I was recently asked during a meeting to record it. I hit record and after Zoom downloaded it to Local. I didn't want that, I actually wanted it to be available on the Cloud.

Is there a way for me to upload the files that Zoom gave me and place it in the Zoom cloud so I can send a Zoom link to the attendees?

I have a paid account btw, if that helps.

Thanks!!

I previously used Google Signin to link to my account - but because i travel around and use different people's devices,  some times i need to just signin using my email and password.

 

I cannot seem to reset my password as ZOOM keeps forcing me to link my Google Account - which i'm not comfortable with, as i use it on so many devices. How do i stop that?

 

I tried unlinking my user, under user management but it doesn't seem to work

Hey guys 

 

I accident dragged my zoom recording to my desktop of my computer and trashed the video to free up some space on my desktop. I came to edit my interview i did over zoom and found that the video was deleted because I dragged it out of the recordings folder. I have a basic account and I’m wondering if I upgrade to pro will I be able to retrieve or re download my recordings from previous meetings??? I’ve tried retrieving the videos from my trash can and still awaiting some help from Apple and I really need these interviews! Can someone please help me to get these videos again

Thank you

Resolved! Retrieving local recordings

I recorded a long meeting. It shows up under local recordings but then when I open it, it says 'no such file exists'. Anyone know how to retrieve this? I'm sure I've done it many times in the past without any trouble. Thank you

Virtual Backgrounds Not Showing

I have a new computer which is more powerful than my older one. My older one shows all virtual background options and I can use them, but the new one doesn't. It is an i5 with 32 gig Ram. Why can I see virtual background options on the older computer... Show more

I have a new computer which is more powerful than my older one. My older one shows all virtual background options and I can use them, but the new one doesn't. It is an i5 with 32 gig Ram. 

Why can I see virtual background options on the older computer but not the new one pse? 

I have virtual background switched on in the settings.

My Zoom is paid for by the company I work for and I just have use of it and don't see anywhere that I can update Zoom under my account picture in the right corner, just my picture, name, email address (says Licensed) add account and sign out.

Thanks in advance.

Hover text blocks clicks

Just reporting a bug as best I can. The hover text that appears when your mouse is hovered over any of the buttons during a call has the chance of blocking any mouse clicks to said buttons. I've only really experienced it with the mute/unmute button ... Show more

Just reporting a bug as best I can.

 

The hover text that appears when your mouse is hovered over any of the buttons during a call has the chance of blocking any mouse clicks to said buttons. I've only really experienced it with the mute/unmute button but I'm sure it happens with the other ones too. It's really annoying! It's definitely gotta be a bug and I couldn't find anything for specifically reporting bugs so here I am.

I've been having a devil of a time getting Zoom meeting to work without crackling audio.  I believe this is only sound out and not the microphone as I haven't had a complaint as of now.

I've read a number of posts and there is something about reducing the buffer but after Googling how to do this I'm stumped.

Hardware/Software

Windows 11; HP laptop; Bluetooth headset; Zoom 5.16.2 (22807)

Sound and microphone are OK on all other applications.  There is no crackling.

Bluetooth headset audio and microphone OK on other applications.

If I use the laptop speakers there is no crackle on Zoom.  

Test various audio and video applications and no problem on sound or input.

 

Steps to reproduce

Connect bluetooth headphone. 

Listen to music and test.  No crackle.

Open or join a meeting in Zoom and there is a crackle.

Attempted Solutions so far

Turn off all audio enhancement on Windows 11.  Sound still good on other apps but crackle on Zoom.

Forget bluetooth headset and reconnect multiple times.  Still crackle only on Zoom.

So finally attempted to change Zoom settings.

Open Zoom Settings and as soon as I click on the Audio, the sound starts crackling.

Select other Zoom setting and after a short delay, sound is OK.

Tried every Audio Profile and still crackling in Zoom.  Personalized audio isolation is better but still has crackle.

Turn off Signal processing by Windows audio device drivers.  Still crackling.  Set back to "auto".

Echo cancellation set to auto.  Still crackling

 

OK, so what do I do now?  How do I fix and remove this crackling?

Thanks in advance.

Show the breakout room number while in the breakout room

When you go in a breakout room, it's hard to see what room you belong to. A message is only briefly shown, if you miss it, you miss it. People may not be friendly enough with the tool to go and figure out what room they belong to.

 

When in a breakout room, there could be people sharing a screen, or a Zoom app running. All of these take real estate in the top bar, and the breakout room number disappears.

 

I would prefer for the breakout room to always be shown. This is useful for context, and simplifies the user experience.

 

For example, it could be important to know the room number when the host has assigned exercises to individual rooms, and sends people randomly there. People right now get confused because they can't see their room's number.
