I teach guitar over Zoom and we use headphones and quality microphones so we can turn off noise cancellation and echo cancellation to actually be able to hear each other play our instruments.

Normally this is not a problem but despite turning off  "automatically adjust mic volume," setting "suppress background noise" to low, enabling "original sound", enabling high "fidelity music mode" and having echo cancellation set to auto, his feed completely shuts down all guitar playing in an impressive way. When he talks during guitar playing, his voice is also affected.

Anyone have any idea what this might be? He is using a Samson GoMic with a Dell Latitude 7430 with Windows 10 Pro

Any help is much appreciated.

I am currently logged in through my University email id but when I try to join an online class, I get a prompt switch accounts, despite being logged in the right account? Another student faced this issue and said that updating zoom worked for him. Strangely in my case, these issues started only after I updated zoom yesterday. Uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted without success. Kindly assist.

How to recover my Pro status?

Hi,

My Pro account worked in July just before the summer holidays. When I tried to connect this week and organize a meeting, Zoom didn't recognize me and I ended up with  a basic account. How can I recover my Pro status?

Assigning an alternative host

All the directions for "Assigning an Alternative Host" say to look for Advanced Options - there is nothing I can find called that when I am editing a Meeting. There is an "Advanced" column on the left-side menu, but it's only about other features, none of which is connected to adding an alternative host.

Cannot send direct messages to host. "[host user name] is restricted from receiving direct messages"

I cannot send direct messages to the meeting host. I am getting an 'error' message when trying to send a (private) "direct message" to the meeting host. It disallows sending my message and says, "[host user name] is restricted from receiving direct m... Show more

  I cannot send direct messages to the meeting host.  I am getting an 'error' message when trying to send a (private) "direct message" to the meeting host. It disallows sending my message and says, "[host user name] is restricted from receiving direct messages".   But the host has not disabled anything.

  I have been using Zoom since March 2020 as a host, cohost, and participant.  I have co/hosted hundreds of meetings since then, so I know my way around most of the more common settings, including the account holder universal settings.  I have used Zoom on various iterations of Windows, Mac, Chrome, iPhone, iPad, Android tablets, etc.  The problem is currently being experienced on an iPhone 13ProMax. 

  I am presently in a meeting as a participant with 10-15 people and a single host on an enterprise account for a college. (The host is in TX, and the participants are in CA.)  On more than one recent occasion, I have been receiving this 'error' message when trying to send a direct message to the host.  I can send a direct message to 'Everyone', and the host can send a direct message to me. But I cannot send one to the host.  Other participants, including me simultaneously joined from another device, are able to send direct messages to the host. Direct messages between participants have been disabled. (I.e., direct messages can only be sent to the host and to 'everyone', but not to each other.)

  Neither the host nor I know anything about this 'error' and cannot see how to disable/enable this.  The host has not intentionally blocked anyone.  In fact, the host has not made any changes to the chat settings. The host is in the main room with all participants (has not joined a breakout room).

  Something else:  I was able to send a test direct message to "Everyone".  After that, I was also able to send a direct message to the host.  Neither of us knows why I am suddenly able to send a message to the host.  Coincidence?

  We would very much appreciate any information regarding how to re-enable (or even how to enable/disable) direct messages between a participant and a host.  Is this a host thing, a user thing, a universal thing?  Is there a setting for this? Or is this a mysterious bug?  Thank you in advance.

I have installed Calendly and tested it and it worked fine.  However, when I integrated with Zoom it set up the meeting an hour earlier.  My Zoom is set up as GMT and so is Calendly.  I have even checked the setting on my PC and they are also set up for the correct time zone.  Any suggestions?

Is there any way to turn on the Vanishing Pen for people viewing your screen? It would be helpful to be able to draw on the host's screen, especially when collaborating on something. Other pair programming tools, like CoScreen and Tuple allow this out of the box.
