Hello, is there tried and tested procedure for preventing any unwanted interruptions during a meeting, without having to lock the meeting. I want people to be able to enter the meeting anytime they want (no waiting room) and even leave anytime they want, but NOT interrupt in any way a powerpoint presentation that I will be giving. I need assurance that the act of people coming and going will not remove the focus of my mouse slide advance  - I'm using a Kensington wireless clicker. And of course I need no have zero noise from participants and I don't want anyone else picture from appearing over mine. My current thinking is:

Spotlight for Everyone, Mute All, Mute All Upon Entry and untick 'Allow Participants to Unmute Themselves'. 

 

Is this correct or is there a better way, have I left anything out?

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi there, For the last two years that I've been on Zoom (though the college where I teach), participants have been able to join before me. As of a couple of days ago, that's no longer the case.

 

I've gone through settings and it would seem they should be able, but everyone has to go through the waiting room now. Has this happened to anyone else? I like my students to be there before I'm there so they can chat among themselves.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Zoom clients 5.10.0 - 5.10.4 on Linux (Pop!_OS 22.04) crashing at startup

Hello!

 

Context

  • distro: Pop!_OS 22.04
    • Running kernels (on either of them the issue exists)
      • 5.16.19-76051619-generic 
      • 5.17.5-76051705-generic
  • Having an Nvidia GPU, having Nvidia drivers installed with the package:
    • system76-driver-nvidia 20.04.50~1650301328~22.04~ab5bdf1

Issues

Found two issues with all 5.10.x clients, up to the currenly available one, that is 5.10.4:

  1. They either crash at startup, and the only option is to run it using zoom --disable-gpu-sandbox 
  2. They run (with that flag), but they hang while joining a meeting.

Currently, I was able to have it running again by downgrading to 5.9.6.

 

Btw, the documentation (such as Release notes for Linux page) should also inform users how to downgrade in such cases, instead of having to keep searching for an answer in the wild or this community (I used wget https://zoom.us/client/5.9.6.2225/zoom_amd64.deb -O zoom_amd64_5.9.6.2225.deb).

 

Any advice? Next 5.10.(.5?) release would solve this?

 

Thanks,

Marius

I like others, am having major problems running Zoom
under Fedora 35.


Fedora 35 by default runs the Pipewire audio daemon,
and my outgoing audio (my spoken voice) was extremely
distorted.

 

I switched from Pipewire to the PulseAudio daemon,
and my spoken voice problem was fixed.

 

HOWEVER, I teach music classes and I need to
play audio files while I share my desktop.

 

Still, even though I am running the PulseAudio daemon,
when I try to share my desktop, Zoom displays this message:

 

"You need to install PulseAudio(1.0 and above) to support Audio Share"

 

even though I am running PulseAudio VERSION 15 !!
So the Desktop Share feature is not recognizing
PulseAudio.

 

I have reported this problem to Zoom support, as
ticket 13239618 but Zoom support NEVER gets
back to me!

Hi! I would appreciate your help.
Every time I go LIVE on Facebook via Zoom, the privacy switches to "Only me".

I always select "public" but it automatically switches and nobody can see it.

 

I then always have to switch it manually on Facebook  during the call. It's frustrating.

 

Does anyone have the same problem or can help me? THX! Ulrich

Hello. I'm looked through the forums and seen some references to this but no obvious fix to date so posting here with other findings.

 

I'm having persistent crashes when recording a Zoom call locally between myself and 1 or 2 others. This does NOT happen on my MacBook Pro M1 (2020) model for whatever reason. I'm running the latest version on both - 

5.10.1 (5839)  as of today - and have no antivirus or other security software running in the background. I think the only things I DO have running are Adobe CC, 1Password and TextExpander. Any guidance here would be appreciated as this tends to happen within 10 minutes or so during every recording and has become extremely frustrating. I've submitted crash reports to Zoom on at least 2 occasions when this has happened.

 

Help!

Thanks

Zoom Group Call Quality : Cameras Decreased to less than 720

I have a pro subscription. I host a monthly podcast using zoom. I use virtual camera from OBS to pipe the show into zoom. I capture the cameras of my guests from zoom (since we don't have NDI yet - but thats a different matter to moan about)

I note a SIGNIFICANT decrease in quality. I did a search, and found the following article.

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/207347086-Using-Group-HD-video

I have enabled HD Group calls in all the settings, so i should be getting 720p in the group call, but what I actually get is a grainy pixelated mess. I guess you could call it "standard video" This means that I have degraded webcam quality for my participants on the live stream, as well as a terrible virtual camera to show the guests the content from the show (OBS virtual camera).
 
I'm pretty annoyed that Zoom would downgrade the quality of the service I pay for like this, and support could not help me. 

Anyone got any suggestions?

We have had a number of issues with users complaining about the Zoom "low resource" warning, which is weird as not only does it not look like the devices are working overly hard/consuming lots of resources, but were getting it on old both old and new laptops only! Not on desktops (which are considerably older). 

 

Here is an example.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I recently added an avatar to my Zoom account. (it's the same as my account picture.) However, when I attend a church meeting on Zoom, my avatar doesn't appear by my name on the participant list--all I see are my initials--and it doesn't appear on my window when I turn video off. How do I make the avatar appear in both places?

 

Thank you.
