Dear Developers, I suggest you enable us to to resize PiP

But I highly suggest that Zoom update its picture-in-picture and make it resizeable, don't you all agree? Basically, picture-in-picture is what happens when you minimize the Zoom meeting i.e. you get a small square and are able to move it around your screen. But the problem is, the square is too small and I can't see what's going on. I suggest that the developers allow us to resize it so we can take better notes especially when the speaker is doing a screen share. This is really good for meetings that are not set in the English language.

Virtual background: it is about the basic right to privacy!

Dear Zoom Team,I've been an online tutor since pre-pandemic and have recently stopped using Zoom for one reason: lack of privacy, because the virtual background feature requires specific hardware, https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/36004348451... Show more

Dear Zoom Team,

I've been an online tutor since pre-pandemic and have recently stopped using Zoom for one reason:  lack of privacy, because the virtual background feature requires specific hardware, https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360043484511-Zoom-Virtual-Background-system-requirements    This is not acceptable!

 

During the pandemic, my students were sharing mobile phones, tablets and laptops that were available to them. And since they often sat at a table in their own private space, be it their bedroom, the living room, or on the floor in a quiet area of their home, they couldn't have a virtual background for privacy (I have to use a physical screen behind me when using Zoom).

Skype and Jitsi recognised that people didn't want their private space to be seen with the introduction of a choice of virtual backgrounds (blurring too), without the need of specific types of motherboards or graphics cards. I thought that was very thoughtful and considerate. Students (and educators too) need some basic privacy when learning (teaching) online. It is not too much to ask!

A virtual background would also benefit a whole host of organisations, where the participants to a meeting don't want to feel intruded upon in their private space, particularly in meetings where people don't know each other.
If Skype and Jitsi can provide a virtual background without requiring specific types of motherboards or graphics cards, surely Zoom can do the same.

 

I will not be using Zoom for my lessons and will not renew my membership till this issue has been addressed.

How do I remove a disruptive registrant from future meetings that are recurring? The only way that I see will send an email to them with additional information. All I want to do is remove the person from the registration list and/or block them from using the same email address. The person was making sexual comments.

Lost Recording

I was the host of the meeting and I recorded it (it also showed that it is being recorded) but I think I was not able to log in during the meeting. Is there a way to retrieve the recording?

Upgrading via "check for updates" vs "download page": any difference?

In the support article "Upgrading Zoom to the latest version" (https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362233-Upgrading-Zoom-to-the-latest-version), Zoom lists two options for upgrading to the latest version on a desktop client. One is to "Check... Show more

In the support article "Upgrading Zoom to the latest version" (https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362233-Upgrading-Zoom-to-the-latest-version), Zoom lists two options for upgrading to the latest version on a desktop client.  One is to "Check for Upgrades" from within the client, the other is to download from the download center: https://zoom.us/download

 

My question: is there any difference between these two methods?  Is there any scenario where one will work more simply and reliably than the other?

 

BACKGROUND:

I support a "lifetime learning" organization.  We provide classes (via Zoom since the pandemic started) for 200+ senior citizens.  Many of these users are computer-phobic, with systems set up for them by others (who may or may not be available to help with upgrades).  (Actual question from one of these seniors: "What is copy-and-paste?")  They use a variety of devices: Windows and Apple desk/laptops, iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook.  What many of them know about Zoom is that if they click on a link sent by someone else, magic happens and they are in a meeting.  Period.

 

I am trying to write some instructions to guide these users through the upcoming mandatory  upgrade on November 1.  These instructions need to be drop-dead simple and totally bulletproof.  Also, I do not want to wait for a "prompted upgrade" to happen on November 1 because that is a class day for us and there will be zero time to deal with any glitches. 

 

We've run some tests, and had problems with both "prompted upgrade" and "download center".  With "download center" a Windows user was asked a question about 32 bit/64 bit/ARM client.  Needless to say, he had no idea which was correct.  He tried 32 bit, then got a question about "download automatically next time you join a meeting or manually" with no indication (that he saw) of how to download manually.  Another user was prompted to upgrade a few weeks ago, accepted "upgrade", something went wrong (who knows what), and he was left with no Zoom at all.  But then other users have had both types of upgrade go "like butter", with no confusing questions about 32/64/ARM, and no question about now or later.  Color me confused.

 

Lastly, I have a preference for the "download center" approach, because the "check for updates" approach assumes that you sign in to your Zoom account via the client app, and the majority of my users have no Zoom account.

 

HENCE THE QUESTION: is there a difference between the "check for upgrades" method and the "download center" method?  Which would be better for my users?
