants to view shared screens, participants will only see video tiles in either gallery or speaker view. As more participants share their screens, additional pages will be created, enabling the host to navigate left and right to view all participants.

With this innovative feature, Zoom provides institutions with a robust solution for securely and efficiently conducting online exams, ensuring academic integrity and a seamless experience for all involved.
